About

Julian Bonequi (December 27, 1974 ). One of the most active mexican musicians of the european international scene, as well as curator of Audition Records Berlin, an innovative mobile platform and documentary archive promoting the most exciting experimental and noise music around the world.

Bonequi works with multi-genre free improvisation and noise  since 1995.  His work as soloist can be considered explosive, cathartic and brutal, and focuses his musical research on emotional instability, semantic landscapes and cathartic explosions and even alienated as an act of concentration. “A kind of mysticism, fed by self-induced alienation

His set? A “hand-cut” amplified drums  of 11 and 12 inches, plus a mixer and his voice.
