El Cóndor & El Huemul es un dúo chileno de música iberoamericana experimental nacido en Santiago de Chile el año 2013, compuesto por Sebastián Sampieri (Los Embajadores, Sampieri) y Marisol Barrios (MSM). Recientemente lanzaron su primer álbum homónimo, El Cóndor & El Huemul, Volumen I, mezclado y producido por ambos integrantes. En su trabajo musical, se dan cita diversos géneros de la música iberoamericana, world music, bandas sonoras, elementos de la música electrónica, así como referencias a la música experimental y de vanguardia.

Su propuesta, que intenta ser conceptual y arriesgada (y a la vez fresca y accesible), apuesta a letras contestatarias y críticas, en base a la exploración de ritmos, melodías y progresiones armónicas reconocibles de la música popular iberoamericana, realzados con reverbs, guitarras procesadas, ruidos, samples, sonidos electrónicos y texturas sucias.

Habiendo además realizado desde el 2013 a la fecha una gran cantidad de presentaciones en vivo, tanto en formato acústico como electrónico, en diversos pubs, centros culturales, declamaciones, eventos de colectivos artísticos, lanzamientos de libros y compartiendo escenario con otros artistas, El Cóndor & El Huemul colaboró en febrero de 2017 con la banda sonora del ensayo documental “Hablaré de la patria”, co-dirigido por Rosario González (Al Unísono) basado en el ensayo “El fantasma Pinochet”, del poeta Armando Uribe, cuyo estreno se espera para 2018, año en que la banda además lanzará su segundo trabajo, Volumen II, el que ya ha anunciado para el primer semestre.

El Cóndor & El Huemul is a Chilean duo of experimental Ibero American music in Santiago de Chile formed in 2013 by Sebastián Sampieri and Marisol Barrios. They’ve recently released their first self-titled album El Cóndor & El Huemul, Volumen I produced by both project members. Their music work explores Latin and Ibero American music, world music, soundtracks, electronic pop music, as well as references to experimental and avant-garde music.  Their proposal, both conceptual and risky –and at the same time fresh and accessible– features anti-establishment and critical lyrics mixed with rhythms, melodies and recognizable harmonic progressions of Ibero American popular music, enhanced with reverbs, processed guitars, loud voices, noise, samples, electronic sounds and dirty textures. 

The duo has profusely performed live from 2013 to date in both acoustic and electronic formats in local pubs, culture centers, declamations, artistic collective events, book launches and sharing stage with other artists. In February 2017, El Cóndor & El Huemul composed a soundtrack for local essay-documentary "Hablaré de la patria", co-directed by Rosario González (Al Unísono) based on essay “El fantasma Pinochet” by poet Armando Uribe, expected for 2018. Their second release, Volumen II, is also expected for 2018, during the first semester of the year.

Plaster is the electronic music project founded in Rome by Giuseppe Carlini and Gianclaudio Hashem Moniri (Early 2008).

The two young boys where deeply passioned about music production and since their first studio sessions, the sounds of their experiments where really promising and mature. They started to play in most of the experimental festivals in Rome and their performances were clearly dark and solid with a state of the art for mixing Ambient Music, deep beats and sharp metallic sounds.

In 2010, Giuseppe and Gianclaudio moved to Berlin in order to expand their music experiences and In 2011 they started to collaborate with the pioneering Ukrainian label, Kvitnu. 
Founded by Dmytro Fedorenko and Zavoloka, Kvitnu has released most of Plaster's seminal works. After having a wider exposure in Europe (and not only) trough their fresh releases, in 2012 they begin to release music with labels like Stroboscopic Artefacts and Touchin'Bass bringing Plaster's sound to a more Techno direction while preserving their experimental approach.
The renovated sound, pushed the duo to play in important festivals and clubs all over the world and concurrently to enlarge their music to Dance Shows, 3D Structural Mappings, Video Games and Short Films. There have been memorable performances in Taiwan for On Site Festival (2013), at The Rural Festival in Japan (2014) or at the historical Arma 17 in Moscow (2013). 

In 2014 Giuseppe decided to leave the project for a personal break and Gianclaudio took over the work.
The first "solo" release by Plaster is Mainframe (Kvitnu 2015) which along with Platforms (Kvitnu 2011) is considered one of the most influential Italians electronic music albums of the last years.

Over the time, the sound of Plaster has become more mature thanks also to collaboration releases like Blends (Eklero 2021) a huge project which sees Gianclaudio collaborating with International and Italian artists like, Grischa Lichtenberger, Retina.it, Cluster Lizard, Brando Lupi, Pixfoil and many other great artists. Gianclaudio's activities are also related to event managing, in fact he worked as art director for the first two years of life of Klang Rome, probably the only club in Italy dedicated to the experimental music.

Now, Gianclaudio's work is focused on a new live performance developed with long time friend and experimental artist Franz Rosati. Nevertheless the new album for Plaster is under construction and will be released by Textvra Records.
