‘Cho.Lo.Fi‘ was an event organized and produced by Aloardi (at that time managed by Christian Galarreta and Gabriel Castillo) in two sessions (Sunday May 19 and Sunday May 26, 2002). For the realization of this event Aloardi was supported by DACP, artist friends, organizations and institutions, such as: TIM, Promej, Nomades Media, SONITEC and the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima. To see the documentation of this event, you can consult our archive at the following link: www.aloardi.org/wp/2020/05/
‘Laberinto Sonoro’ was an event conceptualized by Sun Cok (Medios Nomades) and Sajjra Chrs Galarreta (Aloardi). Sun Cok and Galarreta devised the event as a composition in itself. After summoning other artists who help a lot in the production and promotion of the event, especially Angie Bonino. In 2003 Aloardi published a CD-Rom titled «Laberinto Sonoro» (Alo 015) with interactive content in which you can listen to the audio documentation of the event and see video and photo records.
