When Jaar was 14, he heard an album by electronic music legend and fellow Chilean, Ricardo Villalobos, and he was completely taken by the sound and feelings that the music evoked. So much so that he decided to try his hand at making music of his own. Fast forward to January 2011 and the release of Jaar's first album 'Space is Only Noise' which garnered massive critical acclaim, ranking as the best album of the year by Resident Advisor and Mixmag, receiving an 8.4 score from Pitchfork and 4 stars from The Guardian.

If you’re tuned in to the electronic music scene in London or Glasgow it’s more than likely you’ll have seen her work at Boiler Room, Sub Club, Dollop, Soundcrash or Red Bull Music Academy. To’s also worked closely with producers including Shigeto and Auntie Flo to create custom installations for their live events. In fact, it was at Boiler Room last summer that I first locked eyes on To’s work: a giant abstract African mask made of different shaped screens, each one pulsing with different colours and animating in sync with Auntie Flo’s music. The visuals were mapped to each scr...
