Musicians' Migratory Patterns: American-Mexican Border Lands, Ensenada and Experimentalist Musical Practice: Narrations in Place and Time
Edited by Mauricio Rodriguez
Publication New York : Routledge, 2020
Paul N Roth and Teresa Díaz de Cossio offer a collaborative dialogue on experimentalist musical practice in Díaz’s hometown of Ensenada, Baja California (pop. 300,000). First, they detail a lineage of the scene’s developments as drawn from ethnographic work undertaken in 2019, beginning with pianist/composer/educator Ernesto Rosas in the last quarter of the 20th century and moving through the multiple generations of musicians and aesthetic frames he sets in motion. Second, they discuss Díaz’s personal experience within these musical activities, including particulars of the scene’s most recent large-scale iteration—the 2nd Festival de Música Nueva Ensenada, August 2019—of which she was primary organizer. Ensenada’s historical and geographical sense of place (including, but not limited to, its isolation from central Mexico yet proximity to Tijuana, San Diego, and Los Angeles) is foundational for the unique ways these practices have emerged and prospered. This illuminates compelling instances of musical cultures inflected and enacted locally as they migrate around the world.

in^set is a flexible chamber ensemble dedicated to creation, improvisation and experimentation. Founded in 2018 by David Aguila (trumpet), Teresa Díaz de Cossio (flute), and Ilana Waniuk (violin), in^set is committed to commissioning and performing existing compositions which extends our respective instrumental practices beyond the confines of contemporary classical music. Our collaborative creative work seeks to explore the sonic and visual possibilities of everyday objects, digital and analog visual components and hacked electronics. As advocates for music of the present, we aim to foster artistic partnerships and alternative modes of concert presentation. Our activities include outreach workshops and performances geared towards sharing our passion for expanded methods of sound production.
