Tinto’ is a photography exhibition by Ana Tejedor denouncing the human impact on this river in Huelva. For the sound space, we composed a piece evoking underwater communication between the extremophile creatures that live in this habitat. We recorded aquatic soundscapes (fountains, riverside forest, wetlands), and with a hydrophone sampled a series of rhythms in a variety of metal pots. Then, we manipulated and edited the sounds to turn them into electronic instruments, and imitated the patterns of non-human languages. Commissioned by CC Golferichs, Barcelona: June 2024.
“LLIM” is a fiction thriller, for which Jaume Reus composed and produced the original soundtrack. The commission was to create a sound space from soundscape recordings of wetlands, the main setting of the series. We recorded the soundscapes on fields and later manipulated them at Rampa Studios. Produced by Bastera Films, for IB3, TV3 and PuntTv: 2023.
Our collection of soundscapes recorded at the Albufera Natural Park in Mallorca interacts with techno rhythms and with Clara Fiol’s voice, in this contemporary dance piece by Mariona Jaume and Maya Triay, generating a kaleidoscopic ecosystem.
Rampa Lab composes and produces the tunes for this podcast that brings poetry to the streets of Glasgow, and reflects on the role of poetry within society. Directed by poet Annie Muir, and produced by Creative Scotland (2021/22).
At Rampa Lab, we compose and produce soundtracks for film, documentaries, theatre and performance, always working close with their authors, as well as jingles that are conceptually significant for radio shows and art festivals. We also collaborate with visual and digital artists, architects or designers, creating custom sound for their works and sound spaces for their exhibitions.
Commissioned by the Maritime Museum of Mallorca, we reinterpreted the logbook of the first circumnavigation of the island in a traditional boat. Starting with recordings of the elements in a traditional boat, coastal and cave soundscapes, we composed and sampled a library of rhythms and textures to build seven songs updating the 1899 voyage through music and poetry. Première and album release: July 2024.
Commissioned by the Museum of the Shoe Industry (Inca, Mallorca), we recorded manual and mechanical processes at a shoe factory. Co-produced with the Teatre Principal, in collaboration with Lottusse. Inca, 2023. Premiere: Inca, 2023.

“LOOPERA” is a live show mixing lyrical opera singers with electronic sonorities and rhythms. The show closes the opera season and advances the programming of the next. Production: Teatre Principal de Palma. Premiere: 2020. Other shows: June 2023.
During the artist residency Illes d’Art in Menorca [Far Cultural, 2016], we composed, recorded and produced a live show based on the myth of the lost city of Atlantis (known as Parella, in the Balearic Islands) and B. Krause’s theory of The Great Animal Orchestra. We recorded and sampled non-human animal sounds, assigned a role and an “instrument” to each of them –as if in a human orchestra–, and retold the legend in a poem-song. The live show including visual art by Equipo Mârtir premièred at the Auditorium of Alcúdia (Mallorca), on December 2017. The project was also exhibited with a sound installation and appeared in the catalogue for Illes d’Art 2016-2021 (Casal Solleric).
At Rampa Lab we enjoy using electronic music instruments, digital tools, field recordings and poetry to review, reinterpret and renew any kind of knowledge or artworks. Our creative process draws from ecoacoustics, improvisation and interaction to achieve live electroverse performances that walk away from antropocene and capitalism, and are more aware and sustainable. Some of these projects are one-time, site-specific live performances, others can be booked as live shows which we adapt to suit your programs.
