Javier Segura - IV. La Máquina
Originally released in 1986, 'Nostalgia De Lo Humano' is almost unclassifiable. For Segura, styles are another form of repression, something that serves to label and keep track of those who sees, listens, buys or plays, and especially who sells. Despite the fact that Segura has been producing music continuously since the 1970s, his recognition as a musician was for a long time limited to experimental music circles. He had always controlled his career on his own, on the fringes of the industry. As Javier Segura himself says, his head is full of textures, rhythms and melodies. Through his textured productions, Segura opened up new dimensions to experimental music, using guitars, drum machines, trumpets, synths, or pedals.

Edition of 250 UNITS
English short Version
Almost five years after the inaugural compilation "El sol desde oriente", Passat Continu releases "El ser
y el tiempo", the first solo recordings of the Tenerife musician Javier Segura, a set of seven
compositions that make up a true exceptionality in the panorama of Spanish experimental music and that
have never before been uncovered for listening. This sound document recorded between 1976 and 1978
is presented remastered from its original tapes and with a bonus track, with the invaluable collaboration
of Juan Belda.
Genre: Early electronics / Experimental / Concrete musique
Spanish Version
Casi cinco años después del recopilatorio inaugural “El sol desde oriente”, Passat Continu lanza “El
ser y el tiempo”, las primeras grabaciones en solitario del músico tinerfeño Javier Segura, un conjunto
de siete composiciones que conforman una auténtica excepcionalidad en el panorama de la música
experimental española y que nunca antes han sido destapadas para su escucha. Este documento sonoro
registrado entre 1976 y 1978 se presenta remasterizado de sus cintas originales y con una canción
extra, con la inestimable colaboración de Juan Belda.
Existe cierto consenso en llamar transición española al período que va del fallecimiento de Francisco
Franco, el 20 de noviembre de 1975, a la ratificación mediante referéndum de la Constitución, el 6 de
diciembre de 1978. Años de agitación y anhelo democrático que la población vive con gran
intensidad. Aquejada por una larga enfermedad, la madre de Javier Segura fallece en 1976. El
tinerfeño tiene entonces 21 años y acaba de salir de su primera experiencia discográfica como
compositor en el cuarteto Huellas. Como todo el mundo entonces, Segura se ha educado en un colegio
religioso. Es allí donde empieza a cultivar interés en la música, el cine y la filosofía “dentro de mí
existía, y aún persiste, la idea de que somos un espejo donde algo o alguien se mira para
reconocerse. Es una idea que surge de la lectura de “El ser y el tiempo” de Martin Heidegger.”
Con el objetivo de seguir dando forma a las ideas, Segura destina la totalidad de sus ingresos a la
compra de equipamiento, experimentando en el desván de casa en los ratos libres. Se adentra en
sesiones extenuantes utilizando la metodología de las músicas de corte concreto, grabando encima de
un casete Sony, reproduciendo encima de otro al tiempo que mete más instrumentación por la entrada
del micrófono. Así varias veces hasta sobreponer tres, cuatro y hasta cinco capas. En 1977 se hace con
dos Tascam de carrete abierto de cuatro pistas. Las cintas grabadas en los casetes Sony se pasan al
magnetofón para luego volver a encima del mismo, y así una y otra vez. En sus más de 40 minutos de
duración, en “El ser y el tiempo” suenan flautas, saxos, un vibráfono, un piano, un violín, un arpa, un
salterio turco, un Crumar DS-2, sintetizador monofónico de dos osciladores y de más de 50 kilos de
peso popularizado por Sun Ra en los años 70 e incluso unas placas de metal.

Javier Segura - Melodía en Re
For a good number of Spanish musicians, attracting attention from somewhere outside of Madrid
was a mission impossible for several decades. While the Movida Madrileña, commonly referred to
as the “Madrid scene” in English, stirred things up and made front page news on the basis of new
wave music, musicians that were on the fringe or directly beyond it had few platforms from which
to be heard.
Although Javier Segura has been recording music in his studio almost continuously since the 70's,
his relevance and recognition as a musician has been limited to underground music circles. The fact
that he worked outside of the country's spotlight of power kept his name relatively unknown for
years, something which even the arrival of the internet could not illuminate. Only the appreciation
of a few collectors and disc jockeys kept the light on.
Passat Continu delivers here the first ever compilation by the spanish musician Javier Segura (born
1955), who worked as an isolated cell from his home studio in San Cristóbal de La Laguna, in the
Canary Islands. Working for decades from the underground, Segura build up some brilliant ideas
producing dozens of richly textured songs, stretching borders on ambient, experimental rock,
dreamy folk or concrete music. Using guitars, rhythm boxes, trumpets synths or simply pedals,
Segura managed his own career and produced while published a handful of albums by himself: El
ser y el tiempo (1976), No mires atrás (1983), Nostalgia de lo humano (1986), Lamento bereber
(1989), El ángel caído vol I, la lluvia azul (2004), Levántate (2005) and El orden y el caos (2006).
He also teamed up with Juan Belda on only impro project Arte Moderno (1981-1982), using the
Roland TR-808 rhythm box as a main actor for the first time in the post-Franco’s Spain era.
'El sol desde oriente' uses three of that songs and add six more previously unreleased productions
from 1980 to 1990, probably his most active period of time. Available on vinyl and digital through
Bandcamp. Digital version includes two extra tracks. Vinyl comes with insert with unseen photos
and liner notes by Javier Segura and Passat Continu’s curator David G. Balasch.
