!NERTIA

Sonic arts

Is a sonic artist who pushes the boundaries of sound. His work explores the motion of sound through an instinctive way of working; he makes field recordings and then he extracts movement out of natural sounds, afterwards, he combines this sounds into live electronics through the journey of inertia, creating a smooth and organic blend, fusing two different worlds into one. This unique approach results into emotional and hypnotic art works, which mutate into performances to experience his narrative sound in diverse multi sensorial ways. His live electronic performances have different shapes like art exhibitions and sound installations. !nertia often collaborates with other artist from different disciplines like Graphic Designers, Fine Artists, Tattoo Artist, Musicians and Composers.

JHON SPARK

DJ/Producer

hon Christian Cardenas was born and raised in a very modest family in Cali, Colombia. Thanks to his uncle from the Netherlands he got in touch with the electronic sounds at a very young age. From that time on his love for the music began and his dream to become a DJ/Producer started to grow. At the age of 17 he packed his bags, left Colombia and moved to Amsterdam. It didn’t took him a long time to make his dream come true. He started in a small studio of a friend in Amsterdam. He played a little, mixed a little and finally he accomplished a spark and made a sound to bring up the heat. First he showed his friends, in that same little studio, that he didn’t need much to let them feel his love for producing music. After that, he participates in a few DJ-contests. Here, he realised that being on stage and see how the crowed was touch by his sounds, gave him the ultimate feeling of happiness. He was so enthusiastic about music and especially making music that he signed up for the SAE electronic music production (EMP) and after that he studied Audio Engineering & Sound Design.

KAPTURE

Live A/V

An electronic performance created by two Amsterdam based artists both finding their surroundings as an infinite source of inspiration. By manipulating audio recordings and images, which they have collected during field trips, they create a fading line between reality and the imaginary. Resulting in an psychedelic dance experience where the audience is taken from their comfort zone into unknown territory.
Everything started with a brainstorm between Music Technologist Enricko van Dijken en Christian Cardenas. They both are fascinated with everyday sounds from their surroundings and live electronics. They decided to create a project in which they can express themself and use field recordings and electronics as main tools.
The result of this project is an electronic live performance which is extremely suitable for collaboration with other artists (visual artists/musicians). And also very flexible in different settings. This causes a pleasing shift in the project’s format while they retain their signature “Kapture” sound.
