SOUND
Since the beginning of the pandemic, Ángel has changed their approach to music making and music sharing by cultivating an experimental practice through the use of soft instruments, DAWs, field recordings, and the changing of their voice due to hormone therapy.
​
Upon debuting as a film director for the 2023 Third World Newsreel Filmmaking Fellowship, Ángel has begun to focus on sound and music for film. Their familiarity with microphones, mixing, and producing, as well as their love of film, has naturally evolved into the world of sound design.
