“Ciclos” by Artomático steps into a living sound sculpture that shifts, breathes, and loops back on itself like the spiral groove of a vinyl record. Artomático is a Spanish sound artist, composer, and percussionist whose work lives at the crossroads of rhythm, texture, and perception. His approach blends acoustic percussion with electronic processing and granular sound design, drifting through contemporary electronic music, sound art, and post-classical minimalism. CICLOS, released in December 2025 as his fourth album, continues that exploration of repetition, memory, and transformation, leaning into textural details and contemplative atmospheres while staying rooted in movement and physical gesture, manifesting a conversation between the microscopic and the panoramic.
The title track, “Ciclos,” unfolds slowly, organically, like a ritual in sound. The song has hard drums and shimmering music, amidst which drives a subtle rattling music. The beats pulse with intention, grounding the piece while the textures above them seem to drift into other rooms, other memories. The beats go away for a moment, and you can hear the rattle more clearly. The pulsating, shaky rattle sits in between and provides an intriguing texture and bite to the song. Hypnotic and tactile, it brings movement recorded under a magnifying glass, with every tremor amplified, every grain of sound shimmering at the edges.
As the track moves forward, it’s a landscape, shifting light across the same terrain in different moments. The beats go away in the end, leaving the rattle and a gentle soothing music. What remains is fragile and meditative, which shows us that repetition can bring transformation in motion, more than sameness. Listen to “Ciclos” loop, linger, and rewrite its own sound on Spotify.
