Jakite Gabean
Jakite Gabean is a collaborative project by Sarah Rasines and Enrike Hurtado that focuses on the use of the cassette in sound art and experimental music in Spain. This project arises from the doctoral and artistic research of both of them.
The work has two main lines of development or action, on the one hand there is a documentary research on the use of the cassette in the arts from the 60s to the 80s, and on the other hand, there is another more creative and practical line of work where we develop an artistic work in the field of music and sound based on what we found in the search.

Sarah Rasines is an artist and researcher with a preference for hybrid roles in the intersections between programming, self-publishing, teaching, radio, construction with sound, the materialisation of more or less independent projects or the creation of networks.
She has a degree in Fine Arts from the San Carlos Faculty of Fine Arts at the Polytechnic University of Valencia. She combines audio practice with PhD research at the Faculty of Fine Arts of Lejona at the University of the Basque Country, where she has been an active member of the Ikersoinu Research Group (Sound Research and Artistic Space).
In 2018 she created Crystal Mine to promote the exchange of music under the #anticopyright philosophy. This self-managed label is intended to release music on cassette reinforcing those fresh and risky projects based on experimentation without limits.
Enrike Hurtado is a member of ixi audio and a lecturer at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of the Basque Country in Bilbao. Trained as an artist, Enrike Hurtado's practice ranges from live improvisation and sound installations to conceptual recordings. Part of the punk/post-hardcore scene in the Basque Country, he started making computer music in the early 2000s within the ixi collective in London, developing his unique experimental music software.
