Lea Bertucci is an American sound artist, composer and performer whose
work describes relationships between acoustic phenomena and biological resonance.
Her work often incorporates multi-channel speaker arrays, electroacoustic feedback,
extended instrumental/vocal technique, and tape collage. As an instrumentalist, she
uses an idiosyncratic approach to the amplification of woodwind instruments,
creating organic yet electrified sonic interventions. Her debut solo LP, Resonance
Shapes, was released in 2013 on the Obsolete Units label and has been praised by A
Closer Listen as “A grand exploration of the possibilities inherent in sound”. Lea
is the 2016 MacDowell Fellow in composition and will premiere a new work for
children’s choir and multichannel electronics at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in
New York. She is a 2015 ISSUE Project Room Artist-in-Residence and is a Harvestworks
New Works Fellow. Her discography includes a number of solo and collaborative
releases on various underground independent labels in the US and Europe.
