"Lorea Oar-Arteta was born in Donostia, grew up in Bermeo and then moved and grew up some more in Bilbao. In 1977 she travelled to London where she learned the importance of a good "three-minute boiled egg" and a "Burger King", working as a waitress at the Country Stile in Kingston. Back in Bilbao she worked as a secretary and studied, earning a degree in Basque Philology in 1983 and another in Fine Arts in 1998. A year later she would take up residence at BilbaoArte and from then on would work at her own studio in Bilbao. Her interest in images in motion was piqued by several experimental video courses she took. This in turn led to an interest in experimental sound, where she discovered an unexplored world of soundscapes that at the current time, along with Prussian blue and ivory black, form part of her creative work and universe.

She has taken part in collective and individual exhibitions at BilbaoArte, at the Sala Catálogo General, Bilbao; P. Barroeta in Bermeo and Zuloa in Gazteiz. She has also participated in ¡Vacas-Behiak!; Don Quijote eta Artea, organised by Bilbao 700; Metrópolis IX, Sestao; Hika Ateneo, Bilbao; Sala N. B., Bermeo; Biscay Bar Association; BilbaoArte, installation; Inaki Loidi, her hairdresser's salon; Larraldea, Senpere; Lamiak. The most spectacular thing that's ever happened to her so far in her artistic life was appearing along with Nagel in the Ars Mediterranea magazine - Euskadi dossier in March 1998, amazing, zu.

In the musical realm she is a member of the group AAAh along with María Seco and Aintzane Aranguena, focusing on sound improvisation, sheet music research or annotations of John Cage, Douglas Barrett, Taylan Susa and others. She has performed in Bilbao and surroundings at Le Larraskito Club, Bilbao Arte with Miguel Angel García, Jornadas Ivaginarias, MEM Internatioanl Experimental Art Festival, Zarata Fest along with Al Karpenter, Mattin and Terri, La Morada. She has also worked with Al Margolis on the PONZI project.

At the Le Larraskito Club she appeared in "Qualksums I" by Miguel Angel García with Bluiump Ensemble: Txemi Artigas, Aintzane con G de Gloria, Ibon, Javier Rodríguez Perez-Curiel, Marta Sainz, Enrique Zaccagnini and she has performed at Coperacha Mexikorentzat! with Kakofunk and Oier Iruretagoiena. She composed and performed Paper piece-1 at Bilbao Arte and Paper piece-2 at Le Larraskito Kluba."

"Miguel A. García has been active for over two decades and with a discography that exceeds ten albums (presenting which he has toured Europe, America and Asia, performing at no less than the Issue Project Room in New York, the National Arts Centre in Mexico City, the Ftarri in Tokyo, the DOM Cultural Center in Moscow, the Église Saint-Merry in Paris or the National Auditorium of Music in Madrid), is a reference in experimental music and sound art, both for his work as a composer and for his career in the electroacoustic improvisation scene. During his career, the artist from Bilbao has collaborated with names such as Fernando Carvalho, Francisco López, Francisco Meirino, Ibon RG, Jean-Luc Guionnet, Juan Carlos Blancas or Seijiro Murayama, as well as curating events and festivals such as the Zarata Fest, the Hotsetan at Azkuna Zentroa or the legendary and extinct Club Le Larraskito. An immaculate career, in short, to which this work before us is now added. A double album with which the Basque artist has managed to lucidly convey the vital moment in which he finds himself and give shape to this timeless and genuinely avant-garde artistic artefact, called "Littentula".

Like a modern Prometheus but using as raw material the documentation of his own capture processes (both for timbre synthesis and for composition), in this new album García signs an intimate and attractive invitation to sublimation, through pieces that are abstract by nature and that display a brutal sensitivity. A stimulating challenge, which has been orchestrated with musician friends of the stature of Garazi Gorostiaga, Enrike Hurtado and Garazi Navas in mind, who have turned his scores into a major work that transcends genres and is divided into two twin volumes, united by a new artificial beauty conceived from the genes of the old world.

In the first album of "Littentula", García acts as the creator of an authentic sound stage, where the transmuted organic takes us back to the cycle of regeneration of nature. The four tracks that make up the album are developed from an intriguing metric of the beats, which manages to stimulate and expand our perception of the hidden face of the apparent. In the second, this pre-conscious logic ends up deriving into a kind of slow motion convulsion, a deafened, veiled, latent and strangely intense spasm, through which we come to intuit that the dawn and the dusk are manifested in the object of creation. A beautiful game of mirrors, with which Miguel A. García presents before us the most essential intrinsic double opposite: Life."
