Ana Quiroga Olavarrieta is a versatile music composer, producer, and sound designer, originally from Asturias (Spain) and currently based in London. Her work spans various media, including arts, film, audiovisual, immersive and interactive projects. She is constantly exploring new ways of music and sound storytelling through her innovative practice.
Ana has recently joined Houndstooth and released her new solo album 'Azabache'. 'Azabache' is shaped by Ana’s deep connection to her homeland Asturias and her experience since moving to London, the project is both intimate and enchanting. From the rich Celtic heritage of Asturias – the mines, minerals, and mystical feminine energy – to the urban occultism of her now-home London and the streets of Hackney and the East End, ‘Azabache’ embodies the connection between deep and highly symbolic ancestral roots and these contemporary new beginnings.
Ana has extensive discography, releasing on prestigious labels such as Editions Mego, Other People, fabric Originals and Modern Obscure Music. She is also known for being one half of the duo LCC, who released two albums on eMego, Subtempo, Comfortzone, and Irregular, among others. Additionally, Ana has released music under the alias NWRMNTC on Arboretum and QTZL.
With a prolific career performing live, she has played and showcased her work at renowned venues and festivals around the world, including Barbican London, Berlin Atonal, Cafe OTO, Sónar Barcelona, Lisboa and Hong Kong, MUTEK Montreal, Argentina and Mexico, Superblue London, Somerset House Studios, MIRA Festival, LEV, Espacio Fundación Telefónica Lima, CCD Mexico, and Corsica Studios.
Ana hosts a bi-monthly radio show, 'As Above So Below' on CAMP Radio; a deep listening into the uncanny through music, sound and magick, through mixes, conversations and readings.
