Radio Report From The Dissidence
by Sajjra Xhrs Galarreta (aka Christian Galarreta Pando)
“Radio Report from Dissidence”, are a series of podcasts by Sajjra Xhrs Galarreta presenting situational (raw) field recordings taken from his transhumance experience. As a live set it is presented as an acoustic situation based on the deconstruction of raw field recordings made in different parts of the world, combined with the sound of Andean and amazonic acoustic instruments played live. Sometimes the audience is invited to participate with sounds and movements in any way.
Sajjra Xhrs Galarreta Pando (aka Christian Galarreta) — Peruvian artist with an extensive experience in multimedia art, song-writing and electroacoustic music composition. A key and elusive figure in the underground noise and experimental circuit of South America. Since 1998, he has performed and presented his work in Latin America, Europe and Asia with different art projects and bands as DiosMeHaViolado, Evamuss, Sajjra, Chrs Galarreta, Dj Sajjra, Invisible Architecture and currently as Sajjra Xhrs Galarreta.
His work has been published by the labels Tsonami Arte Sonoro, Sub Rosa, Aloardi, Buh Records and Schematic among others. Founding member of Aloardi collective (Lima, 1998-present) which one he collaborates with different social and artistic self-managed communities in Peru and abroad. As an independent label and artist-in-residency, Aloardi is a platform for diffusion, production and research in sound, music, DIY technology and mixed media. In 2016 and 2017, Xhrs curated -together with Janneke van der Putten and Gabriel Castillo Aguero- ‘Aloardi Festival: Peruvian New Music and Arts’ (WORM, Rotterdam) and the ‘Aloardi Exchange Programme’, inviting Peruvian artists to present their work within the Schengen Area. He received among others subventions: a grant from the Fondo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes – FONCA (Mexico City, 2008) with the sound installation ‘Amarus’, a commission by Documenta 14 (Athens – Kassel, 2017) to compose the radio piece ‘Raw Field Recordings II: Electromagnetic Detritus’, and a commission by Foundation Idraola (The Netherlands, 2019 – 2021) with the support of Prins Bernhard Fund and Akademie Schloss Solitude to realize his composition ‘Larynx Lux’ – made for the ‘Voice-Skin’ (electronic textile, voice and space). Together with the visual artist Margarita Milova between April 2021 and April 2023, led an artist-in-residence program and a series of sound walks in Turkey called “Melismas” (Voices Modulated by Anatolian Landscapes), inviting people to experience the landscape and its poetics as an acoustic and visual modulator. In recent years he lived as a nomad and now resides in Cévennes (France).
The Magic I.D.
Kai Fagaschinski – clarinet
Margareth Kammerer – vocals & guitar
Christof Kurzmann – lloopp, devices & vocals
Michael Thieke – clarinet
The Berlin-Viennese experimental pop outfit The Magic I.D. reconciles the abstract with the song. The sonic foundation of the quartet is built delicately by the psycho- acoustic clarinets of Kai and Michael, who you might know as The International Nothing. Maggie’s stripped down guitar patterns and Christof’s rough, subtly set in motion computer projections provide the porous walls, while their voices of inward bent beauty deliver the gorgeous ceiling of this fragile construction. The Magic I.D. released two albums of high praise and little sales a longer while ago and kept things quiet lately. In February 2026 the quartet recorded their third album at Electric Avenue Studios in Hamburg. The album is in process of mixing and will hopefully see its release later this year.
