Artistas de nuestro sello

Doria | Graffeo | Romano

This musical trio arises from different collective experiences: an independent record label, Ebria Records, but also previous and current musical projects together), and from a common passion for music and the arts.

Tiziano Doria:

He studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence and then in Brera. While he has studied painting he always used photography. It has a very rigid technical component, allowing him to easily break the order of things, as well as to accept it. He uses images that he finds of others and recombines them, he bends them to his wish or at least he tends to do so. Nowadays he is getting his hands on images in motion. He turns small things in 16mm that he then manipulates during printing or development. The thing he likes is to identify, through a remediation of some media, a further plot, perhaps hidden perhaps non-existent and bring it under the eyes of all.

Accursio Graffeo:

His own personal, artistic, and musical journey focuses around the research for the other-from-oneself through connection with the self in the other. Art and society seen as interconnected: ànthropos and sound perceived as possibilities and opportunities to broaden the discourse on man. He played in band as Kokoro Mayikibo, Nippon & the Symbol and Echran. He also wrote music for documentaries and workshops.

Paolo Romano:

Double bass player, he started studying classical music, then he turned into improvisation and contemporary music. In the past he also played electric bass and percussion, and has been a sound engineer too. He played in different projects: I/O, Nippon & the Symbol, Omegratre and actually in the band Lavorazioni Carne Rosse. He’s been a founder of the independent label Ebria Records.

Florencia Ruiz Ferretti

Florencia is also a singer, composer and banjo player.
She studied composition with Guillermo Pesoa (Pequeña Orquesta Reincidentes), and is currently studying with Jorge Horst.

She teaches voice classes and workshops. She is a sound therapist and Yoga instructor.

She dabbles in various folk genres, exploring timbres and sounds, sonomontage and music related to the visual arts, and is a member of the blues, jazz and gospel duo Semilla Negra.

A bit of my journey

I was born on 26 November in Rosario (Santa Fe, Argentina).

I am a singer, composer, sound artist and poet. From sound, poetics and movement, I seek to propose sensitive views on environment and society, corporeality and territory.

I teach classes, seminars and laboratories. I develop diverse proposals from listening and the body-territory link, interconnecting knowledge and experiences from the biocultural view of territories, sound art and landscaping and radio art.

I coordinate the cycle “Caminantes a la escucha. Sound expeditions to re-discover the territory”. I teach the workshop “Environmental Arts” as part of the “Diploma in Environmental Participatory Practices” at the National University of Rosario.

I have won the competitions “Activar Patrimonio – Becas de investigación en museos” of the Ministerio de Cultura de la Nación in 2023, “Beca Creación” of the Fondo Nacional de las Artes in 2021, Obras Sonoras based on “Las soledades” by Luis de Góngora of the Centro Cultural España Córdoba in 2013 among others.

I have participated in International Festivals with sound works and proposals related to listening.

I am part of the NGO Taller Ecologista and I work in the areas “Wetlands for life” and “Socio-environmental Education”, producing sound and artistic materials, carrying out workshops and proposals that intertwine corporealities and territory, and interconnecting knowledge and experiences from the biocultural view of the territories.

I am a Yoga Instructor and Sound Therapist, and Dance has always been a language that interconnects everything I do. I feel that my mission is to provide tools and proposals that help to connect mind-body-nature-spirituality, opening us to experience the inter-being that we are with all forms of life and seeking to inhabit in love and respect the Earth that is our home.

Why music?

For me music is the way to be one with the absolute, to transcend the body and thoughts to pass to another state, without limits or form that restrict me. I am one with everything: with the sound, with the audience, with the musicians with whom I share such a beautiful task, with the air that surrounds us, with the earth itself. I have the same feeling when I am in the middle of nature, floating in the river, observing the mountain or a dewdrop on a flower, and in some meditation practices.

That’s why I make music: to transcend myself.

ROBERT DA SILVA

As a child he worked alongside his father as a farm labourer on a ranch and became independent at the age of 13 when he began to work on his own in other rural establishments. The horse was a working tool that allowed him to get to know the territory in depth.
He attended the Higher School of Electronics and Electrotechnics (UTU) in Montevideo, trained as a Radio Operator at the Army Communications School (ECOME) and continued studying at the Communications Battalion No.1, until 1992.

