About

1LL0~ is the live concert proposal they have been working on lately. This proposal combines the collaborative pieces they developed the last years, with new pieces thought exclusively for this duo project.
Last performances were related to the project PARARSE (45min drums, visuals and electronics), dealing with visuals based on cinema pure (1920's films) reinterpreted as a critic to sobre-estimulation society and accelerationism.
They have collaborated with MaF (Málaga de Festival), SOS (Sound of Silence Festival), and Krea.
They met in The Netherlands where they collaborated in a project with Peter Ablinger (Black Series) and Richard Barrett (electoracustic improvisations). After first meetings they started a long term relation working in common projects or supporting each others in individuals one.
The first piece composed was presented at Studio Loos (The Hague, 2014) based on electronic processes reacting to drums (through contact mics). Then some pieces as “Miles Aways” or “Autoengaño Nº1” came from individuals projects but with a strong influence from both of them.
Guillermo Martín-Viana (1995) is a Spanish drummer and visual artist based in The Hague (NL). Highly versatile, his musical career has taken him through stages around the world (South Korea, Italy, Netherlands, Mexico, Japan, Belgium), playing styles such us Hard Bop, Cumbia, Electroacustic Music, Jazz, Klezmer, Free, Ska or Thrash Metal.
His music is filled with a love for the instrument, an instant ability for sonic and spatial composition, and a deep and joyful groove. He is currently an online teacher at Kathmandu Jazz Conservatory.
Besides his musical achievements, Guillermo is also an active painter, graphic designer and multimedia artist. He is known from combining his music career with his visual art projects, creating performances that show both sides of him.
