Nostalgia Radio

A constant musical thread, made up of a multitude of fragments of songs of different styles and origins, is played through a multi-channel FM radio broadcasting system. This broadcast is received by an accumulation of obsolete mini-channels that are scattered throughout the space. Among the various tracks of the soundtrack—reminiscent in aesthetics of a "vaporwave" genre album—Estel Boada occasionally gives voice and lyrics to some of the melodies, repeating them in a loop throughout the broadcast.

Daniel Moreno Roldán is a long-term resident artist at Hangar, as well as a music producer and sound designer. Through his practice he works with referents that, due to their digital nature—supposedly immaterial and non-tangible—tend to fade away. He reflects on questions of obsolescence, nostalgia and temporality, through the use of a multitude of formats—music, installation, video, etc.—but normally understood under the codes of the scenic and performative. He is a member and co-founder of the Video Games Club, a group of people interested in video games beyond being forms of entertainment, which meets every two months at Hangar. Together with Estel Boada, he is part of the electronic music project SOSUN.dance, for which he composes songs using obsolete computers and video game consoles.
