This year, LABoral Centro de Arte will host the presentation of Membrana sonora, a project by Lofácil developed in one of our artistic residencies, which imagines soundscapes on the borderline between pop songs and experimental electronic atmospheres.

María Barrena and Carlos de Arquer explore in their songs the tension between the feelings of uprooting and return with which they respectively face the opportunity to return to Asturias and exist within the territory that has always been part of their existence, their refuge.

Lofácil develops this electronic pop project as a generative tool of electronic production thanks to which they record and incorporate the acoustic coordinates of places relevant to their project and territory. Membrana sonora allows them to convert this information into elements of musical production, into the atmospheres in which their pop songs and concerts can inhabit, into performative encounters of simultaneous translation between architecture, territory and song.

This autumn they will release their first album, ‘Umbrales’, a collection of songs dedicated to pain and hope, written and produced during the last three years in which they explored and shared their staging independently all over the peninsula.
