The practice of Alex Mendizabal is characterized by the construction of instruments and sound spatialization. It often adopts unusual forms, such as blind films, concerts in movement, or underwater music. He has spent thirty years researching different areas of music and sound. His proposals range from music for an orchestra to experiments with graphical notation, scores of less than a second, and concerts for geological movements. In 1996, he stopped composing in order to dedicate himself to making instruments and incorporating space and a reflection on listening as the basis of his proposals.

On this occasion, Mendizabal will occupy the Burgess Center with balloons, soap, chickpeas and the sound intersection produced by their coming together.

In his closets and pockets one can find writings and poems. He has played in all kinds of venues, as well as festivals, museums and venues in various countries (Serralves, Portugal; the Biennale of Music and 25FPS, Croatia; Visitazioni, M.A.C.RO. and Biennale Venezia, Italy; Pépète Lumière, Nantes, Bayonne, France; Anthology Film Archive, San Francisco Cinemateque and Whitney Museum, USA; La Casa Encendida, Museo Reina Sofia and MACBA, Spain; Ghent, Belgium; Rotterdam Film Festival, Netherlands; Ertz, Tabakalera and Larraskito, Basque Country, Cafe Oto, UK; among others).
