Duende is a South-American-Scandinavian based Free Improvising group. Their music seeks to convey a shocking, harsh and sweet music universe, for the audience to become captive of a noise-full, textural and abstract melodic experience.

Line up: 

Miguel Angel Crozzoli
Saxophones and processed electromagnetic signal

Gon Muruaga
Prepared guitar with processed sound using DSP and DFx

Performance and Aesthetic

Duende explores the meaning of presence and space explorations. Through saxophones, guitar and electronics they shape a sound world unique to the place in intimate relation to the energy of the audience, seeking to express the emotions they feel and create by being in the same space: Duende, the audience, the stage, the city, the forest. All breathing together.

They create a sounding electronic soundscape that travels between distorted high peaks and smooth immersive sound waves. In this musical journey, they all experience the roots of their South-American tradition translated into abstraction through acoustic sounds, electromagnetic signals and sound processes.
