As a sound artist I use different media and strategies for the production of my works: field recordings, ephemeral installations, participatory and relational practices, action art, written media, video, photography and experimental music sessions.
I’m interested in working with sound because of the properties it contains as a means of information and communication. Sounds, sound experiences, bring us memories and emotions, they help us to communicate, to locate us in space, time and context. They help us to understand the places we inhabit, to know how we relate to people and to ourselves.
That's why I make the recordings mainly in social environments, whether urban or rural, I record the sound of public spaces but also of casual conversations.
In that sense, my sound works start from listening to the soundscape; my works are always made taking into account the origin and content of the recordings made: the acoustic characteristics of the spaces, their echoes and natural reverberations, close or distant sounds, continuous or discontinuous sounds, the textures, the frequencies, but above all their social characteristics, their voices, the sounds produced by the people themselves.
I have been fortunate to be able to present my work in different countries of Abya Yala, Asia and Europe. However, this is the first publication that I make about my sound improvisation sessions, in which I compile sessions that I have done in different places.
In my sets I like to combine the electronic sound of synthesizers with field recordings. Before each improvisation I usually already know which synthesizers, effects and recordings I am going to use. But at the very moment of making the music I let myself be carried away by listening, intuition and imagination. And I let, as much as possible, the two sound worlds, the electronic sounds and the field recordings, integrate in an organic way, whether at a rhythmic, temporal or timbral level. And at the same time, I try to leave the unexpected that can happen in an improvisation session.
