Yamila Rios
Born in Granada and currently living in Brussels and Madrid, Yamila Rios is a cellist, singer and producer who graduated in Sonology from the Royal Academy in The Hague. Her music links classical composition to electronic innovation. In a literal sense, by attaching a series of sensors to her cello, and figuratively, by exploring the twilight zone between sound and music, between man and machine.
On her second album, Noor (Umor Rex Records), Yamila goes one step further and creates a kind of hybrid ancient music. Inspired by ancestral rituals in which sound served to fertilize the landscape or soothe the trembling sky, Yamila listens to the wind and returns its breath, in the guise of titanic melodies and fragile microtones. Or how man and machine together give rise to a yet to be discovered form of sonic life.
Luis Pestana
Luis Pestana is a Portuguese composer and sound artist whose work explores the relationship between technology, memory, and imagination, moving between the sacred and the profane, the digital and the organic. Author of Rosa Pano (Orange Milk Records), Pestana creates soundscapes that evoke the human within the machine, blending tradition and experimentation in a constant search for a sonic utopia - a future inhabited by memory.
