JESSICA ROSEN uses sonic technology and energetic channeling practices to create transcendent experiences driven by sound. Her work inhabits the intersection of performance, sound art and meditation and accesses technology that spans the cultural and historical continuum to connect to the divine. Her acoustic toolbox includes custom built electro-acoustic instruments, field recordings, vocals of Sanskrit mantra, conch horns, ceramic wind instruments harmonium and digital audio production.

Rosen has a Master's degree in Fine Arts and photography from California College of the Arts in San Francisco, but her work also draws from many other sources. She is deeply informed by 25 years of academic study and practice of hindu devotional music and yoga and more recently classical Indian music performance. Living in Latin America since 2010, she has been researching archaeomusicology of the pre-columbian Americas, specializing in the construction of replicas of ceramic wind instruments found in archaeological sites across the Americas. She also designs and builds experimental electronics and has created numerous custom electro-acoustic instruments for the production of her sonic rituals.

She has presented her sound performances internationally in contexts such as The National Institute of Fine Arts in Mexico City, Festival de Musica Estranha in São Paulo and The Winnipeg New Music Festival in Canada and has been a resident artist at Fundação Armando Alvares Penteado (FAAP) in São Paulo, R.A.T. residence cdmx, Papaya Playa Project in Tulum and Kai Residency in Peru. She was born in the United States, was based in São Paulo from 2010-2016 and has now resided in Mexico City since 2016.
