Their output is primar ily focused on live concerts, letting their music be shaped by the physica lity of their playing, the acoustic and aesthetic properties of the space, and the dynamics formed between themselves and their audience. Their reco rded work relies less on their respective instruments, and more on an asse mblage of field recordings, heavily processed instrumentation, and explora tory mixing techniques. They released their debut on the Glasgow label GLA RC in 2020, and their debut LP ‘High Tide’ was released on the 1st of Nove mber 2024 through London label World of Echo.

He is member of 1000 Pounds to Survive Us and founder o f the improvisational ensemble, I.E. Us.He has performed and collaborated with Nadah El Shazly, Ayman Asfour, Goat Girl, Ryan Harvey, Tom Morello, T ashi Dorji, Kinn, Matt Cargill, Fatima Laham and Bint Mbare.

A Tropa (under the direction of Ibelisse Guardia Ferragu tti) The last two years Ibelisse has been researching the music of her bel oved Andes, in Bolivia. This music is not just ‘music’, it is part of an i ntricate ecosystem from an ancient but living culture. What we call ritual s is merely a means to enter in a collective field, where a constant dialo gue with our surroundings takes place. Sound making has a central role dur ing these communal bondings. For LOKAAL, Ibelisse -together with the membe rs of AWICHAS- are extending an OPEN CALL to anyone that is curious to lea rn about Andean tropas or Andean Orchestras. We will not only share Andean playful worldviews of sound making, but we will play lots of drums!

“Unlike a conventional orchestra, the ‘tropa’ operates under a logic of r eciprocity and complementarity, where music is not an individual spectacle , but an act of social cohesion.” Quote unknown
