COCOMPI
Constantly engaging with interdisciplinary teams in both time-based media and performing arts, Cocompi integrates collaborative art-making processes with music composition, audio/visual design, and the application of new technologies. A composer-performer that collaborates actively with projects linked to theater, dance, performance art, film and extended realities (XR), Cocompi's work has been featured in concerts, festivals, venues and exhibitions in the United States, France, Mexico, Argentina, Chile and Peru.

They resonate with the remediation of analog & digital inputs as a (re)search for collective sensibilities in the arts, merging computer-assisted composition with new media archives that involve cultural exchange –and conspiracy– with local individuals and underrepresented communities. This approach results in mutually personal and shared perspectives, memories, dreams and speculations on gender construction, nation narratives, and self–expression as a political act.
In 2022, they was selected for the third edition of "Global Class" (by Tender Absence – Germany), an international program of exchange and (re)learning from each other's locally-situated and digitally-global artistic practices. They also was selected for the peruvian edition of "Solidarilabs" (by Skylight - USA), an encounter of artists, media makers and activists to create new narratives for social change and human rights.
In 2021, Cocompi received the Goethe-Institut's artist residency in Peru, joining a multidisciplinary team for a hybrid virtual and on-site laboratory regarding the theme of new masculinities, which transformed into a collective exhibition of mixed-media works and performances in the historic Centro Cultural San Marcos (Lima, Peru).
As an emerging film and new media director/sound designer, Cocompi has received awards and recognitions for "Dance Permit" (2021), "14N – PERU" (2020) and "Ephemeral, with Jorge Corpuna" (2020), participating in national and international film/music/new media festivals and art exhibitions. They have composed music and designed sound for more than 20 performing art works, performing in various artistic venues at Lima, Cusco and Ciudad de Mexico.