In 2014 he completed a rural carpentry course, provided by INEFOP in Paso de los Novillos, Tacuarembó. He completed the basic cycle in 2015 with the Uruguay Estudia Project, in Curtina, achieving a mention as an outstanding student.

In 2005, after a severe injury while he was wiring wire, his work history took a turn. In 2006 he began to conduct a series of interviews on local histories and rural trades, in the Curtina area and surroundings, forming a collection of more than 70 cassette tapes. This work is part of the collection of the Oral Archive of the Centro de la Memoria, which is publicly accessible and kept in the Bishopric of Tacuarembó. He presented his results at the 4th Latin American Forum on Memory and Identity. His paper is published in the Memorias del Foro and he was subsequently commissioned to carry out a report on the last residents of the Conventillo Ansina (Montevideo) before its demolition. It was published in the weekly Acción Informativa in September 2007: Memoria y lucha del Conventillo Ansina.

In 2007 he carried out research on horse-related trades, the results of which he published in 2009 in the book “Jinetes, Domadores y Troperos” (Robert Da Silva and Ana Rodríguez, Esebé Ediciones, Tacuarembó, 186 p.). That year he presented the book at the Fiesta de la Patria Gaucha and acted in the film “La Redota” (Dir. César Charlone, 2011), as the gaucho who presents the discussion with Artigas about the inheritance of the land.
From 2009 to date, he has been giving talks at School No. 9 in Curtina on the contents of the book, which he has been expanding and updating. He collaborates with the Uruguay Trabaja Programme, giving an introduction to the local history of Curtina for groups participating in the programme. He collaborated in courses given by the anthropologist Walter Díaz, aimed at teachers:

“Oral Traditions, School and Writing in the Internet Galaxy”, Regional Programme of Tertiary Education in the Northeast Region, Tacuarembó, UDELAR Tacuarembó.

Continuing Education Course “Oral traditions, school and writing in the Internet Galaxy” University Centre of Paysandú- UDELAR – ANEP (2013).

In 2015 she participated in the 2nd. Encuentro Movimientos Populares, in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia. He was a delegate of the Pastoral de la tierra and the Movimiento por la tierra. It was Evo Morales who delivered all the documents received to Pope Francis.

He currently collaborates with the Aparcería Lazo, rienda y boleadora (San Gregorio de Polanco, Tacuarembó) doing thematic research for the competition in the Patria Gaucha and makes the presentation to the public of the representation that the Aparcería makes every year.

It participates in the project Hogar de Ancianos Rodolfo y Eduardo Sabattini, carried out with the help of neighbours from Curtina. They have legal status and agreements with the IDT. It is an ongoing project, based on the donation of a property by the Sabattini family.

He is currently the President of the Movement for Land and Against Poverty (Movimiento Por la Tierra y Contra la Pobreza).

ANA RODRÍGUEZ

Uruguayan. I was born in 1975 in Montevideo. My parents and grandparents were born in a city in the interior or in the countryside, and have emigrated to the city or to the capital. I am trying to make the reverse journey and I live in Tacuarembó. I went to public school, I studied at the public university, I am an anthropologist and I work on cultural projects, generally linked to the rural world and sound recordings. I keep one of the sound maps of my country and sometimes I work in Portugal, also in the countryside. I deeply admire people who help to heal and those who plant.

I am currently studying for a Master’s degree in Agricultural Sciences at the Faculty of Agronomy, UDELAR. For my thesis, I am investigating the different links we have in Tacuarembó with the watercourses we live next to. One of my passions is to generate stories about the invisible layers of the places we inhabit, that is, I like to talk to people older than me.

MARKOS PERALTA

I got in touch with music through the Spanish guitar and then I finished my career as a teacher of this instrument at the Conservatorio Superior de Música Astor Piazzolla in the city of Buenos Aires. I am currently focused on the field of sound art and improvisation, processing sound in real time, working solo and with other ensembles.

I’m Coming (Voy Llegando)

A site-specific work, knowing that I only had as a reference the research report of the space/auditorium El Tanque. My intention was to make that space vibrate by working with the most salient modes of the frequency spectrum. I wanted the spaces to resonate and discomfort through the field recordings of my new stage of life, oscillating between solitude and family.

