about

Jaime Bermúdez Escamilla adopted his pen name from the late poet María del Adarve. A music enthusiast, as well as a composer and sound designer, Jaime was always compelled by what awaits at the intersection where music, words and images meet, and how the audience takes part in that exchange. His work has found its place in film, theater and video games over the past decade.

He began to develop his passion for music at the age of 12, when he started taking classical piano lessons in his hometown in Andalusia. At age 17 he joined a metal band, which is what you do at that age. A natural-born geek, he then bought his first Pro Tools equipment and began writing and producing fun instrumental pieces that sounded a lot like movie soundtracks. Not long after, he would start collaborating with friends on their projects, writing music for live art performances, short films and small games.

In 2015, Jaime co-founded his own video game company, an adventure that would give way to his freelance career in the sector. On the side, he’s an interactive music lecturer at the University of Barcelona and he also writes for the classical music magazine Press Music.

The music in Neu, his upcoming debut EP, was first conceived for the stage. In early 2019, Catalan playwright Bernat Muñoz commissioned Jaime’s music and sound for his soon-to-be premiered stage play. Neu delicately portrays the reunion between Tea, a woman with autism, and her sister Ada, following the death of their mother. Each piece is dedicated to each of the women in the story. The songs that were originally born from this script are now revisited and reshaped as an independent body of work. They were recorded live at Sol de Sants Studios in September 2022.

Neu releases on the 24th of March, featuring photographs taken by Jaime and graphic design by Celia Bayo.

Letters from Home
by Malcolm Parson

supported by 5 fans who also own “Neu”

A sweet showcase of a multi-instrumentalist's skills, playing with nostalgic, wistful textures, piano and cello at the forefront. The actual statements being made feel muddled to me. It might be because Parson and I look at the past differently, but the emotions being conveyed seem unclear here—like a tepid autumn breeze versus poetry that conveys a transformation. jammingdevice
