Andrea Sanz-Vela

Andrea Sanz-Vela is a violist whose work is represented in Creative Sources' catalogue of experimental and freely improvised music. Her playing uses the bowed-string instrument as an independent voice within collective performance, exploring the contrast between sustained notes and fragile acoustic sounds.

The viola's range of pitch, resonance and bow pressure permits a flexible response to the changing gestures of other musicians. In these recordings, instrumental roles can shift as the performers construct musical form together. Sanz-Vela's participation belongs to an international network of exploratory chamber music; further independent information about her education and other projects is limited.
