Hi, I'm Eevee (they/them),
transdisciplinary design researcher, poet and musician.

I am originally from Valencia (Spain) and based in London since 2011. I graduated in BSc Engineering Product Design with First Class Honours from London South Bank University in 2015. I am currently a PhD student at the Media and Arts Technology (MAT) Centre for Doctoral Studies, Queen Mary University of London. As part of the Augmented Instruments Laboratory, my research is concerned with disablity and musical apparatuses, with a focus on dialogic design and longevity.

I play bass synth and vocals in Muerte en el Parque. I also perform solo as Eevee, doing improvised sets of experimental electronics and spoken word accompanied by my self-built instrument NEP7UNO. My other aliases are Astrolabio and Spiritual Advisor, under which I have several digital releases. I used to sing and play bass synth in YOLO and was also half of Computers in Love. You can also check out my DJ mixes here.
