Proyects

Vania Fortuna & Islas de la Tierra Firme is a Mexican ensemble that arises from a question about a possible display of lacustrine identity corresponding to the origins of the Valley of Mexico, where, despite being solid land, there were islands and islets within the boundaries of Lake Texcoco, where the ancient city of Tenochtitlán was founded.

​

In this ensemble, each element is considered an island—communicating with the others through sound, suggesting an exercise in metonymy between the lake, its islands, the musicians, and the sound. Music made from Mexico City.

The Mexican sextet Selvanegra, formed in 2016, presents an original music proposal that explores the sounds of the culture of southern Pacific Mexico with influences from Latin American jazz, as well as the use of live soundscapes. The project is co-directed by Vania Fortuna

'All That's Solid Melts into Air’ (2024) is a solo set for voice and electronics. An exploration of the materiality of sound through the intervention of field recordings and vocal improvisation as a gesture towards the works of Karl Marx and L. Wittgenstein. A question about concrete listening.
