Personal Creative Practice:
1) Design a fictional live performance and showcase it in your blog. This project should include a technical rider, promotional flyer, artist bio, and venue details. You aim to create an appealing and original performance concept, even though it won’t be executed. Conduct thorough research to attract a specific audience, demonstrating your creativity and event-planning abilities.
The way that I would perform at this point will be include a 104 hp 3u portable modular rig. This is a commonly used format for small Eurorack setups and have used it before to perform live. In this case I would include mainly VCO, Reverb and utility modules like mixers and VCA’s to create drones and atmospheres. This is an example of an empty rack of these characteristics:
This would be probably accompanied by one or two more portable devices like my Teenage Engineering OP-1 or Yamaha Seqtrak. These kinds of devices include built-in synthesisers, sampler and sequencers and will allow us to run a wide variety of sounds in a reduced space; they are also battery or usb powered which make the setup an easier task. This gear would be then connected to a mixer that would be provided by venue.
The perfect location and time frame for me to organise an event would be a quiet cafe or bar, where the audience had space to sit and lay down near the performances but also a space to chat, eat and drink. This would be an evening event, starting at 7pm and finishing at midnight, and the music policy would be ambient and experimental.

Artist Bio
Daniel is a sonic artist and experimental electronic musician based in London. He likes to play with electronic devices and experiment through different genres of music and forms of art, always trying to go a little bit further and finding new fields and techniques which are innovative. Currently focused in composing electronica and ambient pieces, he has been involved in diverse projects in sound art and sound design with different organisations from around the globe. The sound emerging from the modular synths and tape recorders he uses, brings us tracks full of immersive atmospheres and rich textures, creating an abstract world to submerge in.
