Rampa Lab is home of electroverse, which means that we love working on any kind of project that reviews, reinterprets and renews the bond between music and poetry, by using electronic music instruments and digital tools. Similarly, we enjoy incorporating our knowledge on the field of ecoacoustics and soundscape, so that our projects are non-anthropocentric and more conscious and sustainable. Some of these projects are one-time performances, while others can be booked as live shows that adapt to suit your programs.

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).
