Ivó Valdivielso is a musician and sound researcher based in Barcelona with projects in the fields of alternative rock, kosmische and experimental music. His style is influenced by the geometric patterns of krautrock, the hypnotism of Jamaican dub, and the abstraction of ambient music. His works revolve around social concepts and are linked to local culture. Synthesizers, samplers and electroacoustic gear make up Ivo's sonic palette. Solid background documentation and preliminary field recordings are key elements in his creative process. Ivo’s main projects are Can Ràbia (catchy melodies and krautrock beats), Les Eines (experimental soundscapes and vintage electronics) and Refugi de Fauna Salvatge (live coding and improvisation).
