Felipe Ignacio Noriega,
Composer ☺ Electronics Development

Welcome to Felipe Ignacio Noriega's portfolio... How can I help you?
Computing... ... ... $:\ Data Analysis shows that from 2014 until today can be defined as a period of collaborations and emancipation from the academic limitations... Do you want to see a human-readable view of what i say?
I am a robot designed to take you through this portfolio.
Apart from guiding you in this interactive portfolio I can't do much. However, my master **FELIPE IGNACIO NORIEGA** has promised to program into me some dancing and singing capabilities in the near future.
Here you can scroll through fragments of various pieces...

SORRY MIJNHEER! TOT MORGEN! **Amsterdam Chamber Opera production WOEST! in NL** (2011)
We are listening to an excerpt from THE MILL SONG. A piece inspired by the origins of clog dance in the industrial revolution as well as London's Grime rap scene. This music-theatre work tells of a girl working in a mill, hypnotically moving from states of frustration to escapism to a battle confrontation. The percussive clogs are translated into resonating harmonies through wireless electronics hidden on the body, manipulated live and by using the hands, face and mouth as a filter: body and sound are one integrated entity.

Wireless electronics is the epicenter of Felipe's artistic research and work in the last years. You can read more about it in his master thesis handbook...
Inside this portfolio you can browse Felipe's Master thesis, read his personal reflection over the study, or have a look at Felipe's work over the past 2 years...
REFLECTION:
"... The last years in Amsterdam have
definetly been crucial in my life. Many things have
happened and I've grown up in many senses. The
Conservatory and my main teachers, Jorrit & Willem, have played a
defining role in the way I see myself nowadays as a
composer, as a performer, a musician... and -here
comes the word- an artist.
When I first arrived to Amsterdam in 2009
I remember that during my application interview I was
told that I was accepted because you (the teachers)
thought that I had something interesting to say but
that due to my background and education in Mexico I
was still holding myself in. The moment you hear
this you don't easily realize how could you be holding
yourself in, because one is used to a certain
lifestyle/paradigms in Mexico, so i didn't pay much
attention to the comment. However, after almost 5
years of being in this country, working hard and
evolving, I finally feel I am in touch with who I
am.
Thanks to the intuition oriented approach that
was supported by my composition teachers I could
basically start doing what I wanted, even if it meant
going out of 'music composition'. I mean, I simply let
myself loose in my strongest passions ->
technology, music, the laptop, illusions. And this letting loose has
been so strong that nowadays i don't worry what
people might think about my profile, or how they wish
to categorize me as a musician: 'composer'?
'performer'? 'music-theater'?
'electronics'? 'interdisciplinary'? I simply
don't pay attention to this anymore, I do what I like
and I enjoy what I do. And I have fun, otherwise I
wouldn't spend so many hours in front of the laptop
or spending my free time understanding
electromagnetism, electricity, robot dance, or anything else I can
put my hands on.
... trying to close up the
relfection: I believe that I am ready to continue my
quest outside of the Conservatory. A quest that began
the moment I left Mexico and that I know will go on
because I am still hungry for freshness, innovation,
wonder, and fulfilment. I also feel I have found a
path I enjoy walking, and I am chasing something I
deeply believe in -> I am convinced that my research
in the dramaturgical approach to wireless/hidden
electronics has still a lot of potential for
development -> I already have various ideas I want/will
put into practice either on my own or with the support
of the many collaborators and fellow artists that I
have met and bonded with in my time here.
I am also happy to be able to present this interactive portfolio, as a means of
contributing to the acknowledgement of computer
musicianschip -> where every excuse is a good excuse
to express yourself and your work..."

In a few words, Felipe's thesis is focused artistically in Magical Reality and wireless electronics, and practically in proving how a specialized use of a laptop opens many expressive horizons...
Apart from guiding you in this interactive portfolio I can't do much more. However, my master **FELIPE IGNACIO** has promised to program into me some dancing and singing capabilities in the near future.
