Artist Biographies
• Show Bio for Miguel A. Garcia "Miguel A. García has been active for over two decades and with a discography that exceeds ten albums (presenting which he has toured Europe, America and Asia, performing at no less than the Issue Project Room in New York, the National Arts Centre in Mexico City, the Ftarri in Tokyo, the DOM Cultural Center in Moscow, the Église Saint-Merry in Paris or the National Auditorium of Music in Madrid), is a reference in experimental music and sound art, both for his work as a composer and for his career in the electroacoustic improvisation scene. During his career, the artist from Bilbao has collaborated with names such as Fernando Carvalho, Francisco López, Francisco Meirino, Ibon RG, Jean-Luc Guionnet, Juan Carlos Blancas or Seijiro Murayama, as well as curating events and festivals such as the Zarata Fest, the Hotsetan at Azkuna Zentroa or the legendary and extinct Club Le Larraskito. An immaculate career, in short, to which this work before us is now added. A double album with which the Basque artist has managed to lucidly convey the vital moment in which he finds himself and give shape to this timeless and genuinely avant-garde artistic artefact, called "Littentula". Like a modern Prometheus but using as raw material the documentation of his own capture processes (both for timbre synthesis and for composition), in this new album García signs an intimate and attractive invitation to sublimation, through pieces that are abstract by nature and that display a brutal sensitivity. A stimulating challenge, which has been orchestrated with musician friends of the stature of Garazi Gorostiaga, Enrike Hurtado and Garazi Navas in mind, who have turned his scores into a major work that transcends genres and is divided into two twin volumes, united by a new artificial beauty conceived from the genes of the old world. In the first album of "Littentula", García acts as the creator of an authentic sound stage, where the transmuted organic takes us back to the cycle of regeneration of nature. The four tracks that make up the album are developed from an intriguing metric of the beats, which manages to stimulate and expand our perception of the hidden face of the apparent. In the second, this pre-conscious logic ends up deriving into a kind of slow motion convulsion, a deafened, veiled, latent and strangely intense spasm, through which we come to intuit that the dawn and the dusk are manifested in the object of creation. A beautiful game of mirrors, with which Miguel A. García presents before us the most essential intrinsic double opposite: Life." ^ Hide Bio for Miguel A. Garcia • Show Bio for Sebastien Branche "Sébastien plays soprano, tenor and C-melody saxophones. He got started with improvisation through workshops with musicians coming from contemporary jazz or improvised music. Interested in perceptive phenomenons, he works mainly with sound as a material, describing himself as a "sound crafter" for an audience to listen to. His interests also extends to body and space, as he regularly confronts his practice to contemporary dance. He plays in the saxophone duet Relentless, in duet with viola player Cyprien Busolini or electronics musician Miguel A. Garcia, in large orchestra with IMO, and regularly meets other artists, either for private sessions or performances.He also works on solo performances with tenor sax on a stand and light electronics (Lignes) or soprano saxophone and water (saxopH2One). He has played around Europe in various venues and festivals, for concerts, dance performances or soundwalks. Sébastien taught Mathematics in high school and also gave a workshop about soundscapes there. From April 2015, he is taking a leave to devote his time to shiatsu and to his music." ^ Hide Bio for Sebastien Branche
