Merche Blasco formed Burbuja as a vehicle for her own musical exploration. Since its conception she has composed music to accompany the sculptures of Lucy Orta at the Venice biennale, collaborated with Chick's on Speed and composed soundtracks for videos & installations by the artists of FABRICA (Italy) and HANGAR (Barcelona) establishing a strong relationship between different mediums and her own musical direction. Burbuja's performances have been presented in SONAR, MAPPING Festival and Sonic Circuits in Washington. For the last year Burbuja has been enormously enriched by the musician Maitane Beaumont and, for this performance, they will present a special project together.
