Everything follows its own course, so no ending should ever be announced. After some time of inactivity, The Joy of Nature is back.
The brand new “Two Leaves Left” is a mini-album just released in a limited edition to 50 copies. It comes in a package in black satin with two leaves made out of fish flakes. On the inside there’s a jakebox with a vinyl-like CDr.

It contains 7 new songs and more than 28 minues of music. The tracklist is the following:

01. Inland empire
02. the girl with the razor waiting by the sea
03. the locked…

The Joy of Nature’s first life cycle started with a 7’’ single back on 2006 and it closes too with a 7’’ single – “A Ilha Que Perdeu O Encanto” (which can be translated as something like “The Island That Lost Its Charm”), released by New Approach Records.
This single feature 3 tracks with the good old The Joy of Nature sound, a return to the origins in terms of sound, but with another maturity. Its sound is mainly acoustic, including some exotic instruments like the kantele (from Finland), the duduk (from Armenia) and the viola da terra (12 string…

“My Work Was Not Yet Done” is a very eclectic album, song oriented. Less dark than the albums from “The Empty Circle” trilogy, “My Work Was Not Yet Done” comes from the experience,…

http://thejoyofnature.bandcamp.com/album/reharsals-for-departure

Almost two hours of music by The Joy of Nature and its weird twin Teatro Grotesco showing the most experimental side of both projects. Not only the most experimental side, but also the most abstract one. Even though the music is abstract, it tells a story.
On The Joy of Nature side, the album contains 10 selections from the rehearsal sessions for the 2010 concerts at Lisbon and Oporto…

Teatro Grotesco’s second release – the EP “Live at Arco 8” is now available, only as a digital download at Teatro Grotesco’s bandcamp

http://teatrogrotesco.bandcamp.com/

This album was recorded live at Arco 8 on 2009-12-12. Teatro Grotesco on this performance were LC and Gianna de Toni and, besides electronics, the instruments used were heavy metallic percussion, electric guitar and contrabass. If “at the House of Dolls” had a kind of dark cinematic ambient sound, this contains moments quite more brutal, closer to Industrial music. Video projections were used on this performance, creating a claustrophobic ambience. We are used to see images…
