Musicology Presents White label with AP DUCAL
Artist: AP DUCAL Album: U Track: UU Direction: Trinidad Davanzo + Camilo Palma Edition: Renzo Mencarini Footage: Camilo Palma Year: 2024 Description: An imaginary journey through real places and a fictional vision. Descripción: Un viaje imaginario a través de lugares reales y una visión ficticia.
ABOUT: “U” is the 2nd full length album from AP DUCAL on Weisskalt Records. Ap Ducal is the solo musical project of Camilo Palma.
Moody and atmospheric with a nocturnal pulse, “U” is composed of 4 nostalgic experimental ambient tracks drawn from the deep legacy of post-punk and new wave with the silhouette of jazz and the spirit of free improvisation. Sonically, the music is a direct continuation of Palma’s previous work but with a thematically more personal approach. Recorded between November 2022 to February 2023, the majority of the tracks were done in a single take.
The album scintillates with elegant inclusions from Chilean musician Sebastián Román (Persona RS) whom Palma worked in collaboration with. These unique details contributed to defining the album’s sound without overcomplicating the musical delivery. The mastering by Nes Rodríguez (BYM Records) brought warmth and analogue texture, giving the music a spectral richness. These additions enhanced the record’s pre-existing nuances.
The finishing touch to the album was the playful but minimal cover art created by Trinidad Davanzo (Still Life Stylist and Set Designer), a collage of objects collected from her joint home with Palma, based in Berlin.
The single “UU” is scheduled for release on 2 February followed by the full album “U” release on 16 February 2024.
HISTORY: Ap Ducal began in 2012 as the independent musical project of Camilo Palma, based on improvised live sessions, atmospheric textures and certain kinds of soundtrack music. Palma has been a band member in Mutrone (Le Rock Psicophonique), Fulin Lawen (ETCS Records) and a live band member in Föllakzoid (Sacred Bones).
