SARA MUÑIZ Numen

A composer and musicologist from Gijón, Sara Muñiz’s work revolves around the sonic exploration of the piano and string instruments, creating soundscapes that move between contemporary classical music and ambient. She maintains a strong interest in recursion, repetition and drone, in a search for introspective, altered states of consciousness.

In 2003 she released her first solo album, Animus, an intimate place-based project shaped through soundscapes that examine the dialogue between the self and its psychogeographical surroundings. In parallel, Sara develops transdisciplinary collaboration with other artists such as Kela Coto (visual art), Tania González (contemporary dance), composer Clara Brea, and filmmaker Ramón Lluis Bande

With her latest project, Numen, she explores the soundscape of territory, where music generates an organic habitat, giving form to the most numinous and mysterious dimensions of reality. Through the transformed sound of the viola and the creation of layered textures using loops, the work unfolds across a series of evocative states that invite listeners to navigate their own intimate cartographies.
