Burbuja

After performing with groups such as Plexus & Las Perras del Infierno, Merche Blasco formed Burbuja as a vehicle for her own musical exploration. Since its conception 2 years ago she has participated & collaborated with various artists, establishing a strong relationship between different mediums of artistic expression & her own musical direction. She has composed music to accompany the sculptures of Lucy Orta at the Venice biennale & soundtracks for videos & installations by the artists of FABRICA.

Cristian Vogel (for whom Burbuja had previously contributed vocals to the track ?Monkey Inc.? from the album ?Station 55?-novamute 2005) meticulously edited the field recordings that Burbuja collected during 2 years living in different European cities. Further tracking & vocal takes were then recorded at the Station 55 studio, creating an intimate debut of found sound & haunting melodies. The 13 songs offer a glimpse into a fragile & introspective artistic microcosm where everyday activities such as cooking, riding a bike or eating breakfast serve as sound sources & lyrical themes. Burbuja's whispery voice is accompanied by an ensemble made up of ticking clocks, scissors, an egg whisk, distant thunder, & like the original musique concrete masterpieces, the sounds are left to exude their inherent, natural beauty, within a song format. Burbuja invites the listener to tip-toe through her delicate & deeply personal mix of realism & fantasy.
