Leticia Castaneda is an audio engineer and sound artist living in Los Angeles, California. Recent compositions examine the ability to abandon personal inhibitions while simultaneously reacting to acoustical interference. The quality or the protean nature of amplification has a direct affect upon Castaneda’s composition. Her live work combines extreme external confusion with deep innate clarity to build a dramatic pause of time and sound. Notable performances have included Wooden Octopus Festival, Seattle, WA; An Audible Instigation Toward the Discovery of Instant Confession, Ausland, Berlin; Beyond Music Festival, Beyond Baroque, Venice, CA; Center for Experiments in Art, Information, and Technology CEAIT Festival, Cal Arts, Valencia, CA; Sound Shift, Big Sur, CA; American Composer’s Forum Salon 15, Los Angeles, CA; Line Space Line Festival of Improvised and Experimental Music, Los Angeles, CA and SOLIDS present MOMENTUM-A Sculptural Arts Exhibition, Los Angeles, CA. These events encompassed solo improvisation, solo composition exhibition, playback and discussion, audio environments to accompany sculpture, collaborative improvisation. direction of an audio drama with actors and site-specific installation. Collaborative partners have included Lionel Marchetti, Jerome Noetinger, Jessica Catron, Mitchell Brown, Bob Bellerue, Aaron Ximm, Rick Potts, Joseph Hammer, Smegma, Bryan Eubanks, Reynols and Albert Ortega among others. Castaneda sees her practice as aligned with the seminal noise collective the Los Angeles Free Music Society and Fluxus.
