A new edition of our Ruisburo series – ambient, experimental electronic and electro-acoustic
music combined with visual arts. Today the cross-disciplinary duo Bots & Gas presenting
their unique electronic ballad as well as circuit bender Ctrl Freq and the Mexican
composer/musician Omar Medina with his sound-shaped-dramaturgy. The evening ends
with a DJ.

BOTS & GAS
Is a cross-disciplinary music and artistic duo consisting of Alexandros
Papamarkou and Mariah Blue. Their debut album, Roses Rest, is their first music
collaboration and from the start a very daring and promising one.
The record interweaves experimental pop, dance, multi-layered (choral) a capella singing,
spoken word and even an electronic ballad written by a nineteenth century ghost. They drew
inspiration by the likes of Kate Bush and Talking Heads amongst many others, living and
dead.

Currently Bots & Gas live and work in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

OMAR MEDINA
Omar Medina is a Mexican composer/producer and guitarist based in Amsterdam. He
creates experimental electronic music and sound art aimed to trigger psychoacoustic
experiences through scenic/sonic stories: sound-shaped-dramaturgy. Having a background
in Mexican folk music, free-improv, and contemporary pop music, as well as composing and
performing for theatre, and cabaret plays, Omar creates pieces in which sounds are not
attached to a particular tradition but appeal to our own imaginary. He obtained a BA in music
at the ESM in Mexico City and a MA in Live Electronics at the Conservatory of Amsterdam.
