“Monte Espina explores the non-idiomatic space occupied by constructed and discovered sounds, both musical and non-musical.” Tom Carter

An electroacoustic free improvisation duo consisting of Ernesto Montiel and Miguel Espinel, Monte Espina focuses on the use of amplified sounds and signal processing to create evolving soundscapes and musical forms. Montiel and Espinel, both Venezuelan-born, met in early 2016 while attending experimental music shows around the Dallas-Denton axis.

Monte Espina frequently collaborates with others, live and in the studio. Among those they have played and recorded with, from the Dallas-Denton axis and from Texas: Liz Tonne, Louise Fristensky, Tom Carter, Rebecca Novak, Andrew Jordan Miller, Karl Roehling, Kevin Butler, Aaron Gonzalez, Steve Jansen, Sarah Ruth Alexander, Justin Lemons, Chase Gardner, Adriana Valls, Ray Henninger, Derek Rogers, Elaine Di Falco.
