Artist biography:

Guillermo Martín-Viana (Sevilla, Spain, 1995) is a drummer, developer and visual artist based in The Hague (NL) with a profound interest in improvisational games. His multifaceted artistic career has taken him through some of the most important stages in the Netherlands (Paradiso, Het Concertgebouw Kleine Zaal, Paard, Oerol, Zwarte Cross, Parkpop, Melkweg, De Ruimte) as well as through a variety of venues around Europe, Central America and Asia, presenting works ranging from contemporary jazz to performative-improvisational-videogames.

His love of sound and space unites his art, as evidenced by more than 15 recordings and multimedia productions. With his various collectives such as Songs of Rage and Impotence, Panic Screen, 1LL0~ and Common Dream, he is known for creating immersive audio-visual experiences that emphasise audience participation. His most recent multimedia works are based on the development of generative visual systems in TouchDesigner and UnrealEngine with various forms of interaction and reactivity to sensors. His interest focuses on the creation of “instruments” and interfaces that are controlled live, allowing for organic performances driven by improvisation and game-like rules. Some of these productions include the Fun Fin Orchestra (TouchDesigner, UnrealEngine, SuperCollider – 2023-ongoing, as Common Dream in collaboration with Emilio Parrilla), an educational project in the form of an interactive game-piece designed to introduce young audiences to collective musical improvisation through a live videogame/concert format; NephSye° (TouchDesigner – 2023, in collaboration with Carlos Ema), a site-specific electro-acoustic, audiovisual and live pottery performance exploring the visual and sonic possibilities of the ceramic world; the TouchyChother Ensemble (TouchDesigner, MaxMSP – 2022, as 1LL0~ in collaboration with Juanlu Montoro), a participatory online audiovisual ensemble with visuals and electronics generated live through online interaction with smartphones; PARARSE (TouchDesigner – 2021, as 1LL0~ in collaboration with Juanlu Montoro), an intervention of absolute short films with live visuals, lights, electronics and drums.

His latest project, ALMO~ (TouchDesigner, SuperCollider), focuses on simultaneous multimedia improvisation as a tool for personal expression and collective creation.

Guillermo has been teaching at Kathmandu Jazz Conservatory (Nepal) as main drum teacher and guest teacher, both online and visiting since 2020.
