Artist and Director Text

Words of Mateo Kingman
“Wombs like walls, like atmospheres”
Salt is what keeps us closed energetically, the “door of salt” is the door you go through to
enter the great mystery, what we can’t understand, the unknown.
This song talks about shedding your skin, and the portals we go through in time.
From conception, birth, the different stages of growth, death... it’s a nod to something that
Lhasa Sela once said in a concert: “...when we are conceived, we appear in our mother’s womb as a diminutive light, suspended in this immense space. Then we grow and this world that we are inside, which seemed so enormous at first and so infinitely welcoming, has become very uncomfortable.
And we are forced to be born. And in the moment of birth we all think: this is death, this is
the end of my life. And we are born and it is such a surprise, because it’s just the beginning...”

On this album I explored contrasts between the rhythmic and the atmospheric. I like the
shock and the rupture that is generated by a sudden, radical change in one same song. This
could be a trap song, but when it gets to the chorus it all expands out, the melodies get
stretched out, the music becomes spatial and tense and it becomes a music with no genre.

Words of Jerónimo Albornoz (Music Video Director)
At JUGO co. we’re proud to present the video for “Puerta de Sal”.
Jero Albornoz, CEO & Director, tells us about his experience:
For me, “Puerta de Sal” was an exploration and a personal encounter in which I was able to
combine just right with Mateo’s vision. It was one of those projects where everything flows,
and in our need to tell our personal stories, as artists, we touched unimaginable heights.
One of the biggest challenges and production values was the decision to shoot the video in
Super 16. Returning to film, after several years of “obsolescence” because of digital, and
getting back to the roots was priceless.
“Puerta de Sal” contemplates an intense but restrained transformative process in which
Mateo faces his inner demons after he’s abandoned in a post-apocalyptic world.
Images loaded with texture and symbolism, a powerful narrative and scenic work that
dances with the sounds and lyrics of this key track in the journey that is “Astro”.
