“[this is my own release]
Arafúra is an organic ambient project by Michel de Jong, based in the Netherlands.
Manipulating guitar sounds, using celestial keys, sampling, old analog sources, strings, harmoniums, various acoustic instruments, non-acoustic instruments and programming to create organic soundscapes with a structured sensibility.
Warmth, spontaneity, our surroundings, our hopes and dreams - that’s what’s at the heart of this collective.
The serene calmth before the social storm ...”

about
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'HUMORES I - IV' is a multidisciplinary project by Yvonne Brouwers and composer Arafúra. The starting point for the project is the Humours theory that was developed by ancient Greek doctors Hippocrates of Kos and Claudius Galenus. This theory states that the human form exists out of four main bodily fluids that all have their individual characteristics. These four fluids are each represented by a 'chapter' of life.
These chapters have been the base for four different artworks, as well as four different tracks that each represent a phase of life. The metamorphoses that takes place within these phases is that of human matter. Humores is a project about the substance of the human body, the way it changes, the wonders of coming into existence and eventually returning into nothingness. It's about our flesh, our bones and the blood that runs within us. It's the one thing we all have in common, the way our body evolves and eventually decomposes.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it.
