Yunclas

5 November 2018 – 30 April 2019

Adolfo Fernández (known under the pseudonym Yunclas) began his activity in fields far removed from electronic music, playing guitar in different bands within the Asturian hardcore-punk-rock scene.

Years later he discovered electronic music through techno, and after a period playing other people’s music, already under the pseudonym Yunclas, he began to produce dark and atmospheric techno.

With a punk philosophy, betting on DIY and self-management, he created a non-profit cassette and digital label (Grabaciones Autobombo) with which he has already released several albums. He has also recorded with labels inside and outside the Spanish State such as Nen Recs (Russia), Otomo (Holland), Xtraperlo Records (Madrid) or Marbre Negre (Barcelona). This latest work in Mabre Negre “Tripalium Ligatum” was composed during the residency “The Sound of Industry” (his second residency at LABoral Centro de Arte), where he moves away from techno to go down more industrial paths, working based on “field recordings” and noise generators.

From this he also carried out a project with the Sevillian dancer Ana Arenas, where they mix flamenco tap dancing, industrial noise and noise guitar. He has recorded a work called “Luddita” on the Barcelona label Zona Watusa.

Project in residence

El sonido de la industria is a project that aims to convert the great Asturian industry, the traditional heart of the economy of this land, to sonority in the form of musical pieces. Stylistically it is based on classical industrial music, power electronics, or dark ambient, with absolute freedom of experimentation in all senses.

The formation of the pieces will take into account the concrete characteristic of the factory and its sonority, using sound material collected in situ but the freedom of musical construction will prevail using any method and instrument that is within reach.

This project derives from the ‘The Sound of the Void’ project carried out at LABoral Centro de Arte that included themes based on field recordings in abandoned factories.

‘The sound of the industry’ is a project selected in the 2018 II Call for Art Residencies.
