Miguel A. García

Miguel A. García

Miguel A. García, also known as Xedh, was an artist resident in Bilbao who worked on experimental music and sound art. Trained in Fine Arts, he worked on electroacoustic composition and improvisation, using sources obtained from the manipulation of electrical devices, sometimes mixing these with sounds of acoustic instruments and field recordings.

Both solo and in different groups, he performed extensively in Europe, America and Asia. He collaborated with many artists, both in studio and live, such as, among others: Alfredo Costa Monteiro, Ilia Belorukov, Francisco López, Francisco Meirino, Seijiro Murayama or Jean-Luc Guionnet. His works appeared in more than a hundred albums with such labels as Bestiarie, Crónica, Cyclic Law, In Solace Publishing, Intonema, Malignant, Mikroton, Moving Furniture, Pure Reactive, Sentient Ruin, or Slaughter Recs.

He also worked as event organizer and curator, and was the founder of Le Larraskito Club (Bilbao), the director of the Zarata Fest (a strange/unusual music festival) and part of the organisation of the Hotsetan cycle in Azkuna Zentroa (Bilbao), all of them platforms for the dissemination of different, odd and risky music and related disciplines.
