Miguel A. García "xedh" is one of the most active emergent figures in the scene of experimental music and sound art from the Basque Country. His current proposal mixes indiscriminately tones obtained by electronic devices through field recordings, in the look for an immersive, intimist and intense experience, in relation with microsound aesthetics but in a way beyond genre conventions.

Formed in Fine Arts and in audiovisual studies, he has been involved in projects as Xedh, Baba Llaga or Válvula Antirretorno and has collaborated with several artists and musical formations as Robert Todd, Charo Garaigorta, Iñigo Cabo, Jan M. Iversen, Zan Hoffman, Rinus Van Alebeek, Gora Japon, Hamburguesa Vegetal or Rafael Flores. His live acts have taken him to festivals like ERTZ (Navarre, Basque Country), Sonic Circuits (Washington DC, USA), LEM (Barcelona, Spain) or MEM (Bilbao, Basque Country), in addition to museums, galleries and cultural centers like MACUF (A Coruña, Spain), Chillida-Leku (Hernani, Basque Country), Sztuki Wspólczesnej Laznia (Gdansk, Poland), Guggenheim (Bilbao, Basque Country) or El Tanque (Tenerife, Canary Islands).
