Sound of Ruins
Our Story
Sound of Ruins began with a long-established dedication to music, a long journey that started in Berlin and led to a rare encounter with the vivid artists Platform of AADK Spain, a project providing residency opportunities for international artists, and a crumbling house with a beautiful garden in the magical Ricote Valley. Sound became the link, AADK a support and a partner, and the house the location of a professional studio, surrounded by olive and fruit trees and rocky mountains. Having created a strong base in Blanca, Spain, we have decided to do what we do best – create and share our sound content – and to make our digital and physical resources available to fellow creators.
Our project also incorporates a personal music platform under the same name, initiated by the founder of the project, François Benner, with the desire to achieve as much artistic freedom as possible; to create and to narrate a personal manifesto, stretching ideas from club music to electronica, alternative/experimental and techno.
