Adriana Petit

Adriana Petit (born 1984 in Palma de Mallorca) is a Spanish artist. Her main mediums of choice include photography, collage, music, writing and video. Nonetheless, her work is characterized by a predominance of content over medium, exploring the relationship between contraries from an autobiographical and deconstructionist point of view. The absence of academic training and the scarce institutional coverage contribute to locate her in the outskirts of the mainstream art context, and digital platforms like Tumblr, Flickr or YouTube are her usual exhibition channels. She has lived and worked at Madrid and Barcelona. from the band called Dios. Musically, Muso Fantasma is based in sound collage and spoken word, using samplers, effects, keyboards, electric guitar and industrial percussions. In 2009, they released a CD album called "Se puede bailar con los demonios pero siempre en actitud de fiesta" (Spanish for "You can dance with the demons but always in a party mood") on the Greek label More Mars, as the second instalment of the "Anarthria" series.

V In 2013, Adriana started a post-punk band called "V", together with Rafa (from the bands Orden Mundial, Trance and Escorpio) and the artist Andrea Jarales, from which it only exists one video recording played live in a rehearsal room.

Esperit Maleït

Esperit Maleït (Catalan for "Cursed Spirit") was a sound and collage-installation art project developed by Adriana together with Andrea Jarales in an artist-in-residence program in the Catalan village of Moià, in the context of the Ex Abrupto 2014 Art Festival. By the means of manipulating words and sounds extracted from Moià's anthropological environment, Esperit Maleït was created just for the occasion and it was exclusively formalized in the shape of a tuned room and a concert.

Carne Roja Carne Roja (Spanish for "Red Meat") was a musical project that Adriana started to develop solo along 2015. In a first stage Carne Roja consisted in single songs with an explicit neofolk approach that she uploaded at Bandcamp one by one, including a Death in June cover and a collaboration with Oriol Roca. After a short pause, during the same year she digitally published a first 6-track digital EP titled "Érase" (Spanish for "It was"), more noise-industrially oriented and with lyrics constructed from cut-ups from her own writings.

Adriana Petit In a 2016 interview Adriana suggested that whenever Carne Roja got to the point of finding its own sound and being capable of playing live concerts, then it would cease to be called as it was and Adriana would start to use her own name.
