Rêverie
Sample based synthesis,
ethereal sounds & a powerful message. An imaginary of female voices, harmonics and the depths of sonic resistance. A piece about creating imaginaries of resitance through the embodiment and resignification of the female voice
En mi piel resuena tu lucha
(On my skin echoes your fight)
A collaboration between Radio UNAM's program Violeta y Oro, using archival soundscapes from the 8th of March protests in Mexico City- A solemn, yet agitated tide of voices chanting about women's rights and gender equality. Luminiscent tones that glide on a pool of shimmering resonance, and undulating textures.
Paisaje Acústico
(Acoustic landscape)
Dreamy pads, lush evolving echoes and a safe space for reflection about identity and sound.
La sensación de ti
(The feeling of you)
Subtle waves of melancholic ambience that filter into a prism of dreamy tones. Piano mechanics with large sustains and whimsical pads.
Latente luminancia
(Simmering Radiance)
Crystal sounds with a touch of softness and enchanting soundscapes. Meditative and bright, a paradox evolves from within the sharp edges of sonic surfaces and soft resonance.
Berlin
Patterned, poli-rhythmic soundscape to reminiscence upon places and people. Washed out melodies and irregular tones. The memory thrives, the phantoms resurge within melodic auras.
Enraizada
(Deep Rooted)
Experimental, innocent and playful. Orchestral samples, piano and a bit of violin. A first take on musical structures and language. Pure and delicate.
In between languages, I drifted into an imaginary ocean full of sounds and poetry.
The following pieces were produced for the prominent museum Jumex in the heart of Mexico City
Exhibition: First Scene: entre caballos de fuerza y caballos de vapor, by Josué Mejía
