Abo Abo
Abo Abo [Daniele Carcassi, 1993] is a sound artist, experimental performer, DJ and producer.
He has been performing and organising events since 2015, adapting to different situations, between underground, club and rave parties with agility and naturalness, offering techno, hypno, trance sounds.
As a performer and sound artist, his research is related to multichannel sound installations and the relationship between improvisation, modular synthesizer and turntables.
After a master's degree in sound design and a bachelor's degree in electronic music, he worked in the field of experimental performance and electroacoustic music, collaborating with various realities linked to research music. He has received two commissions from the Venice Biennale and now works in the educational sector, offering workshops and laboratories in electronic music.
He has presented his music in all kinds of contexts, in the form of dj sets, vinyl-only sets, sound installations and performances that have taken him to Canada, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Italy.
He is also actively involved in the new cultural realities linked to electronic music, as a resident of DE RIO and Florentino (a Florentine label) and as an events organiser.
Tania Cortes Becerra (visuals)
Ecuadorian composer and multimedia artist whose work aims to establish a solid relationship with other disciplines, through experimentation with different formats and supports.
She has been part of several group exhibitions in Europe and LatinAmerica. She has participated in La Biennale di Venezia - Biennale Musica 2022 and Biennale Musica 2023 – commissioned by Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation.
She performs on independent stages and composes for experimental projects in the fields of theater, dance, performance... As part of her personal research, she is one of the founding members of dotzerosix (DZ6), where she seeks to create multidisciplinary experiences based on the possibility of multiple transmissions and associations of sounds, visuals and spaces from different points of view. Commonly complemented with the manufacture of devices, this main exploration is supported from a glitch and minimalist perspective.
