Música electrónica, silicio y ruido

Hotsetan, experimental music and sound art programme

Amsia is one of those unknown figures representing Basque music (experimental) which appeared and disappeared some time back. A solitary totally electronic figure, his work today is based on MIDI orchestrations in conjunction with synthesised sounds, vinyls and sampler bookshops forming an unpredictable chaotic sound collage, i.e. music with disturbing dramatic tones immersing us in a disorderly sound imaginarium of extraordinary beauty. Electronic music, silicon and noise is the name of this theoretical-practical workshop where DJ Amsia proposes a short journey through the invented history of electronic music with the synthesiser as the protagonist, going over its origins, the first sound machines, their electronic components, inventors, pioneers and artists from a funmusical perspective.

AMSIA. Multidiscipline sound artist, musician, “noise maker” and performer. He’s worked in festivals like: ERTZ, Confluencias, Mostra Sonora, Visual Convent Sant Agusti, Sonar, MAEM, Zemos 98, Festival Aparte, Mem, MACBA and Fame05; in addition to companies like: La Fura dels Baus, Antonio Simón and Porcópolis. He’s published several musical works released with Corsal Desastre and Artoartian. He combines sound creation with teaching at the CTL Image & Sound Education School in Pamplona.
