Carlos
Sandoval is an internationally active
composer and sound artist. He is best known for his work combining technology and a
gestalt approach (The
whole is something more than the sum of its
parts)
to the art of
music
composition and performance. Michael Zwenzner
describes him as a "socio-critical magician
of multimedia-enhanced instrumental
theatre". Cognitive theories of
language as an object and theories about our
inability to differentiate the external
world from our own psyche currently exert a
great influence on his work.
Fields of interest: Democratization
of creativity - Relationship between technology and
discourse - Conceptual speculation on "open" and
"closed" spaces - Non-solfeistic musical coding -
Disruption of free improvisation - Use of video as a
compositional pencil - Use of interpretative
imprecisions as an aesthetic resource - Rhythm of
spoken language as a reference of musical composition -
Soundscape as an anthropological-constructive mother
cell of the creative drive.
