Sevilla Joven (Ayuntamiento de Sevilla) collaborates.

The idea of this Jam Session is to play electronic music as Jazz musicians do. An environment of musical creation in real time using Ableton Live's Link tool. A Jam Session of electronic instruments and synthesizers in which musicians and artists can interact without limitations.

On the other side of the ring, a colossal gathering of illustrators for the occasion, led by Txiki López. The event is co-organized with Diseñadero and Proaudio, Escuela de Música Electrónica, with the collaboration of La Escuela de Arte de Sevilla with the participation of students Leticia Domínguez and Sara Barazal.

Irene Mala's work is characterized by approaching the deepest feelings of the human being through her particular look: sometimes popular, sometimes apparently harmless. In her paintings we find a thematic development that speaks of loneliness, of the adversity that surrounds us and nourishes us, and of the inconsistency of our emotions. Faced with these themes, an expression of human fragility and extravagance, Mala responds with a detailed form, expressed by a harmony of lustrous colors. Her painting refers to the tradition of illustration with a look where she manifests the fixation for the grotesque and ridiculous of the human being, and to which she gives form with a technique where affection and empathy emerge. In this sense, in Irene Mala's pictorial poetics there is a clash between the themes developed and the pictorial technique.

On the side of content, in her works the artist delves into emotional entrails, throwing herself into personal passions, discomfort with the world and dissatisfaction with what is expected of each one of us. On the side of form, her technique is sharp, seeking harmony in graceful forms by which she is able to communicate in a universal way those cracks and bitterness.

Ableton Live + Sintetizadores.
Lospiestorcidos is the project of Jorge Navas, Sevillian musician and producer of electronic music. Navas gives free rein to his restless creative curiosity of intimate sonorities, starting from experimental minimalism to sew with precision suggestive ambient textures and angular organic rhythms, in which he leaves the tasteful aftertaste that always mark his footprints. The sensitive soundscapes of his pieces evoke both the electronic music of Christian Löffler, James Holden, Max Cooper or Kiasmos, sprinkled with pop reminiscences, and the hazy visual rotundity of the works of Joseph Mallord William Turner or Mark Rothko.

Lospiestorcidos externalizes with their music a firm discourse on creativity from diversity, fleeing from empty condescension, with a strict interest in visualizing a collective that is daily exposed to walls to tear down in the brave conquest of spaces of dignity.
