I am an improviser-composer whose work traverses the space between social structures, individuality, spontaneity, and explores resonance in physical as well as cultural space. Through extreme extended techniques, I challenge conventional instrument playing, exploring the possibilities and limits of sounds within an instrument. My music is informed by political, social, and cultural awareness of the systems constituting our societies.
Growing up in Mexico and regularly crossing the border to study in San Diego, questions of migration, access, and agency remain central to my practice. I view performers as active collaborators whose unique histories, instincts, and lived experiences shape the music alongside me. This collaborative impulse has led me to work across different cultural and geographic contexts through creative projects and residencies. My work is about creating intentional spaces where people can experiment, bring their whole selves, and bring different ways of knowing into conversation with one another through sound.
I have participated in Manifesté-IRCAM (FR), Darmstadt Summer Course (DE), OneBeat Taiwan (TW), Composers Conference (USA), Experimental Institute at Antenna Cloud Farm (USA), Ensemble Evolution (USA), Karp Kamina Residency (Togo), ANMA+NordPlus Music Forum (EE), Dark Music Days (IS), Time for Music (FI), ActinArt (DK) among others. I hold degrees from Universidad Autónoma de Baja California, Boston Conservatory at Berklee, Listaháskoli Íslands and I am enrolled at the University of California-San Diego.
