Fátima Miranda

about

Fátima Miranda was born in Salamanca and lives in Madrid. After completing her M.A. in art history, she specialized in contemporary art, publishing two books in architecture and urbanism. Her interest in the avant-garde led her to a special focus on performance art, video art and minimal music, but above all on the relationship between art and life and between artist and audience. Following her encounter with the musician Llorenç Barber - a turning point in her artistic life - she founded the improvisatory group Taller de Música Mundana with him. When she was appointed director of the music library of the Complutense University of Madrid (1982-1989), she began to combine these activities with studies in ear-training, alto saxophone and percussion. She soon discovered the unexpected and precious potential of her voice and decided to rigorously explore it to its maximum consequences. Since 1983, she has been doing research on the voice and vocal music in traditional music and this has propelled her to use the voice not only for singing and speaking but also as a wind and percussion instrument built into the body. All of the above constitutes the basis for her own integrated musical language. Through solitary and systematic experimentation, she developed a series of unique and personal vocal techniques which she subsequently catalogued for her own use - a necessary measure inasmuch as many of these techniques were invented by her and thus unprecedented.
