About the residents: Automan: An experimental electronic music project. Members of Post Club, a monthly session at the mythical Siroco club, where they've performed with artists such as Plastician, Bok Bok, Lunice and renmar. Their music has been released this year by the netlabels Soulless Lab and Caballito.
Being Berber: An indie pop group created this very year by Christopher Peterson (vocals, keyboard, loops) and Blake Bishop (guitar, banjo, vocals). Their goal for their residency is to write and finish working on six songs and begin recording their first EP.
Doma & Orphidal: The duo made up of Fabio Vinuesa and Diego Monterrubio. In 2011 they created the project called Soulless Lab with the idea to create an online platform where they could release nationally work by new electronic producers, following a style based on experimentation with avant-garde sound. As of now they have released eleven works by national artists, as well as some of their own, betting on electronic-acoustic sounds far from the most conventional styles. In their residency they plan to create a fusion of electronic music and conventional acoustic instruments.
Envelope Collective: Since 2007 they have been setting the mood Sunday afternoons in Madrid with the most intimate strains in experimentation in “Evenings”. With their residency, they want to work on a compilation album with the artists that participated on that project. The collective is made up of Oliver Arson, a musician and producer known for his project The Folding and the point and, currently, Territoire; José Tena, coordinator of Evenings and a member of Ann Deveria; and Julián Martín, a musician and producer of several dub, electronic, jazz projects, working in addition with other musical styles that he currently plays in a math rock band. He is also a member of Territoire.
León Benavente: Begun in 2012 to serve as a vehicle for Luis Rodríguez and David Cobas (Abraham Boba)'s compositions, in a very different song format from from in their other projects. They are members of Nacho Vegas's band, and that is where they met and began writing together. In the months of June and July 2012, they put together a demo with five songs at a home studio, focusing more on the songs themselves than on the arrangement and the production. In August two experienced musicians joined the project: César Verdú (Swartz) and Eduardo Baos (Tachenko, Micah P.Hinson). They have both been, additionally, producers and sound engineers on many works on a national level. Dark pop is their thing.
Palo Alto: Contemporary, universal and essentially melodic and instrumental “No Roots Music”, but using the voice as another instrument. Music based on traditional and popular music, but with current means, tools and references.
