From 8 September to 16 September 2025, Ana González Gamboa will be at ICST for her Studio Residency as part of Prix CIME 2023.
Ana Gamboa is a composer and cellist. Her journey with music and sound began at home, where her family was connected to the radio industry. She started studying music at 16, and until age 18, she worked in radio production and technical operations. In 2010, she moved to Buenos Aires, where she trained as a musician, cellist, and composer, shaping her career as an artist. Through her musical practice, she aims to create soundscapes that transcend specific genres, drawing inspiration from her travels throughout Latin America. This journey has allowed her to absorb and reinterpret contemporary voices from the region, helping her break away from Eurocentric perspectives that often dominate global music appreciation. Since 2016, she has been working in self-managed spaces, relying on local networks, with her approach shaped by the challenges of accessing resources and formal platforms that support non-traditional sound creation in Latin America.
