NICOLÁS OJEDA (composer/bassplayer)
I was born in Córdoba Argentina in 1975, then move to Rio Negro in 1990 and from 1994 to now I live in Buenos Aires.
My studies since 1989 were with some of the best in argentina, highlighting mainly to Guillermo Vadalá, Carlos Madariaga and Andrés Fuhr (from Río Negro).
I've been working in instrumental/experimental/sideband/sessionist proyects in different styles and music languages from rock/funk/r&b to fusion/experimental music and musicalization of theatre plays, art-videos, web-art, preformances interactive CD-Roms etc...
I'm searching for sound/textures that produce situations and tell stories, leaving plenty space for improvisation. I also participate in jazz, funk, rock, R&B and Blues bands recording and playing frecuently.

Teatro GIT, Beltrán. Río Negro, Espacio Giesso, Buenos Aires, Centro Cultural Recoleta, Buenos Aires, Aditi Theatre, Georgia, Museo Provincial de Bellas Artes "Emilio Caraffa", Córdoba, Centro Cultural Rougés- Fundación Lillo, Tucumán, Centro Cultural San Martín, Buenos Aires, Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, Buenos Aires, Casa de los Estudiantes UBA, Buenos Aires, Parsons MFA, Center of Design, New York, EEUU, DCTV (Downtown Community Television Center), New York, EEUU, Valencia, Etc...
