Bericochea debuted on Hawtin’s M_nus in 2003 with the EP ‘A’, and released his debut full length, ‘Rojo’, the same year. Here’s what xlr8r said about Rojo: “It's only coincidence that Ignacio Aguilera Bericochea's name is so reminiscent of the cochlea, that bony, shell-shaped part of the inner ear that's the heart of our hearing, but how fitting it is. I.A. Bericochea's music, a profoundly thinned-out minimal techno that's more absent than present, offers the profoundest kind of intense listening, grounded with bass that reverberates deep in the body and graced with white noise that seems to graze the very surface of the ear drum, like summer grasses brushing against weathered cement. "Rojo-like red eye," which reflects blood vessels in the eye of a photographed subject-is a journey into the pulsing heart of sound."
And The Wire: “Bericochea brings just enough emotional edge and sonic vibrancy to his dry minimalist beats and deep quavering bass patterns to give them a stealthy, unsettling life of their own. His compositions seem to come out of nowhere, accumulating an undeniable presence that lingers on long after the final shudder”
I.A. Bericochea’s next album, Sueño (2006), was mastered by Stefen Betke (aka Pole) and released on a label created for the purpose called Rojo.it.
Textura said: “There's no question the Basic Channel-Chain Reaction spirit is alive and well on I.A. Bericochea's forty-minute Sueño ... 'Sueño' means 'dream' in Spanish and there's certainly a spectral quality to the material ... Often sounding as if it was recorded in a hollow chamber, Bericochea's minimal techno manages to sound both skeletal and full, as showers of cymbal patterns, groaning bass lines, echoing reverberations, and skipping pulses come to the fore and then recede.”
The evasive and mysterious qualities of Beriochea’s sound arise from his broad exploration of sound in diverse contexts. In 1995 started playing bass in bands: metal, punk and instrumental. The best known was Actitud de Rechazo, a metal band that played in Spain, the most curious was Carosi, an emo-hardcore band which did an aventure to tour the west coast of the USA and Mexico.
In the early 00s following a stint studying physics at the University of Madrid, Ignacio Aguilera started to record found sounds, experimenting with beats and transformations, finding imediate success with his solo projects for with M_nus. Bericochea’s tracks have graced several minus compilations and mixes in the last few year, including DE9 Transitions and Magda’s ‘She’s a dancing machine’. He has toured solo throughout Spain and Mexico.

I. A. Bericochea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
散场的啤酒摇滚乐 被遗忘在夏天
未来好远 谁都不怕告别
爱我的和我爱过的 都是轻狂岁月
我还记得 滂沱大雨中 奔跑过的街
大大的天 小小屋檐 最单纯的世界
我还记得 日落的小镇 飞翔的野雁
突然 了解 为什么我们 最后 要说再见
都是我们爱过恨过疯过的纪念
I remember everyday 在你离开我的那一天
没有遗憾 记住了永远
熟悉小店 依旧卖着思念
翻开你搞怪的照片 却翻不回昨天
带走感谢 我不带走从前
倔强的青春多固执 用伤口作纪念
我还记得 滂沱大雨中 奔跑过的街
大大的天 小小屋檐 最单纯的世界
我只记得 说过要一起 追逐的蓝天
突然 发现 逝去那些年 都让 我好怀念
I remember everyday 收藏的笑与泪
都是我们爱过恨过疯过的纪念
I remember everyday 在你离开我的那一天
没有遗憾 记住了永远
I remember everyday 收藏的笑与泪
都是我们爱过恨过疯过的纪念
I remember everyday 在你离开我的那一天
没有遗憾 记住了永远
I remember everyday 写下的每一页
都是我们 最爱的 最恨的 最疯狂 最想念
I remember everyday 在我想起你的这一天
手紧握着知足的眼泪
忘了遗憾 记住了 永远
The lyrics of "Remember" by I. A. Bericochea evoke a sense of nostalgia and bittersweet memories of love and loss. The song opens with vivid imagery of the salty sea breeze gently brushing against one's brow, setting a wistful tone. The scene transitions to a forgotten summer, with the remnants of a rock concert and spilled beer symbolizing moments left behind in the past. The uncertainty of the future is acknowledged, but the defiance in facing goodbyes is palpable, as the singer reflects on the carefree days of youth.
As the lyrics delve deeper into the memories, the singer recalls running through the streets in a downpour, finding solace under a simple roof, and cherishing the innocence of a bygone era. The imagery of a small town at sunset and wild geese in flight conjures a longing for simpler times and the realization that all things must eventually come to an end. It's a contemplation on the inevitability of farewells and the sentimentality attached to shared experiences, both joyful and painful.
The chorus serves as a poignant refrain, emphasizing the act of remembering each day as a collection of laughter and tears, symbolizing the emotional rollercoaster of love, heartbreak, and madness that shapes our lives. The repetition of "I remember everyday" underscores the importance of cherishing every moment, even those tinged with sadness or regret. The lyrics convey a sense of closure and acceptance, as the singer acknowledges the permanence of certain memories and the wisdom gained from past experiences.
In the final verses, the singer reminisces about familiar places and quirky photographs, unable to turn back time but carrying gratitude for the journey taken. The defiance of youth and the scars of the past are honored as a form of remembrance, highlighting the beauty found in persevering through pain and growth. The closing lines express a sense of contentment in holding onto memories, letting go of regrets, and embracing the enduring power of love that transcends time. "Remember" encapsulates a journey of self-discovery, acceptance of loss, and the enduring legacy of love that remains etched in the heart forever.
