About

’m a Spanish multi-instrumentalist based in Zurich, I have started very early my musical journey. I’m trained jazz bass and double bass player; I play also guitar, piano and drums. Swimmer against stream; my approach to electronic music is strongly influenced by acoustic instruments and improvised forms of music.

I have also worked for theatre companies as composer and performer, and played in every sort of band going from hard rock groups to jazz big bands but also flamenco ensembles. Constantly attempting to break the boundaries between jazz and electronic music, I have never liked rules, and was never interested in guidelines and belonging to a single musical style.

I play hardware/software/instrumental live acts focussed on improvisation and live performance and inpulsive structures.

As Clarabella Olssen I produce music based on field recordings and not arranged live takes.

I have released music on Multi Vitamins, Doma Musique, Miniatura, Bleepsequence HorsePlay, and Stereo-Type (as Clarabella Olssen). I’m part of the forward thinking artist collective Unoiki, based in Berlin, and collaborate with Pluie/Noir.

I am curator of my own music platform Wondermachine, which is dedicated to interactions between electronic and improvised forms of music, with a special attention to risky projects.
