10th AVLAB meeting at Medialab Prado. Coordinated by Daniel González

That Crooner from Nowhere is a project of the self-taught musician Al Da Tosta. The proposal is based on the vocal sampling technique heavily inspired by the latest beatbox and influenced by artists like Kid Beyond, Kila Kela, Dokaka, Mike Patton or Bjork.

Ginferno was created in Madrid in 1997 as a live improvisation group with instrumental surf, low-fi rock and garage influences. In 2001, the group set up a recording studio (Estudios Sónica) which became its operating base.

At the upcoming edition of Encuentros AVLAB in 2007, Ginferno will talk to us about their creative process using new and old technologies and will perform live accompanied by an experimental video made by Kim and some of the group's other regular collaborators. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=...
