Over the course of two sessions, this collaboration will unfold its particular sensibility under the direction of Shoeg, Merche Blasco, and Nacho de la Vega, to collectively rehearse the sounds to come.
The first session will take place on Thursday, November 27, and will bring together Nacho de la Vega, co-founder of the L.E.V. platform, and artist Carlos Martorell, creator of the Shoeg project. Phantom Touch will be presented, in which Martorell investigates the intersections between body, technology, and sound, continuing a line of work that has been shown at various international festivals.
On Saturday, November 29, the second part of the series will take place, featuring Nacho de la Vega, who will share the stage with artist Merche Blasco. Blasco will present Fauna, a live improvisational performance built around instruments she created herself. These sound creatures come to life through movement, touch, and light, articulating embodied and vibrational electronic music that intertwines all the bodies present.
