Lara Alarcón

Lara Alarcón (ARG/DE) is a vocalist, composer and improviser.

Her VQ performances/compositions implement the idea of prosthetic dialectics by the use and support of large amplifications, pedals, noise devices and other sonic complexities, with some extending to live video, live coding and within electroacoustic formats like electric trio, strings, and solo performances.

Her music engages the listener in an intense way by using strong changes in dynamics and a firm stage presence. Her performances push borders in disciplines and genre, always looking to engage her eclectic knowledge, background and experience.

She has performed and toured through Europe and South America in venues and festivals such as Teatro Argentino, Centro de Arte Sonoro ARG, Proyecto Amil PE, Prozess Bern CH, Maerzmusik Berlin, Punctum CZ, ACUD macht neu DE, Heimathafen DE, Ignorantka PL, Kunstraum Bethanien DE, Small Forms Vienna, Língua Fora São Paulo, Audio Rebel Rio de Janeiro, Porta São Paulo, Conservatory of music Brooklyn, among others, and has participated in residencies such as CTM Festival hacklab, SIM NYC, International Contemporary Ensemble NYC.
