Sympoietic is a sonic exploration that celebrates collective creation, interdependence, and diversity within experimental electronic music. An ecosystem of voices, textures, and rhythms unfolds—co-creating a soundscape in constant transformation.
The concept of sympoiesis, coined by Donna Haraway, describes systems that do not self-produce (autopoiesis) but instead emerge through interdependent relationships. There are no isolated creators, no fixed boundaries—only a dynamic process of making-with.
This compilation brings together 16 artists from different geographies, cultural backgrounds, and sonic approaches, generating a space where sound itself becomes a living entity shaped by collective gestures. Each composition is a node within a vast and ever-evolving network, where the interplay between organic and synthetic, human, and technological, individual and collective dissolves into a symbiotic sonic experience.
Beyond a simple collection of tracks, Sympoietic embodies an alternative mode of artistic creation: one that challenges dominant structures in music and society by embracing shared processes, mutual resonance, and the unpredictable potential of collaboration.
Eva!
Eva! is part of Insurgents Collective, an electronic and cultural agitation collective. Apart of this, manages Dirtyy Tapess, a music and fanzine label that operates in a copyright-free and non-commercial way and co-direct the A/V label MOHO with Aurora Arelas, better known as calambr3D, a 3D/Visual designer and artist.
For Eva!, the leisure and entertainment space is not an empty, harmful space of escapism, childishness, or avoidance of the future. It must be approached in a combative and political way, through collaboration across all art and entertainment disciplines, ensuring it becomes more eclectic, safe, plural, combative and transgressive every day, wishing it to be better tomorrow, than today.

Under the name Narcoleptica, Beatriz Vaca Campayo has been crafting a highly personal career since 2006, exploring electronic and experimental music, with elements of psychedelia, dream pop, noise, ambient, and post-rock. She fuses live electronics, enveloping guitars, psychedelic synthesizers, and her voice to create a mysterious and emotionally layered sonic journey into the unknown. Rather than focusing on interpretation, her work seeks to uncover a truth capable of creating an authentic experience that profoundly impacts the listener.
Her latest album, Paradox (self-released, December 2024), adds to her discography, which includes A Natural Event (2023), W/O (2021), The Skull Beneath the Smile (2020), among others. Her music also appears in various compilations and collaborative albums. Narcoleptica composes soundtracks for film and creates original music and sound design for stage works in performance, dance, and theatre, where she often performs live.
Known for her dynamic live performances, she has played extensively at venues and festivals worldwide, touring across Europe and Latin America. She was recently an artist-in-residence at the Sonic Experiments 2024 program at ZKM Karlsruhe (Germany), where she explored her voice as an intersection between the intangible pulse of sound and tangible physicality in an immersive new sound piece for the 42 speakers of the ZKM Kubus Sound Dome.
