This project is the result of an artistic exploration carried out in Arica, the (present-day) Chilean city bordering Peru and Bolivia, in the middle of the Atacama Desert. It consists of 5 works as diverse as the territory they inhabit.
This sound bridge invites the listener to explore the geometric dimension of nature, which evokes the fractal complexity of the organisms that inhabit our planet. From a space broccoli to any terrestrial organism, this sound world reveals the beauty and uniqueness that emerges from a mathematizable dimension.
The project in hand finds its main inspiration in the work of Steven Feld (2020) and the painting "The Girl at the Window" by Salvador Dalí. It is an exploration of the sounds emanating from the author's bedroom window over the course of a full day.
The piece begins with the resonant sound of a struck wooden box, which initially appears empty and useless, but reveals contents that transport the viewer to worlds both real and fantastical.
The listening piece Resonant paths is proposed as a reflection on the visual hegemony of the paints of the yajé plant, (images emerging from the ceremony of ayahuasca or yajé). The popularization of paints
as a way of recognizing the culture of the plant, is part of the cultural extractivism of which it has been a victim since the eighteenth century, which unbalances the multi-species relationships between human and non-human people involved in it and its environment.
It is an intriguing concept that explores the paradox of how unstable or chaotic elements can give the illusion of stability, despite their underlying chaotic nature. This phenomenon can lead to unexpected surprises and challenges when sudden changes or collapses occur.
This work, in its random and real-time gestation, is inspired by the sound translation of various parts of the DNA sequence (ATGC) of E.coli bacteria. It provides a collective-personal listening experience that explores the concept of the "individual immersive" piece, immersing us in the most intimate part of our stomach and gut microbiota, inviting us to explore a possible genetic memory.
It is joy in the darkness, humanity that frees itself.

This sound creation is constructed as a narrative. Its title offers clues to help the listener understand the story. Composed of multiple sounds, coming from different places, the composition is articulated around the idea of counterpoint.
Piece for recorder and track based on the song of the Venezuelan bird "Violinero" Cyphorhinus arada. The recorder imitates the bird against the track made exclusively with synthesis (modular synthesizers).
In an internal quest, the expedition members decide to enter the enigmatic cave of the stems in the Ecuadorian Amazon, surrounded by numerous stories. The transformation they experience is almost mystical.
This work explores the relocation and adaptation to a new territory, in this case, the city of Madrid, Spain. It is based on field recordings during walks, which are integrated as routine through reiteration.
Sound experimentation based on a real case. In March 2020, the stranding of a sei whale was reported in the waters of Tierra del Fuego, Patagonia, Chile, with no culprits found.
Capturing a police radio broadcast together with a religious transmission, in times where the decadence of thoughts bifurcate from several perspectives, from a believing country, between security and faith.
An exploration of the sounds of a time when nature was the author's sound reference: "Nature was my sound reference, I lived near a forest, the sounds I heard marked my primary memories, water was essential in my listening, the sounds produced by the wind generate well-being in my mood and the encounter with sounds of objects such as skate wheels, the rattle and the resonance of a glass of wine, is a landscape like a kind of still life, very intimate but at the same time very universal".
In this work, an electric bass becomes more than just a musical instrument; it is a sound object used in an innovative way. With the accompaniment of a rhythmic effects pedal, the artist manages to create unique tonal and rhythmic variations.

This sound piece focuses on the exploration of natural harmony, showing how human beings can connect with it, feeling comfortable in the environment of the river and its surroundings, as if they were on a path or in a home.
Generative sound piece created in Pure Data from samples of field recordings in different parts of the cities of Barranquilla and Puerto Colombia, places where the author lives, works and circulates.
Electroacoustic soundscape conceived during the author's artistic residency at Medienfrische in Tirol, Austria, in 2023, as part of the acousmatic work Ignis Fatuus.
Sound art piece integrated in the proposal for the dissemination of the Final Report of the Truth Commission in the context of the Colombian armed conflict, known as Ritual Readings.
This piece is the product of a biosonification process, which uses galvanic measurements of plants and mushrooms grown in a controlled environment and under human observation. It is part of the Technopoiesis artwork, which explores the possibilities of cross-species creation.

The soundscape is the result of a field trip by the authors to the Barbas Bremen nature reserve in Pereira, in order to explore the sonority of that environment.
A soundscape that delves into the auditory experiences of a 102-year-old woman with senile dementia, with almost complete absence of sight, hearing, speech and physical paralysis.
When the author listens to the sound of a palm leaf dragging on the ground, she experiences a deep sense of longing for the distant landscape of Valle del Cauca. This environment evokes sensory memories and moments of listening that have left a marked impression on her personal aesthetics and her artistic works.
This work is part of the series "Cartografías de agua", the result of a master's degree research that explores the transformation of El Garabato in the midst of the urban growth of Poblado - Comuna 14 in Medellín.
