MARCA RIBE Sessions: Pablo Swiss
Saturday, October 24, 2026
Afternoon Session: Doors 4:30pm.
Evening Session: Doors 7:30pm.
Omelas Listening Room
San Juan
Presented with MARCA RIBE.
A session devoted to Pablo Swiss, in two parts: first, a selection of his work to introduce the artist; then a first listen to his new recordings, still raw, before they are committed to the record. Introduced by David Guerra, founder and director of MARCA RIBE.
Pablo Swiss is the artist name of Alain Emile, a film and media composer from Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico, based in Los Angeles. On ‘SEVEN’ and ‘Desert María’ he builds ambient, electronic music out of improvisations and field recordings, some of them made on the coast of Cabo Rojo.
The artist will be present through a video message recorded specially for Omelas. After a brief pause we’ll listen to the recordings intended for his first vinyl: an invitation to be part of his process, in the first of the MARCA RIBE Sessions at Omelas. All proceeds from the session go to the production of the record.
His records are available directly from the artist’s Bandcamp.
