Swampland studios is the mask used by A.C.S-A. for his sound projects and collaborations. This may include music, articles, sound design for short films, or any other kind of sound-related work he´s doing.

A.C.S-A is extremely interested in experimental music, spoken words, audio technology, media production, recording, sampling, remixing and sculpting sound and has been working as independent live sound technician, backliner and sound editor for some years.

In some cases, Swampland Studios won´t be the legal owner of the media shown in this website (because all of this is copyrighted by different producing companies with different licenses in one way or another), but will only publish information that belongs to Swampland Studios or with the approbation of the legal owners.

Loads of things have happened since I announced a compilation of the best of all the stuff I did in my life regarding sound (well, that´s all I´ve done I consider interesting, anyway), as you can tell, that never happened, but there´s good reason why; A more interesting project came to the life and worries of Swampland Studios crew, and it´s because Marco Fernández, David Martin, R. Alberola and myself got together a few months ago and started working on songs and stuff. There´s a 3 song demo coming soon, we just have to find a name for the band.

So, what´s the best way to introduce something new than with a joke?

This is the first recording of me doing drums, because I suck at playing them, David wasn´t there and Rafa had to leave early.


Keep on Rockin´in the Free World Keep on Rockin´in the Free World.

And…as long as I´m not allowed to publish anything from the band yet, this is a classical work by Regino Sainz de la Maza, not written for electric guitar and with a few mistakes, but there you go (some people would love to stone me for this).

The premise of Búscate la vida is that you have one week to make a 4 minute film, from conception to post production. The scheme’s guidelines stated that the theme should be “It was always there” and that the film should include a graffiti and a broken mirror.

A few weeks ago we recorded a song composed by Ismael Inarejos, who stayed with us for a few days in London. The track is called “Song for Hannah” and features Xavi Campoy playing lead guitar and Ismael Inarejos singing and playing the rhythm guitar. This recording has been made with the usual MOTU 828 mkII I carry everywhere I go (almost) and an Audio Technica AT202.

This is just a rough mix.

Ismael Inarejos is the singer and frontman of MEL, band based in Catalonia. MEL´s growing success and undeniable talent have taken them to play in Buenafuente tv show a couple of times, and in Palau de la Musica for Sant Jordi´s day lately, you can contact them here.

Parking Keeps Going On

It’s an absolute pleasure to announce that “Parking” has won an award at the Colorado Springs Indie Scene Festival as Best Short Film. “Parking” already got the Best Short Film award in FECINEMA (Manresa, Spain), FILMLABFESTIVAL (Best actor for Pablo Turegano) and has been a finalist out of 600 short films from all over the world at The Manhattan Short Festival (Mr. Jorge Molina is currently working in a new short film that hopefully will get to shoot sometime during the Summer: A good story involving Judo and the discovery of the first love).

Apart from this, last weeks we’ve been recording some stuff with our guests and flatmates, and we had the chance to record a song with GARE’s and MEL’s frontman Ismael Inarejos together with Xavi. We’ll upload a bit of that soon.

It is January already, AC didn´t get to fly back home for the Christmas events and was stuck in Gatwick airport for the whole night. The struggle for getting the money back begins. There are 2 polish guys painting the bathroom ceiling, and we are looking for a room to rent in Bethnal Green or Whitechapel. Then we can take our equipment from Madrid and start recording again. There´s a pirate tale, a colombian rapper and lots of blues in sight. Also mixing Marco´s stuff.

Keep in touch.
