Marçal Xirau

· Marçal Xirau is a Catalan experimental electronic musician based in London. He has released four EP’s and one LP since 2017. He is currently presenting his next upcoming album “Unveiled”. The first single titled “Hidden”, released on October 25, 2024, is a dreamy lullaby that offers an introduction to the sonic and emotional depth of the album. With its slow, deliberate build, “Hidden” intertwines moments of introspection with bursts of aggression. The single’s delicate yet powerful sound blends ethereal melodies with raw emotional energy.

· The producer has presented his work in several European festivals, such as Sónar. Having an electric guitar background, the musician seeks for expression and depth through his unique use of digital production tools. The musician creates immersive sets of original music, bending the barrier between ambient music, pop, experimental electronica and abstract high pitch melodic synth music.

· Marçal Xirau has opened for Colleen, Rabit, Doon Kanda and Organ Tapes shows. He played after Arca’s concert, continuing Sónar’s night in 2020.
