Felisha Ledesma is an interdisciplinary artist and organiser, Sound Artist and musician, based in Berlin, and Portland, Oregon. Ledesma founded and directs a project/art space that hosts live experimental music, performance and visual art as well as being the physical headquarters for the Synth Library – a renting facility for electronic music equipment.
Felisha talked us through her most recent body of work, which entailed designing and conceptualising a synthesiser, AMQR, together with instrument designer Ess Mattisson, which was subsequently used on Ledesma’s releases for labels Ecstatic Recordings and ‘Enmossed x Psychic Liberation’. This groundbreaking collaboration led to the formation of ‘Fors’, a music technology project creating software instruments.
Felisha has an upcoming, 6-channel sound exhibition entitled ‘corner of my eye’
“The birds chirp, theirs calls cutting in and out of the breathing sound of wafting conversation, I can pick out individual words, but strung together these exchanges mean nothing to me. The only thing is sometimes I feel like I learned the key to the universe but cant quite remember it”.
