Trained as an engineer, Merche Blasco developed in parallel to her studies a more creative path related with music, video and installation. After performing with different bands she created her alter ego Burbuja as a vehicle for her own musical exploration. Since it’s conception 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 sculptures from the artist Lucy Orta at the Venice biennale & soundtracks for videos & installations by the artists of FABRICA in Italy and HANGAR in Barcelona, among others. She has also collaborated several times with Chicks on Speed.
Her debut, “burbuja” (station55 records) produced by Cristian Vogel, was presented in Sonar 2007, the Advanced Music festival in Barcelona, and has been touring in different cities in Europe, USA and Canada in the past years: Mapping Festival (Geneve), Sonic Art Circuits (Washington), Queens Museum of Art (New York)…
She is currently a MPS Candidate, Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) where she is mainly focusing on Interactive Design for exhibitions and new tools for Electronic Music Performance
