The lecture will focus on my work related to mixed music. I will talk in particular about my creative process in two recent works: Low-fi Delirium and Vestigios (tele-radiodifusora nacional). In the first work, I explore the analogue sonorities of vintage instruments and effects, and their interaction with acoustic instruments. In the second, I address the theme of the Colombian armed conflict, establishing links with Colombian poetry, and exploring the notion of vestiges from a musical perspective, especially through the use of sound archives in electronics.
