David Vélez

David Vélez is a Colombian sound artist and composer who works with field recordings, found objects, performance and installation. Much of his recent work deals with food and plants: his doctoral research at the University of Huddersfield studied the acoustics of food, and he has run sound experiments on beetroot and tomato plants. He co-founded the label Impulsive Habitat and the platform Sonic Field. Vélez took an MA in Fine Arts at the Universidad Nacional in Bogotá after some years in New York.
