I am a researcher, writer and educator working on sonic communication and geography. Concentrating on shifts in economic and political landscapes, I investigate how these shifts are translated in the sounds that we hear, how we are affected by them, and how we listen and respond. My work is concerned with the ways that sound and communication are shaped by, and shape, our relations to one another, to the architectures and infrastructures around us, to our larger atmospheres and ecologies, and to the forces of power and governance that we experience and intervene in

Cecilia Pereyra

Posted in ALL - experimental, ALL - international, new music on 5-2-15

Cada vez me seduce más el estado hipnótico que tiene el proceso de composición. Es como un viaje, físico y espiritual. Lo interesante –y complejo a la vez- es que, por lo general, no tiene un destino claro. Sin embargo, lo primero e invariable es delinear algún aspecto fundamental del universo de la obra, algo que me empuje, algo que decir.
