Violeta García is a cellist, composer and curator from Buenos Aires, Argentina, based in Bern, Switzerland. Working across a broad spectrum of artforms including improvisation, contemporary classical and electronic music, she now presents her new album IN/OUT via Bongo Joe. After dedicating years to the study of classical and popular music on the violoncello, and later delving into contemporary composition and improvisation, Garcia came to the realization that her unique musical voice yearned to transcend specific genres, and she has embarked on extensive tours throughout Europe and around the globe, showcasing her work as a soloist, collaborator and with her experimental rock project, Blanco Teta. In 2015, she co-founded Latin America digital label TVL-REC, dedicated to the production of experimental and improvised music. For IN/OUT, Garcia worked with expanded cello techniques, recorded in a cave in Geneva, Switzerland, which once housed the city's water reservoir. Employing the resonance of the natural acoustics of the site as a sound body, Garcia fuses improvisation, composition and new sounds, actively engaging in experimentation with extended techniques and prepared instrument, whilst exploring dynamic, rhythmic, and original melodic combinations.
