Paula Sanchez

Situated at the intersections of experimental music, free improvisation and performance art,  the work of PAULA SANCHEZ is centered on the composition/decomposition and  destruction/re-construction of a mutable sound space. With a markedly interdisciplinary  profile she first found her voice as a performer, interpreter and composer in the fields of  theatre and performance, highlighted by her participation in the experimental stage  collective Ob-caenum—an important presence in the province of San Juan in Argentina where she completed her musical studies at the National University. Later she earned two  Master’s Degrees—in Improvisation at the Musik Akademie in Basel and in Contemporary  Art Practice/Sound Art at Bern University of Art, Switzerland. Paula stands out for her use of  extended techniques, working with materials like plastic, glass and elements from nature  combined with voice and electronics. Hers is the pure presence of an embodied sound which invents its relationships as it makes its way into nothingness.
