​

Born in Maracaibo, Venezuela, Ernesto Montiel is a visual artist, experimental musician, concert organizer, broadcaster, and DJ. Formally trained in architecture, he moved to Dallas in 2015.

 

He is one half of the electroacoustic improvisation duo Monte Espina and has collaborated with artists such as Liz Tonne, Louise Fristensky, Alan F. Jones, Jason Kahn, Rebecca Novak, anne-f jacques, Andrew Weathers, Justin Lemons, Aaron Gonzalez, and Chris Cogburn, among many others.

 

Ernesto began organizing concerts with the Further Sounds/Further Jazz series at The Wild Detectives, where he now serves as music coordinator. He has also curated events at The Texas Theatre, Site 131 art gallery, Fuel City Rooster, and co-ran the now-defunct Molten Plains series and festival in Denton.

 

As a broadcaster, he has produced Sonido Tumbarrancho on KUZU 92.9 LP FM every two weeks for the past eight years. DJing since his early teens, he adopted the moniker Mutarrancho after relocating to Dallas. He is a regular at Dallas Ambient Music Nights, a resident DJ at No Idea Festival since 2017, and this marks his third time DJing for Sonic Transmissions.
