Rogelio Sosa

Rogelio Sosa's live performances and improvisations with electronic media are characterized by the rawness of the sound elements that constitute them. His presentations seek to cause a perceptual and emotional catharsis in the listener through confrontation with a highly intense sound reality.

Using very dramatic contrasts in dynamics, textures and information flux, his improvisations only use live sound sources which are constantly transformed in real time. This particular way of working tries to unify the corporal gestuality and spontaneity of the performance with the sound result.

One of the main concerns of his production is working with custom tools for each project, though the programming and development of working stations, devices and interfaces is an essential part of the creative process.

His most recent work use voice as the main sound source and aims to amalgamate two different, almost opposed, musical entities: decantations of rather hostile musics such as punk, hardcore metal or hip hop, with more abstract sound discourses such as free improvisation, noise and electroacoustic music.

.pig (punto pig)

.pig is a Mexico City based duo focused on live sound experimentation. Their work relies on blending electronic and digital media with acoustic instruments or concrete sound sources. The project aims to investigate the intrusive potential of sound by inducing the listener into a cathartic experience through complex sound material performed in live situations. Improvisation and real time audio processing are the   main creative axis of the project.
