AUSPICIOUS FAMILY is Fred Sandoval,an aural and visual collagist based in Manila (Philipinnes). Their work explores abstract concepts in music through an approach which is both vicarious and subversive, and primarily incorporates sampling, analog electronics and a plethora of sound design techniques.

I have been a fan of their work for quite some time and recommend checking out their instagram page for some context. You will be blown away by a collection of visual snippets of works done to accompany their sound. A true artist who shows that there is more to sound than sound itself.

You can find their latest release "Gruff Sequences for Dancefloor" out on UK based label CHINABOT
