Itz\u00e1 Garc\u00eda (b.1993, M\u00e9xico) Itz\u00e1 Garc\u00eda (b. 1993, M\u00e9xico) is a composer focused on time, intimacy, and machine aesthetics in technology-mediated art music. Her work engages the transformations of acoustic instruments under technological mediation (augmented, extended, or dissolved into gestural interfaces). In recent work, she has redesigned instrumental parts to alter the tunning of instruments and has fed field recordings of weathered instruments into neural networks, embedding time and texture into the timbre of AI-generated sound. Through her duo \u201cImmediate Ensemble\u201d Itz\u00e1 has developed improvisations for Virtual Reality environments and live electronics.<\/p>\n<\/external-link-icon><\/div>\n\n

\n

Her work has been performed at the Ars Electronica Festival, the New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival (NYCEMF), the Mise-En Festival, the Miami Art Week MUD Foundation Sound of Art Program, among others. Performing artists include JACK Quartet, Ensemble Musikfabrik, Yarn\/Wire, Talea Ensemble, Ensamble CEPROMUSIC, PinkNoise, and Mise-En Ensemble. She has been recognized by the Atlantic Center for the Arts, the ICST Artist Residency at the Zurich University of the Arts, and the CONACYT Grant for Graduate Studies (2018). She also received the Art Science Connect Fellowship for her work co-organizing the innovation:SOUND:technology series.<\/p>\n<\/external-link-icon><\/div>\n\n

\n

Itz\u00e1 is currently based in New York City, pursuing a Ph.D. degree in composition at The Graduate Center, CUNY. She is co-founder and co-organizer of the overdrive electronic music festival in New York.<\/p>\n<\/external-link-icon><\/div>\n\n

\n

Her project at EMS includes composing a work for sensor-augmented performer and live electronics. This will be a continuation from previous projects that integrate sensor interfaces such as eye-trackers (self-designed), gyroscopes and motion tracking sensors.<\/p>\n<\/external-link-icon><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
