Angélica Negrón Performs on Plant Art, Live at The Greene Space

Soundcheck | Oct 14, 2021

Puerto Rican composer/performer/educator Angélica Negrón, who writes tiny and big sounds for chamber ensembles, orchestras, films, plants, robots and drag queens, joins us for the Soundcheck Podcast. She is also The Greene Space Artist-In-Residence who hosted/curated El Living Room, a funhouse variety show involving plant and robot instruments, comedy, and mixed-media sets. 

Angélica takes us into her sensory world, and explains how her overlapping creative adventures feed into each other – say writing for the Dallas Symphony or for drag queens, or for the dreambow band, Balún. She offers a live performance - triggering sounds via plant art, programmed surface poppers, and hidden computers into a sonic dreamscape. 

Set list: “Sembrar,” “Pasajero”:

Hang out in the sonic playground of El Living Room, with the first episode out Oct. 14 from The Greene Space:
