Stahlfabrik is Josep Maria Soler Sol\u00e0, a Barcelona resident living in Almeria since 2003. Sound artist, experimental musician, disseminator, blogger, radio announcer, activist, event organizer and cultural agitator, he has been active since the 80s.<\/p>\n
It was when he arrived in Almeria that his actions took shape with the websites Wet Dreams, Electronic Orgy and Ex Libris; with ‘Baja Frecuencia’, on R\u00e0dio PICA, and with the netlabel Wet Dreams Records. In 2007, with Jes\u00fas D\u00edaz, he formed Stahlfabrik, which lasted a few months as a duo and which Soler continued solo as his ‘alter ego’ of experimental musician and sound artist.<\/p>\n
In the 2010s he contacted artists from Almeria such as Carlos Mart\u00edn, A.L. Guill\u00e9n and Juan Manuel Cidr\u00f3n, who connected him with the sound universe of the city and the nearby provinces. This is where the Moradas Festival was born, the embryo of Morada S\u00f3nica, a benchmark for experimental music in Andalusia that Soler organizes with sound artist Rafael Flores and dancer Ana Arenas.<\/p>\n
Josep Maria Soler combines his activity as an agitator with that of a composer, working with synthesizers, field recordings, virtual synthesis and visual elements. The sound of Stahlfabrik is cold and factory oriented, with the idea of \u200b\u200ban apocalyptic world flooded with industrial atmospheres permeating the proposal and with visuals by Rafael Flores<\/p>\n
