Ana Foutel (Buenos Aires, Argentina). Pianist, composer and performer who builds her work from the destruction of a safe place towards an insatiable and engaged search of its own language along an intense professional career, which takes her to outstand today as one of the most interesting personalities in the piano sound investigation and extended techniques. Her work published in the book “El otro piano” (2008 and 2016) is unique and is diffused in workshops, magistral lessons and concerts.
Improvisation, introspection as a soloist and in collaboration with acoustic and electroacoustic musicians have widened her perspective to develop her own technique and music.
Composer E. Rudnitzky says: ...¨ in her hands, the instrument is no longer what we know or think we know “.
