About
Nico
Daleman is a Colombian-born sound artist and musicologist based in Berlin. His
pieces explore sonic spatial perception, psychoacoustics, dynamic systems and
stochastic processes in order to (re)create, re(interpret) and (re)(imagine)
real and virtual spaces.
His research investigates new modes of performing and
perceiving, hereby deliberately creating coexisting soundscapes and feedback
loops that blur the lines between sound and space, and spectator and performer.
His pieces have been shown in Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Schwartzsche
Villa, CLB at Aufbau Haus, SoundSAbout, and Muffathalle in Munich, and he has taken part in
performances at Soy&Synth UferStudios
2022, Soundance Berlin 2021, Zentrum für Kunst und Medien in Karlsruhe
(ZKM), Silent Green Berlin, Darmstadt 2018, ACUD MACHT NEU and Loophole.
He is
the host of "The Rest is Music", a monthly show on cashmere radio that explores practices of contemporary
and experimental electronic music on the periphery of the canon.
He received a grant from the
department of culture of the City of Berlin in 2021 for his research project
Data Empathy.
Nico studied Audio Engineering, Musicology and
Sound Studies & Sonic Arts in Bogotá, Boston and Berlin.
The project Connie Mandale y la Cumbia Universal makes use of Artificial
Intelligence and Machine Learning as means to explore connections between the
Pan-American traditions of Cumbia and the new languages of experimental
electronic music, finding associations between their migrant musical
characteristics and their cultural global contexts.