Mastering: it was carried out in two stages. The first part in Pablo Bas’ studio and then in the Laboratorio de Investigación y Producción Musical del Centro Cultural Recoleta [LIPM CCR] with Gabriel Lucena as technician and the support of FMyT [Fundación Música y Tecnología].

CAMILA ALBARRACÍN

Her work encompasses instrumental, experimental and art-sound composition. She is a member of UNACOM (Unión Argentina de Compositoras) and is doing a postgraduate degree in Sound Art at UNTREF. She has participated in musical and cultural projects within the Centro Cultural Kirchner, Muntref, Tecnópolis, Centro de Arte Sonoro, MUTEK Argentina.

During his artistic career he has composed mixed works, electronic, music for video games, music for theatre plays, string quartet, orchestral, for violin and piano, for clarinet and tape, acousmatic, for percussion set, arrangements for cello, chamber orchestra, arrangements for guitar trio and saxophone/flute, among others.

ABEDUL

A sonic musical work that captivates the listener with its evocative and hypnotic blend of sounds and textures. Combining elements of electronic and ambient music, Birch creates an immersive, emotionally resonant soundscape that invites reflection and contemplation. The work can be perceived as a representation of the connection between past, present and future. The use of nature sounds in the work evokes a sense of history and tradition, reminding us that nature has been present since time immemorial. These sounds connect us to the past and remind us of the importance of maintaining a link with nature in an increasingly technological and artificial world. The mixture of electronic and organic elements reflects the fusion of past and present, creating a new art form that incorporates elements of both. The work is a demonstration of the potential of technology to collaborate with nature, rather than replace it.

GABRIELA SPINELLI

After some small and intuitive recordings made during some trips and motivated by the reading of the novel “Desierto Sonoro”, whose protagonists are sound documentarists, I started an approach to art from sound, its capture, recording, processing and manipulation, and in that search I found the sound art workshop taught by the artist Pablo Bas, where I have been taking classes for two years.

A Trilogy (Una Trilogía)

This piece is based on the need to explore the abstract as a way of resisting the useful and the productive. It is part of some of the exercises carried out in the sound art workshop and was made from the recording and processing of sounds from household objects that were intertwined with the idea of constructing textures and a narrative that recreates the everyday environment from a poetic perspective.

He has been part of the Taller de Grabaciones de Campo and Mapa Sonoro and is currently attending the Taller de Arte Sonoro, both coordinated by Pablo Bas.

Mr. President

Experimental piece in which some organic sounds are added to the treatment and processing of the human voice.

He is also a researcher focusing on the intersections of Art, Technology, Science, Nature, and Space. stellatum_ delves into spatiotemporal displacement through sounds and images. His sonic compositions navigate between electroacoustic and ambient music, blending natural soundscapes with synthesized drones.

Since 2020, he has been a member of BSBLOrk (Brasília Laptop Orchestra), working with biophonic samples and digital synthesizers.

Clusters 03_03_0

It is the result of a creative exercise proposed by Pablo Bas, in the year 2021, in which the idea was to work with agglomerated musical notes to propose sound textures. The rhythmic variations provide a sense of movement, while the drone in the background, in contrast with the foreground textures, add spatio-temporal density to the theme. It is a track to listen to with headphones.

This Must Be the Place (ÉSTE DEBE SER EL LUGAR)

Poem that was written some years ago for the Mexican magazine Pinche Vida, but that always asked for another form. During pandemic, I wanted to revisit some of my texts, but from a sound art perspective, and that’s how I met Pablo. We began a path of exploration based on sound walks and how these poems are part of the stories of Panama City. This must be the place is a text that flies over a destroyed territory, in the middle of a metaphorical combat. Where bodies walk without knowing that memory bleeds. It is part of a series of four sound poems inserted in the sound walk with the same name, which connects the bodies of the walkers with sonic meditations and the sound poems. Their cacophonous repetitions accompany the body and speak to it. The poem belongs to the stop at the Antigua Estación de Ferrocarril de Panamá, currently the Museo Antropológico Reina Torres de Arauz, which is perpetually “under construction”.


— Éste Debe Ser el Lugar —

Los recuerdos son partículas de mundos destruidos. Espacios erosionados en el tiempo; habitantes equívocos, sinsentido. Enfermizos. Sobrevuelan la pesadumbre.

