Gemma Ragués Pujol

Composer, writer and performer specialized in contemporary and experimental music.

Her pieces seek to be absurd, puzzling and funny. An alliance between voice, text, acoustic instruments, performance, electronics and a lot of force on stage. She uses text and poetry to build up stories and dramaturgies full of onirism, humour and conceptual dilemmas. Recently she is passionate about repetition.

She has performed alone in venues like la Biennale di Venezia Musica 2022 and her works have been premiered by ensembles such as Basel Sinfonietta, Neue Vocalsolisten, Collegium Novum Zürich, VORTEX Ensemble, the Biel Symphony Orchestra, NEC or NEKO3, beyond others, in festivals such as Venice Biennale, ECLAT, Klang Copenhagen, Jardins Musicaux or Musikfestival Bern.
