Oscar Abril Ascaso + Sedcontra form in 1990. The same year they self-release their first work on audiocassette, produced by Anki Toner, in a limited edition of 50 copies, which sell out immediately. From then, Oscar Abril Ascaso + Sedcontra will refrain from releasing their soundworks, apart from their very occasional involvement in a few compilations, concentrating exclusively on their radio programmes and live concerts.
In 1991, they perform their first concert in a neodadaist festival, and are forced to leave the stage by the organizers of the event. Rarely performing in public, during the next five years they will perform only about ten more concerts.
In the first half of the nineties, the Oscar Abril Ascaso + Sedcontra concerts will be characterized by the use of microphone feedback, shouts, noise, industrial sounds, a variety of material from record albums, and by their loopism (notably, they are considered the inventors of the clot system, which consists of applying an adhesive tape ball onto the vinyl surface of a record in order to stop the advance of the turntableís needle at a random point). At the same time, they will do their own radio programme for six years, also called Oscar Abril Ascaso + Sedcontra, in the independent radio station Radio Pica of Barcelona, where they will broadcast their studio productions.
In 1996, Oscar Abril Ascaso + Sedcontra split up, and three years later start working together again. During 1999, they prepare their new sound formulations, and in 2000 they return to the stage with a concert at the Experimentaclub'00 music festival, organized in Madrid by the record label Por Caridad Producciones.
At this new point in time, Oscar Abril Ascaso + Sedcontra will start working with the possibilities offered by computer audio software, continuing a personal sound experience begun ten years before.
At present, their work is focused on establishing an on-line programme through their own website.
