ENGLISH
Carlos Sandoval
(b. Mexico City) is a
freelance composer, musician and sound artist. For about
two decades, he has worked in computes-assisted
composition and performance. His actual setup is based on random-patches and stage-improvisation. As a composer, he has left behind
ideas of predetermination and control in favor of
a creative collaboration with stage-artists in general. He founded
The Tilt Group in 2005,
focused on technology, nature and gestures. He founded
also the
Interaktion
Festival in Berlin (2006), now in its third edition.
Dissident at the
Mexican National School of Music,
later he privately studied composition and theory with
J. Estrada (1985-90).
He studied also piano-design & tuning at the Bösendorfer
House
in Vienna (1980-82). He was Conlon Nancarrow’s assistant
(1991-94) and is now a SNCA fellow (Mex. 1999-05 and 2008-11). He has never submitted his works to composition
contests and has no relationship with academics, yet he has been teaching,
as freelancer, composition and
improvisation as complementary strategies at the UdK in Berlin .
He is based now in Berlin-Kreuzberg, Germany.
