Bio
ABOUT CARLOS CHAMPI BENAVIDES
My experience and path in music and sound have always showed a hybrid and interdisciplinary nature as they have always been touching two worlds at the same time (the popular and the academic, the musical and the sonic, the artistic and the anthropological).
From an early age I acted and sang. At the age of eleven I was playing around with a turntable and a MiniMoog. My early formation in music always had two sides which entwined: a more classical approach combined with a constant regard for popular music, as a member of musical groups, and later on as sound engineer. Also, there always existed in me a profound passion for the theatre.
As an adult the most important thing about the nature of my work has been working with materials which are a product of a compilation process whose methodological approach places them between an ethnographic and an artistic regard, as well as an inclination for live concerts and their recording.
Currently my focus is shifting towards sound installation and its possible combinations and flirtations with the art world, namely as hybrid and somewhat "social" pieces (relational in the modern art sense).
