If I was you

In If I was you, Clara de Asís interweaves slow-evolving electronic patterns on analog synthesizer with small percussion. Through different degrees of amplification, these elements shift in presence and relation, generating spontaneous interactions across frequencies and spaces. The piece reflects on the ambiguity of sound’s identity—how it takes shape over time and how it blurs. Moving between stability and uncertainty, it draws attention to the embodied process of
perception.

Clara de Asís is an artist and experimental composer engaged with the correlations of acoustics, temporality and the praxis of attention. Her work addresses questions regarding sound perception and how it is shaped by specific social and material contexts. She uses electronics and sound synthesis along with idiosyncratic combinations of found objects and traditional instrumentation; and creates works of different formats encompassing performance, audio pieces and installations.

In addition to her solo practice, she has created a variety of works in association with other artists, including interdisciplinary collaborations in film and dance. She has performed extensively across Europe, the United States and South America; and has been an artist-in-residence at Experimental Sound Studio (Chicago), Tsonami (Valparaíso), Q-O2 (Brussels), EMS (Stockholm), and Sonic Acts (Amsterdam), among others.
