oído derecho: Santiago Barragán aka Fake City Quiet Pills

Spanish-Peruvian sound artist with an interest in the exploration of noise music, liturgy, illness, migration and the absurd.

His project began in Lisbon in 2023 with funk carioca and noise bootleg remixes of Arca + Rosalía, among other artists.

Later that year, his track ‘soho’ was released under Grimes’ AI catalogue.

In 2024 he founded alongside P0brediabla in Berlin a sound collective called Fragile Façades, which explores emotional landscapes, sacredness and noise in night parties across Europe.

In 2025 he joined LA-based Neoperreo and organizes EU/UK events for the label.

Currently he runs a radio show called ‘Desperate Prayers’ on Berlin-based 90mil. It has been featured on other radios such as Helsinki-based IDA and Marseille-based Ola Radio.

He’s also worked on film as Audio & ADR Mixer, Composer and Sound Designer.

He graduated from BIMM London with a BA (Hons) in Sound Production and Performance.

  • De paso @ CRUCE Contemporáneo Madrid / w Compañía Cárnica

    El sábado 15 de marzo de 2025, a las 19:00 horas, CRUCE presenta el evento colectivo La Llave, con una nueva propuesta donde se explorará la sombra, tanto del individuo como del colectivo, a través de la performance y el DJ live.

    "De paso" explora los sonidos de la intimidad de una habitación en contraste con el mundo exterior, hasta que la otredad integra y ocupa todo el espacio.

    La performance indaga cómo nuestros hogares reverberan las vidas de los que viven a nuestro alrededor, viviendo, en cierto modo, con nosotros.

    Paulatinamente, el espacio íntimo de la habitación se transforma en la propia ciudad.
