gemma ragués pujol *1993
Composer, writer and performer specialized in contemporary and experimental music.
Her pieces find its ground in the acoustic palette and its root in deep conceptual and poetic ideas. Works often in the crossovers between voice and electronics, physical presence and performance. She uses text and poetry to build up stories and dramaturgies full of onirism and humour.
She has performed alone in big venues like la Biennale di Venezia Musica 2022, Tafelhalle Nürnberg and her works have been premiered by ensembles such as Neue Vocalsolisten, VORTEX Ensemble, the Biel Symphony Orchestra, NEC or NEKO3, beyond others, in festivals such as Venice Biennale, ECLAT, Jardins Musicaux or Musikfestival Bern.
