About this exposition

Name: Julián Sarmiento Main Subject: Classical Double Bass Research Supervisor: Karst de Jong Title of Research: In search of new dimensions: Pieces for electronically enhanced Double Bass Research Question: How can I develop an artistic product, which includes the electronically enhanced double bass and allows me to interact with topics relevant to today? Summary of Results: Since the start of this project, the goal was to discover and explore the paths of creative processes. On the road, I found a lot of overwhelming challenges that showed me how complicated it is to create a coherent, relevant and interesting artistic product. However, I learned that making decisions at the right moment opens the door to a huge amount of other possibilities. A group of short pieces was created. They are based on field recordings of songs and chants of the Original Indigenous Peoples of Colombia, done by León Cobo. These pieces have been created together with Mári Máko and they are our views on specific sound aspects of these recordings, and also the result of a research in how to electronically enhance the Double Bass. I believe that the exploration of this material can raise the awareness of the music and original practices that took place in Colombia before the Hispanic colonization. Biography: Julián Sarmiento was born in Bogotá, Colombia. He studied double bass in Bogota for several years and in 2010 he entered the Colombia National Symphony. In 2012 he moved to the Netherlands, where he is currently in his last year of his Master's degree at the Royal Conservatoire of The Hague, studying with Jean-Paul Everts. At the same time he became an academist in the Residentie Orkest in The Hague and also plays regularly with Het Ballet Orkest in Amsterdam. One of Julián's most important activities is in the field of contemporary or modern music. In Colombia, he played in the Als Eco Ensemble, nationally one of the most important ensembles of modern music. In The Netherlands, he is regularly invited to play in the Insomnio Ensemble. Since 2015, is a member of the ensemble But What About.
