About the Artist

Based in the US since 2002, Pensado uses voice and electronics to make her music. She studied in Argentina and Poland where she graduated in Composition with honors at the Krakow Academy of Music. However, after extensive composition practice, her music started to gradually move away from conventional composition. Nowadays, she mainly uses digital media and live interactive systems to perform. Her voice is constantly interwoven in the performances.  The approach to both programming and performance is highly intuitive. The harsh cut up noise result, mixed with the strong emotional component of her music, generates a deeply personal sonic language. Occasionally, the combination of the performance situation, the often abrasive sounds, the irrational use of the voice and the inherent uncertainty of improvisations contributes to discoveries of unknown places in her mind. 

Pensado performs extensively in the US and abroad. She also produces Sonorium, a series of experimental music based in Salem, MA.
