Hi, I'm Sarah Rasines. I am currently living and working in Burgos. I am a sound and visual artist. I have a degree in Fine Arts from the San Carlos Faculty of Fine Arts at the Polytechnic University of Valencia. I combine artistic creation with research at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of the Basque Country, where I also belonged to a research group called Ikersoinu Research Group ("Sound research and artistic space: new technical and conceptual tools for creation"). My field of work is related to temporal processes and experimental media.

I’ve also got a Master’s Degree in Cultural Management from the University of the Basque Country. I have worked for the Fundación Caja de Burgos designing its annual cultural program; and I have directed the Culturapia Program, organised by Fundación Caja de Burgos and La Caixa, which brings culture to hospitals and the penitentiary center in Burgos. At the moment, I am working for Junta de Castilla y León as a cultural manager and developing different projects that I am passionate about. And I am a member of GesculCyl, the Association of Cultural Management Professionals of Castile and Leon.

In 2018 I created Crystal Mine to promote the exchange of music under the philosophy of #anticopyright. This independent label aims to release music on cassette, mainly; to showcase fresh and risky projects based on experimentation.

In 2019 I presented Crystal Mine on Radio Relativa, Madrid, where I host a bimonthly radio program that explores the latest trends and interests of the label through different formats.

In addition, I hold workshops on Musical Creation for children in Libraries and Art Centres in which two important phases of experimentation are combined within their parallel artistic didactic actions: experimentation with meta-literary content and experimentation with sound beyond music.

I've lived away from Burgos for quite a while in cities like Valencia, Bilbao or Barcelona. This has greatly influenced my work, since everything I have seen and learned elsewhere has had a direct impact on my experiences and projects in the city of Burgos.
