Julia Santoli

Creating immersive and precarious environments with voice, video, feedback, electronics, psycho-acoustics, and installation, Julia Santoli navigates presence, memory, and postmemory-- memory ruptured by dislocation and inheritance (diaspora). Santoli’s approach to vocalization integrates embodied practice with an attention to close listening and empathetic response in both the artist and audience, often tipping the scales between resonant clarity and extreme sonic states. Santoli has had the honor of being a Music Resident at Pioneer Works, Asian Cultural Council grantee to Japan researching sound art and performance practices, and an Artist in Residence at Issue Project Room. Solo works and collaborations have been presented at many institutions and DIY spaces internationally.
