Bilbao is colonized. The Christmas lights give an even more dystopian look to the flood of people who have come together in the city center. Walking through the Casco Viejo and the Arenal is suffocating, except for inertia. There must be some shelter. In this colonized city you have to go to the periphery to find respiratory areas. In San Francisco Street, in the center of the periphery, it is a festive atmosphere. Many billiards and billiards with their country of distant origin welcome the victory of their country’s football team. Although it is a good option, the menacing presence of non-neighbors who have not been invited is nothing attractive. I decided to go to Larraskitu to enjoy the live performances that have been organised under an industrial building there.
Recently opened the new site of the Donations Project, which has prepared a triple event for this cold Saturday. The responsibility for opening the night has been Raditho. Menuda slap has given us that we were still warming up. He has offered the best performance I've seen him playing with the symptoms and images projected on the wall. He has explored the strata of Bilbao and brought us ghosts found. It has forged the industrial environment of our recent past and created sonic landscapes in which this city was even more gray. Sometimes it has mastered engravings, other crisp sounds that broke the ears and pierced the eardrum. It has played with heavy metals accumulated in the river and has continued with explosions that fell like bombs. Upon reaching the highest ends suddenly and silence is imposed for a second, until people begin to applaud and scream.
Just 15 minutes to breathe before the Psychographic Command starts. The project of the duo Pablo Gallo and Iago Alvite is very special. While the second improvist of symptoms, the first are drawn blindly and the generated images are projected enlarged on the wall. The reality is not in our favour, he has released that note before Gallo starts drawing. The devils and the special forms that appeared on the white pages seemed to come from another world. The couple is able to transform digital venom into radical beauty.
Finally, Fernando Carvalho has taken us throughout the history of electronic music, from the techno-house sounds of Detroit to the fields of the European Parliament. It's been a feeling of wandering on a boat, as fun as it is dangerous. Traveling without moving from this dark room of Larraskitu through the cartography of music for dance, is one of those journeys you never want to end.