Cuando aterrizan, esparcen los ridículos dolores y sus formas. Relieves quebradizos, colores inentendibles, nombres afilados. Sus silenciosas cicatrices. Si uno pudiera hacer un inventario de todas las heridas, necesitaríamos el honguito 1UP de los video juegos. Tendríamos que inventar artificios para laceraciones invisibles, pócimas para la lobotomía auto-infligida.

El viaje en ferri fue apenas una sutura. Quizá inventé que ese día la luna se elevaba desde el puerto y que su luz se enredaba con la fluorescencia de la sangre bajo tus uñas. Esa luz que salía de ti tenía un origen, era la herida pulsante de un desastre. Temblar y recordar. Te juré convertirme en terrorista, en deshacer el mundo en tu nombre. Éramos ilusos, soñábamos salir ilesos del combate.

Nuestro tiempo se construyó a partir de esos escombros; partículas que gravitan sobre nuestro rastro. El recuerdo debe ser el lugar donde se cauterizan las heridas, donde logramos imaginarnos libres, como en una fábula…
Obvio. Sorry, dear, it takes one to know one!
Only one.

SERENDIPIA

Electroacoustic work made from cello recordings. It was composed from simple sounds, consisting of plucked, fretted and plucked strings, bow strokes and percussions on the instrument, later manipulated and processed. The result is a soundscape that awakens the imagination from the listening experience.

SHAUN ROBERT

Shaun Robert from an early age has been working with sound as a natural extension of play. Like most, he began with a home tape recorder, with his finger on the play, stop and pause button, editing, rewinding, rewinding to make comping transitions, establishing deep relationships with that aesthetic in the whole of this interaction that shows up in all his work.

Cross-talk and frequency drift strike a chord with him. The intensive use of cassette tape in the structure and creation of his own compilations became his own works. And in connection with loops and raw editing and frequency losses, thus creating a sonic organic.

Shaun Robert is director and founder of the Institute For Alien Research label, whose main production is compilations, either thematic or serial, of which the “4’33 “Musique Concrète Series” is the most prolific, reaching its 145th edition, starting in 2013 and not strictly about silence and not specifically about Musique Concrète. Each volume comprises 15 works.

José Iges Lebrancon

He began to create with electroacoustic media at the ALEA Laboratory in Madrid and later at the University of Pau (France) between 1977 and 1978. Between 1977 and 1979 he attended the courses in Techniques and Analysis of Contemporary Music given by Luis de Pablo at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Madrid.

Between 1979 and 1982 he was a member of the Seminario de Arte e Informática (SAGAF-M) of the Centro de Cálculo de la Universidad de Madrid, and between 1979 and 1984 of the Colectivo ELENFANTE. As a composer and instrumentalist of live electronics, he collaborated with various groups and soloists and, from 1984 to 2000, with the singer Esperanza Abad.

In 1989 he began his collaboration with the artist Concha Jerez, jointly creating sound and visual spaces, performances, radio works, intermedia concerts, videos and photomontages.

Fundamental axes of his artistic and compositional work are the interaction of conventional instruments with recorded sounds and/or live electronics, or his personal use of stage and radio language in areas such as performance, installation or video. All of this implies a transversality of approaches and practices that in many cases are framed within the so-called sound art.

From 1985 to 2008, he directed the programme “Ars Sonora” on the current Radio Clásica (RNE), which focuses on sound art and, in particular, radiophonic art. He has produced more than 80 works of these genres, having received, among others, the “Prix Italia de Radio” in 1991, with L’Escalier des Aveugles, by Luc Ferrari, the 2nd Prize in the “Prix Radio Brno 1988” with his piece Palmeros and the Förderpreis of the Karl-Sczuka-Preis 2005 with Call me yesterday, by Antje Vowinckel. He has also been producer of the CDs Broaden/in/Gates (1992) and Ríos Invisibles (1994), and director of events and meetings such as Ciudades Invisibles (Madrid, 1992) and Radio Horizontal (Madrid, 1995). He has been a member of the Forum “Ars Acústica” of the EBU (European Broadcasting Union), of which he was coordinator between 1999 and 2005. He has been president of the AMEE (Electroacoustic Music Association of Spain).
