Back in 1993, when
José Corredera (a neurofisiologist obssesed with sound waves)
and Miguel Lázaro (a telecom. and audio engineer obssesed
with brain waves) was 13 years old, they formed THE LAB, a creative
music project focused on experimenting with electronic music and
sound manipulation. Their early infuences were a mix of pioneers
like Wendy Carlos, experimentals like John Cage, or more
commercial like Jean Michel Jarre or Vangelis.
For several years they have explored the capabilities of
electronically generated sound and written numerous tracks for
companies such as Coca-Cola and Opel, as well as for radio
and television stations, videogames, or artistic performances.
In 1998 they combined their efforts with graphic designer
Bernardo Rivalvelarde to produced “Listening to Images”, better
known as “Escuchando Imagenes”. Their work was yet to become the
first electronic art project to be displayed in Spain and would then
go on to be shown in cities such as Barcelona, Mallorca, Paris and
Milan as well as be awarded prizes such as the LAUS 99 and MOBIUS
INTERNATIONAL 99.
Then THE LAB began working on their second project “HOMODIGITALIS”,
a piece which has taken them nearly three years to complete and has
seen the collaboration and support of such influential artists as
Nacho Duato, artistic director of the Spanish National Ballet.
Homodigitalis has been seen and listened in cities like Madrid,
Bilbao, Barcelona, Paris, Milan, Berlin, Mexico or Tokio.
The album edited in 2004 for Europe, with the complete music,
has been praise by the critics "...bigger words, it's almost perfect..."
(Future Music), and nominated to the Music Awards 2004 in Spain like
best album and electronic song (for “Emotions”).
In 2009,
Homodigitalis reappears in 2 new editions : The MP3 Free Edition
avaliable only in
www.thelabsound.com, and a New Remaster Edition,
avaliable in all the major digital distribution companies.
At the time,
The Lab is working in his new album "A Day in the Life Lab" which
has taken more than 7 years to developed and produced, preparing
live acts and projects, and in a new
artistic
collaboration with Graphic Designer Bernardo Rivavelarde. |
