Aaron Acosta is a graduate from the College of Santa Fe with a BA in Sound Design in Media in 2002. This is a Self Designed major that consists of studies in Theatre, Film, and Music. He enjoys designing soundscapes for theatre and film and he has many skills as far as theatre and film production. What he loves most is sound. Sound helps us interpret the world in a unique way with frequency, amplitude and time: he chooses to explore these realms. He is involved with electro acoustic composition as well as more traditional composition. He is currently working as Technical Director/ Resident Designer for Santa Fe Performing Arts.

Fasce elettroniche, che spesso risolvono in ritmo. Timbriche interessanti ma un po’ datate. Uso di strumenti e voci campionate, afferenti soprattutto al mondo della musica indiana (sitar, tablas, solfeggio sillabico), ma anche pianoforte acustico, zampogna, ecc. Lavoro piuttosto vario, lungo, vagamente noioso e non particolarmente innovativo, eppure non privo di un suo fascinaccio: in particolare nei momenti più estatici e “immobili” (vedi traccia 11).
