Live | World Premiere
For her MUTEK comeback, softcoresoft presents a brand new live set with the special collaboration of Alvaro Echánove. Taking inspiration from flamenco’s rhythms (“palos”) and singing (“cante”) as a point of departure, the performance brings those influences into the electronic realm, borrowing from the language of acid, techno, house, reggaeton and baile funk.
