Lucrecia Dalt pres. A Danger to Ourselves + Jonathan Castro (Live-Set)
silent green presents
Lucrecia Dalt
Lucrecia Dalt (Pereira, Colombia) has carved out a distinctive space in contemporary music. After her first recordings appeared through Colombian collective Series, Dalt contributed to Monika Enterprise's 4 Women No Cry compilation in 2008, marking her entrance into the international music scene. After moving from Medellín to Barcelona and then to Berlin, her sound increasingly developed in abstract directions.
Now Dalt returned with A Danger to Ourselves, her most personal and sonically ambitious work to date. The album grew from fragmentary notes Dalt scribbled during tours and the early days of a new relationship—intimate thoughts later transformed into musical compositions in 2024.
Working closely with percussionist Alex Lázaro, Dalt built pieces that generate musicality through the interplay of bass lines, beats, and textural details. Sonically unraveling like a deeply personal conversation, Dalt’s voice is foregrounded and formidable, supported by a lush array of acoustic orchestration and processing, collaged percussive patterns, and an esteemed cast of collaborators.
Jonathan Castro
Jonathan Castro Alejos (Lima, PE) is a graphic designer and multidisciplinary artist based in Rotterdam working across sound, video, installation, and performance. His practice moves between the real and the fictitious, assembling and reassembling collected raw materials with different qualities and identities into surfaces, objects, visual languages, and soundscapes.
His work unfolds through processes of accumulation, degradation and translation, where recorded environments, visual fragments and tonal residues are treated as materials rather than representations. Looping structures emerge as unstable polyrhythmic systems, flickering between coherence and chance. Rather than asserting control, he explores the limits of hardware-based processes, allowing sequences to evolve, interfere and partially escape intention.
In 2023 he released Radiance Loops on Confusion Unit, a collection of field recordings captured in post-industrial and abandoned areas between Amsterdam and Lima, developed in parallel with a collaborative clothing project with Edwin Europe. Castro Alejos was founder of the band The Satellite, with whom he shared stages with Sonic Youth and Deafheaven. As a visual artist he has collaborated with labels and platforms such as PAN, AD93, Rewire Festival, Gang of Ducks, Dekmantel, FACT Magazine and Mannequin Records, and has toured internationally creating live visuals for upsammy’s performances.
