Presentense

Hotsetan. Experimental music and sound art programme

Sound artist Mikel R. Nieto presents the public premiere of Presentense, a study on the “presets” of a drum machine as part of his project ioio. Presentense is an installation format with a convenient listening situation so you go in and out during the approx. 13 hours of the piece. Starting with 64 classic rhythmic patterns this sound installation turns them into environmental music. Each rhythm slowly evolves towards its fade out, to finally convert them into a light environmental sound mass. ioio is a generative music project based on a digital "no input mixing board" known thanks to the works of Toshimaru Nakamura at the end of the 90s and described as “machine music for machines”. Mikel R. Nieto started working in a digital environment thanks to this very “no input” system in 2004 and in 2015 he released his first album Early Works" (2004 -2009). In that same year he created the Computer Music Studies project with artist Blanca Rego.
