El PLAN DE AGUAVODKA is the alias of New
Mexico-born, Ohio-raised multimedia
artist, John Ibarra. It is also his official
plan to have no plan/to leave
some things to chance/to live in a world in which
many worlds..., etc. His
foray into experimental music is equal parts
quasi-religious speculation and
pseudo-scientific jibber-jabber (Heavily
influenced by the non-musical ideas
of the late Dr. Jacques Benveniste and Pierre
Teilhard de Chardin).
Musically he combines the aesthetics of
ethnographic field recordings with
destructive practices often involving
circuit-bent toys, prepared cd's and
tapes, and misused encoding software. Although in
the past he has focused on
vignette-like "miniatures" he is beginning to
embrace a broader canvas. His
current obsession is to blend the sounds of
primitive rock-en-espa–ol and
so-called Early Music with various inappropriate
and nonexistent genres.
