BIO

Ramiro Gorriti (Córdoba, Argentina, 1990) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work spans electronic music, dance, and photography. He graduated in Philology from the National University of Córdoba with a thesis on masculinities in opera, centered on Monteverdi’s L’Incoronazione di Poppea—laying the groundwork for an artistic practice that draws its raw material from classical sources. He also trained in lyrical singing while immersing himself in the world of drum machines, samplers, and synthesizers, and engaging with the Gaga movement language. Beyond his own productions, Gorriti actively works as a music curator and DJ, weaving together eclectic sets that bridge historical repertoire with contemporary club culture, and crafting sonic narratives that reflect his deep archival research.

𝖔𝖘𝖘𝖘𝖙𝖎𝖓𝖆𝖙𝖔, a musical term for a repetitive and persistent pattern, serves as both his alias and artistic concept. The ostinato symbolizes an obsessive instinct that embraces continuity and transformation, where repetition becomes a means to propel life, deepen listening, and expand sensibility. Breathing new life into madrigals, operas, and other vocal and instrumental pieces, Gorriti crafts hypnotic atmospheres with driving beats and lush FX. Drawing from house, techno, and ambient, he mines the archive to create experimental, DAWless electronic music, channeling a dynamic dialogue of textures.

This ongoing research—which combines singing, sampling, sound synthesis, embodied movement, and visual documentation—unfolds through a context of nomadism and immersive practice. A milestone in this exploration is his debut album, LAMENTO DELLA NINFA (2025, Ñ-records): a frantic, fevered reimagining of Monteverdi’s 1638 madrigal, deconstructed through iterative live sessions, both in and out of the box. The outcome is a luscious, kinetic suite where bass-forward tech-house, left-field excursions, and rumbling, solid-state techno intersect with somber chants and shadowy vocal fragments.

In 2026, OSSSTINATO released LES BORÉADES (Ñ-Records), a diptych inspired by the last lyric tragedy of French composer J. P. Rameau. The A-side unfolds as an atmospheric ouverture, with floating drones, overdriven strings, and orchestral fragments dissolving into the fog. On the flip, hard-edged drums pierce through the haze, pulling the ambience forward and tilting the journey into a left-field house excursion.

Gorriti is currently developing projects centered on works by Händel, Pergolesi, Mozart, Schumann and Liszt, among others.
