ABOUT
ÁNGELES ROJAS (b. 1988) is a composer whose work centers on listening as a sensitive means of inhabiting other perceptions of time and space. She explores resonance, vibration, intonation, and the harmonic spectrum, including microtonal beating and subtle fluctuations that emerge through sustained tones and durational forms. Her music unfolds slowly, allowing the immanent structure of sound to become perceptible over time.
Working with instruments such as shruti box, tambura, organ, and ensembles, she develops pieces that investigate unity as a resonant field where differences blur and converge. Through sustained tones and interwoven spectra, timbres dissolve into zones of indistinction, where stillness and movement are experienced as part of a dynamic whole. Her practice spans composition, performance, and installation, often realized in collaborative and site-sensitive contexts.
She has participated in festivals including MaerzMusik, Experimentik, RUIDO (Argentina), Tsonami (Chile), Ding-Dong (Norway), 48 Stunden Neukölln (Germany), Darmstadt (Germany), Klangraum (Germany), Fiestohr (Switzerland), Atemporánea (Argentina), Ciclo de Música Contemporánea del Teatro San Martín (Argentina), FIBA (Argentina), Mixtur (Spain) and Co-Incidence Festival (US).
Her work has been presented in venues such as Berliner Festspiele, the National Auditorium of the Centro Cultural Kirchner (CCK), CheLA, Centro Cultural Recoleta, Teatro San Martín, Parque Cultural de Valparaíso, KM28, Sowieso and Alte Feuerwache, among others.
Her discography includes releases on Sawyer Editions (US), Sello Postal (Argentina), and Rumiarec (Argentina), featuring works for shruti box, guitar quartet, and archlute. Her music has been performed by ensembles such as Pulse String Quartet (Germany), Kommas Ensemble (Germany), Hapax Kollektiv (Germany), Å Ensemble (Norway), Hemiptera (Portugal), MEI Flutes (Argentina), Nuntempe Ensamble (Argentina), Compañía Oblicua (Argentina), Cámara XXI (Argentina), and Ensamble Vocal de la UNTREF (Argentina). She is also a member of the Isub Meta Orchestra (Switzerland), where she performs on shruti box, and in 2025 was awarded the Special Prize for Music at the Swiss Music Prizes.
Originally from Argentina, she studied composition at the Universidad Nacional del Arte in Buenos Aires and is currently based in Berlin.
