ESPECTRA NEGRA
GIVING STRONG CRITICAL CONTENT TO THE ELECTRONIC MUSIC SCENE
𝔈𝔰𝔭𝔢𝔠𝔱𝔯𝔞 𝔑𝔢𝔤𝔯𝔞 is one of the most excellent solo projects producing dark ambient, power electronics & ritualistic noise in her home town Berlin, Germany. Born in Mexico City she became an important part of the political punk scene in the early 1990s. In 1997 she came for the first time to Europe where she researched new music expressions such as Brake Core & Techno. In 2000 she moved to Chicago where she digested the US-American hard core scene focused on the Latino and Black underground subcultures. After living in Chicago she moved to Berlin where she has worked since as radio producer, experimental filmmaker, sound designer, dj, tech-teacher, curator, sound artist, ritualistic noise producer & body art performer.
Her debut album "Savage Justice" is one of the best printed releases by a solo project in Europe feat. John Murphy on drums [SPK and Last Dominion Lost], and Annie Stubbs on vocals [Devotion and Sudden Infant], both strong independent punk legends from the 70s era in Australia and the UK.
Since 2017 𝔈𝔰𝔭𝔢𝔠𝔱𝔯𝔞 𝔑𝔢𝔤𝔯𝔞 has stablished as a solid powerful project from Berlin. She keeps the old industrial sound mixed with shamanic elements and sound art creating a powerful mix known as Alchemical Sound. Her works are influenced by SPK, Throbbing Gristle, COIL, Maurizio Bianchi, Anne Guillis, Muslimgauze, Ghédalia Tazartès and Merzbow, among many other outlaws.
𝔈𝔰𝔭𝔢𝔠𝔱𝔯𝔞 𝔑𝔢𝔤𝔯𝔞 explores the philosophical, psychological, visual and aural territory suggested by the term Industrial. Using outstanding graphic standards, body art performance, self-written text, deviant content and visceral vocalism she has established as one of the most powerful & prominent projects Berlin has to offer. From factory noise to ritualistic dark landscapes, cyberpunk & experimental science fiction, her alchemical and evocative force reaches strongly into the human psyche and beyond. A solo project you will not forget!
Special interests included serial murders, forensic pathology, war, venereology, mental disease, social surveillance, networks of power & control, transhumanism, liquid modernity, the society of the spectacle, LGTBQ+ resistance and rebellious movements, among much more.
