DJ Migma
CAMP scholarship

DJ Migma (Miguel Masllorens) is a DJ and sound artist. His work focuses on experimentation with turntables and vinyl records, with proposals that combine elements and resources of appropriationism, improvisation, noise, performance and accusmatic.

ARTIST STATEMENT

“The approach to turntables and vinyl records, from the conception of sound instruments, implies working in an archeology of the media due to the express documentary and archival nature of this type of medium. Artistically articulated and deepening the exploration of its possibilities, these anachronistic devices and found objects –with their range of possibilities within the spectrum of sound– become powerful poetic triggers that challenge the present and collective memory through multiple resignifications of our auditory culture.”

ABOUT THE SCHOLARSHIP

DJ Migma received in 2021 a grant from CAMP in association with Fundación´ace to take the online course Sound, Language & Position, taught by Antye Greie (AGF). In the words of DJ Migma: “the course was very productive insofar as its continuous reflection on the possible activist aspects and political discourses related to artistic creation within the complex scenarios that we are currently going through in the world. At the same time, it allowed me develop an exercise and collaborative work with the participants (artists and researchers from remote places), which would have been practically impossible if the virtual encounter had not been generated.”

CAMP is an institution functioning in a refurbished 19th century hotel located in the French Pyrenees, at an altitude of 750 m, 10 km away from the Spanish border and surrounded by snow-capped peaks, waterfalls and forests. CAMP offers five-day sessions of art, music, writing and artivism. Its programs combine work in its equipped facilities with projects carried out in the nature of the mountains.
