If you are singer, instrumentalist, composer, interested in a collaboration or whatever, text me.

The first time i made music (without knowing it), was when i walked from school to our home, and with my tongue and mouth i made strange sounds only i could hear, in order to add some drum-fills or some variety to the underlying 2/2 beat of my feet just walking. 
Maybe the first drumkit ever. Humans walking, dividing time into a repeatable pattern of 2 steps. And then, in the evening, right next to the bonfire, they were singing the storys of their journey, about their losses
and their great hunting sucesses, still having that beat in their bones. one-two-one-two...


Play the music loud, through a good system or headphones, and unbiased. That gives the artists the chance to present their work in a proper manner, and will also give you the best experience as a listener. Some stuff is the result of months or even years of sweat and tears, passion, doubt, hard work, love and fears. So even if you don't give me any money, give me at least the certainty that it wasn't in vain, and take a good listen.

Macarena Rosmanich, a Chilean composer based in Germany, is one of the most active international voices of a growing scene of Latin American female composers. Although her career has developed mainly in Europe, her eagerness to motivate future female composers in her country of origin, makes her have permanent contact with the contemporary Chilean scene. 
The concept of intertextuality is at the center of her work. Each piece is linked to other pieces, through elements that are then developed in a new context, generating a universe that interacts and evolves internally. This universe is not isolated, but also discusses or is inspired by narrative literature, poetry, art, as well as social and political events.  All this works as an engine that triggers a flow of sound relationships that give rise to her work. 
"The close relationship between compositional work and literature, has led me to conceive spaces that complement each other and merge into a unity through music. My approach seeks to provide the poetic form with a new temporal dimension, a sort of collaboration between sound and word that transcends conventional boundaries. In essence, my purpose is to blur the boundaries of pre-existing form and structure in a work, rearranging them in such a way as to configure a new work, thus redefining the essence of the original. This process not only involves a stylistic transformation, but also seeks to open up new routes of interpretation, allowing the musical composition to dialogue in a unique way with the poetry and, in turn, establish a richer and more dynamic connection with time."
Her work ranges from chamber and vocal music to works for orchestra and musical theatre. She has worked with numerous international soloists, orchestras and ensembles, such as Musikfabrik, Kommas, Via Nova, Mosaik, Recherche, Multilatérale, United Instruments of Lucilin, KNM Berlin, Vertixe Sonora, L'ART POUR L'ART, Reflexion K, Broken Frames Syndicate, among others. 
Her works have been performed in Latin America, Germany, France, Italy, England, Spain and Luxembourg. 
She studied at the University of Chile where she graduated with distinction and continued her postgraduate studies with composer José María Sánchez Verdú at the Robert Schumann Musikhochschule in Düsseldorf and later a master's degree in composition at the University of Freiburg with Johannes Schöllhorn.
Macarena Rosmanich lives and works in Cologne, Germany.

“Araya dio cuenta de una gran musicalidad en su instrumento, traducida en coherentes fraseos y un notable acercamiento estilístico.” “…la claridad de Araya en la digitación y las articulaciones…transportaron al auditorio desde la melancolía introspectiva a la pasión desbordante.”
