Founder
My name is π΅ππππΆ ππΆπΆπ π’ππΆπππΎπππΎ ππππΆπππ, I am a sound artist and engineer who works on transdisciplinary creations at the intersection of art, science, and technology. After studying Sound Design and Engineering in Montevideo and Santiago de Chile, I collaborated with sound and interaction design on many experiences including large-scale installations in America and Europe. Some highlights are the 2021 AI and Music S+T+ARTS Festival Hackathon award, the sound design of the Uruguayan Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2021 and 2018 and the Uruguayan and Chilean Pavilion at the Milan Expo 2015, I was also lead developer in the artist-run initiatives Head Brothers, Exoplanetas and Aventures Sonores. For more than a decade, I have been assembling a unique archive of soundscapes, poetry, testimonies, native South American chants, radio signals, and a selection of eclectic music to create experiences that connect people and cultures through sound.
When we manage to free ourselves from the dominance of the visual-analytical world and replace it with intuition and sensation, we begin to rediscover the true tuning of the world and the exquisite harmony of all its voices.
We will find the center. Then the whole body will become an ear and all sounds will come to you, the known and the unknown, the sweet, the sad and the urgent.
When my body lies in bed white and blue at night, all sounds come to me from their own chord, unhurried, strangely mixed, the slightly tonal and the soft creaks of the mountains.
At that moment, to hear is to be on high alertβ¦ and I hear songs in front of meβ¦ when I go beyond βto the country that loves silenceβ.
