SUSO SÁIZ

Booking: info(@)folkwisdom.net

Having been at the forefront of Spain’s experimental music scene since the late 1970s, multi-instrumentalist Suso Saiz formed the pivotal group Orquesta de las Nubes, studio project Música Esporádica, Suspended Memories and Trash of Dreams.

His work has been evolving towards the creation of textures, based on guitars and processes over acoustic elements and soundscapes. There are no synthesizers or electronic automatisms in his sound.

A prolific producer, he has recorded with Spain’s most singular popular musicians as well as with a number of luminary electronic and world music artists such as Steve Roach, Jorge Reyes, and Salif Keita, Christian Fennesz and Gigi Masin.

Suso’s universe is one that remains in constant mutation and emphasizes time above all else. His radiant drones are a nest of hidden feelings; they glisten with complex emotions and textures, teasing out moods of vulnerability and hope.

The most representative figure of Spain’s now cult experimental scene, Suso Sáiz remains an exploratory musician in a musical universe that knows no boundaries.

Dutch label Music From Memory has released Saiz’s latest works including Rainworks (2017), Nothing Is Objective (2019), Resonant Bodies (2022), Distorted Clamor (2024) and the retrospective Odisea (2016).
