Why do you go by two names?
mal(A.ventura)

‘Mal(a.ventura)2 is the collaboration between Malaventura and his friend and director Jesus Hernandez (aka Alejandro Ventura when plays the piano and composes scores). They explore the minimal universe with his own weapons, malaventura use his laptop and effects (that remain you the BBC workshop sound in some parts) and Alejandro Ventura with the classic piano (with a ghostly cadence that make you think in a Satie of the XXIe Siècle).’

Alejandro Ventura is living far away now...that’s just a moniker.
