DA ROCHA UM is da Rocha’s solo project, where he develops his ethereal and industrial sound through experimental ambient music.

including Kor’sia, Richard Mascherin, and laSADCUM. With audiovisual pieces and video installations he has collaborated on with artists such as Ana Esteve Reig, Acacia Ojea, and Fede Coll and has had works exhibited in Buenos Aires, Madrid, and Granada.
