The politics of noise. Noise as the ultimate weapon.

It is an investigation into sound creation and artistic indiscipline. In it, I trace a historical path from the origins of experimental music to the present day. At the end of the 19th century, Europe was a hotbed of social, political, economic, and cultural activity. Rapid technological advancement—growing at a geometric rate—created a need for new, non-figurative forms of art. Music was not immune to this avant-garde ferment. Musicians embraced the idea of ​​art as open-ended inquiry and exploration—while simultaneously serving as a reflection of their times and society. Consequently, the very language of music transformed, eventually reinventing itself entirely.

Sound Archives & Experimental Music

In 2009, I began developing the project and working on the cataloguing, documentation and digitisation of SONMARCHIVE, the online archive of experimental music and sound art established in Murcia by Francisco López.

The archive, both physical and digital, is currently housed at Las Naves in Valencia as part of Super·Sonic.
