*50 copies limited edition* Based in the US since 2002, Andrea Pensado uses voice and electronics to create her highly idiosyncratic brand of experimental music. A harsh, cut-up sound profile, mixed with the strong emotional component of her music, generates a deeply personal sonic language which inevitably gives rise to intense responses in the most diverse audiences. Pensado exhibits staggering control in her work, utilizing Max MSP to map synthesis parameters into performance gestures. Her music contains an obscured discipline amidst the seeming chaos. Or, as Peter Margasak of the Chicago Reader writes, “…Pensado has an impressive control of her tools - she can suggest recklessness while knowing exactly what she is doing…” This interplay of entropy and order creates a beautiful system of tension and release in the music which can leave an audience awestruck and completely enveloped. Pensado performs extensively in the US and abroad. She also produces Sonorium, a series of experimental music based in Salem, MA.
