"Extended Techniques is a podcast about contemporary music through the lenses of timbral innovations"

"ELECTROCHROMA is a 58ʼ30" audiovisual work that emerged from the manipulation of light to generate imagery as well as using a combination of extended techniques applied to sonic-material sources, including translation of image to sound to create the 5.1 surround audio composition. The work utilizes various analog and digital procedures and a variety of software processes to manipulate the moving image and sound. The workʼs imagery ranges from dark to light monochromatic spheres, shifting dynamics and intensity, including flickering and pulsating patterns, retinal impact, and sensory overloads. The sound composition focuses on timbre, low ends, modulated frequencies, textures, static noises, and electronic sounds moving through space. Other sonic layers were created through the use of electromagnetism, custom electronic sounds, and voices scored for the work and performed in a recording studio by artist Marylea Martha Quintana."

soundartist (1999, Spain) Currently based in Utrecht For me, creating a work always begins with sound research. In my concerts and installations, I explore the boundaries of the concept music using my own made instruments and extended techniques. To perceive sound, you need a source that vibrates (moves) the air and someone who can perceive those vibrations: "Sound is movement". As an artist I communicate with sound waves, with movement. Everything that sounds in my work is "aLive": lively, playful and produced in the moment.
