Artist Biographies

"Paula Sánchez is a foreigner who works with sounds and the body to the limit
on the
destruction
composition / decomposition
of a mutable sound space.

In the pure presence
of an incarnate sound

who invents his relationships
As she makes her way into nothingness."

-Paula Sanchez Website 1/14/2026

Sanchez, Paula
Pressure Sensitive
(Relative Pitch)
Recorded in Switzerland in 2021, Argentinian cellist and interdisciplinary artist Paula Sanchez pushes the cello to its sonic limits through six radical performances that merge acoustic and processed sound, combining cello, cellophane, and ring modulation to evoke a visceral, poetic, and at times merciless exploration of embodied sound and ephemeral transformation.
