Durán Vázquez's Page

I was born in Vigo (Galicia, Spain) on 1979. I started recording my work at the beginning of 1998, using self-taught methods and without prior musical formation. In 2003 was released my first work, Pigua, Megapigua, published by Crónica Electrónica record label (Portugal).

I composed music for the shortfilm Paranoias from the Galicia Cinema School on 2003. I made, collaborating with Sumugan Sivanesan, the video Goebbels Pupils published by Crónica Electrónica and selected for contest by the 15º International Electronic Art Festival VIDEOBRASIL (Sao Paulo, 2005). I was between the selected ones of the first radio art contest En el Aire, of the Hablar en Arte association (Madrid, 2005). In 2006 I returned to appear between the five selected of this contest with the piece Chernobil, mon amour! I was also between the artists selected by Hablar en Arte association for the In Sonora III and In Sonora IV soundart show (Madrid 2007 and 2008). My piece Terror Film for Radio was broadcasted by the portuguese Rádio Zero as part of the biennial radio art festival RadiaLx 2008, in Lisbon. My videoart piece called Physikos, Aphysikos has been exhibited by Art Tech Media (Puerto de la Cruz of Tenerife 2008).
I collaborated with Escoitar.org collective in the context of Proxecto Edición 2008. Also I am collaborating with project Experimentaclub+LIMb0, which build a bridge between experimental artists from South America, Spain and Portugal.
Currently producing the fortnightly radio program Radio Mil Colinas for the Rádio Zero. You can download the podcast here.
