Chilean musician
Musical artist
Cristian Vogel (born 1972) is a Chilean-born experimental
electronic musician and producer.
Biography
Vogel was born in
Chile and moved to England in the early 1980s with his family, fleeing from the
government of
Augusto Pinochet.
[1]
He began working with electronic compositions in the late 1980s with the
Cabbage Head Collective (working with
Si Begg, among others). He attended the
University of Sussex and graduated with a degree in modern music there, suffusing his
techno compositions with influences from
musique concrete and other
avant-garde styles.
[1]
In the early 1990s, Vogel began working with
Dave Clarke, and issued several EPs on Clarke's
Magnetic North Records label, the first of which was the underground success, Infra.
[1] After some collaborations with
Russ Gabriel, Vogel released his debut full-length, Beginning to Understand, in 1994 on
Mille Plateaux, and began releasing music regularly after this on
Tresor Records. He also started two labels of his own, Mosquito and Quinine, on which he releases both his own music and other artists'.
Alongside
Jamie Lidell, he formed the group
Super Collider in 1998, which released two albums. In the early 2000s, Vogel moved to
Barcelona, where he set up the Erutufon 5 studio.
In recent years,[
when?] he has started a number of other record labels: Rise Robots Rise (now defunct), Sleep Debt, and Station 55 (also the name of his studio).
[1]
[2] Whilst these record labels are primarily a vehicle to release his own work, they have also released records for other artists.
He sang and played guitar in the band
Night of the Brain, based in Barcelona.
[3] Vogel has also done remixes for
Radiohead,
Maxïmo Park,
Chicks on Speed, and
Fujiya & Miyagi. As of 2021, he is based in
Copenhagen.
