Composer and sound artist Micaela Tobin wields her soprano voice against the confines of convention, specializing in experimental and contemporary realms of opera and noise. From her Los Angeles homebase, Micaela focuses on building connections between the physical voice and one’s “inner” voice as a means of empowerment, challenging colonial stories and systems. Integrating voice with electronics, ritualized gesture, and amplified object-symbolism, she weaves dynamic music that is at once alluring and demanding.
