offb019 Out Level – From the field

Luís Antero’s latest project named Out Level consists of a laptop, electric prepared guitar or field recordings. Having had 7 releases in several netlabels around the world, it is a project composed of many sounds from one lone man. Luís is originally from a small village at the foot of the Serra da Estrela Mountain range in Portugal where his musical influences fuse with his philosophical views as well as literary references.

“To discover Out Level is undoubtely an experience. More enjoyable for ones, less for otherones, all this sound universe touch us in the way as it interwines all a variety of aesthetic languages, that walk from a sight more close to indie and shoegazze, to all a universe of field recordings and idm, with a close contact to the new tendries of all the electronic music of germain alternative circuits […]” Tiago Morgado | XS Records

“O projecto Out Level nasceu da vontade de experimentar… de improvisar, tendo os livros, o cinema e a fotografia como cenários primordiais para a criação musical, a que se juntou mais tarde o universo da fonografia. O objectivo (se é que existe) é criar ambientes que consigam projectar o ouvinte para lá do mero exercício de ouvir música… Quase tudo é gravado ao primeiro take, partindo de uma velha premissa que Kerouac usava em relação à escrita. Só assim se deixa na música o momento…
