GUSTAVO OBLIGADO uses saxophone along with a real-time sampler/sequencer that includes both live recordings and samples of the instrument itself, as well as effect pedals, extended techniques, and preparations. This combination allows me to expand the sonic possibilities of the saxophone and create atmospheric compositions where the instrument merges with electronic textures. The sonic landscapes explored in these compositions are titled "phenomenas," as they are ephemeral manifestations aimed at capturing the complexity of the wind

Agua Dulce is the project of LAURA ROBLES and ALE HOP, who grew up houses apart in Lima, Peru, without ever meeting each other. Together, their work is a radical deconstruction of the traditional rhythms of the Peruvian coast, with a focus on the cajón, a Peruvian box drum that enslaved peoples made from fruit boxes when Spanish colonizers banned the more familiar foot drum in the 19th century. Robles uses a processed electric cajón to beat out rhythms from dances like Landó, Lamento, and Zamacueca, while Cárdenas fractures the sounds with abstract electronics, splintering the tracks into noisy markers, both harsh and sweet, as the city of Lima.
