Howdy! My name is Keko and I'm a photographer and a musician that earns his living working with technology.

I work at a digital consultancy firm based in Madrid where we build digital products.

Holgado

I've been making music as Holgado since (shit) 2005, releasing four albums that you may listen on Spotify or Apple Music.

My last album is an LP about my family during the 90s. It's available in 12'' Vinyl through Bandcamp or you might listen to it on Spotify or Apple Music

You may also listen to some of my music in films and Tv shows like Los Años Nuevos or Luimelia, in the very first session of Miudiño Sessions or sometimes even in the TV!.

Photography

As a photographer, I'm interested in fine art photography. Specifically works that challenge perceptions surrounding digital images.

For the last 12 years I've been using security cameras as my main tool. It started as a small project about privacy and time, but it's now the only way I shoot photography for any subject, and I've released one photo book and several talks on the topic.

This is my photography portfolio. I also use Are.na for research and as a digital scrapbook. I also use this very site as a repository of my photographic diary.

Sufjan Stevens talks about Carrie & Lowell

What a great interview with Sufjan Stevens on his "Carrie & Lowell" album. It's kind of difficult to understand how a work that most of us consider an absolute masterpiece could be so painful for his creator. The interview is taking place due to...

Film

I've funded several films as associate producer. With Ion de Sossa's Mamantula we got a Goya nomination.

I've also designed several posters for films as Stockholm, Que Dios Nos Perdone or Madre.

I'd love to hear about your film project if you are looking for funding.

Games

I'm working on The Resonance of Time, a solo indie dev game with a Lynch vibe.

If you're courious, you may find its repository on Github.
