Carrie DeCunzo Mirande is a multi-disciplinary artist who works in music composition and improvisation, performance and theater, installation, and video. Her work is characterized by the unlikely integration of disparate aesthetic elements using a wide net of tools including computer, voice, field recordings, synthesizers, samples, and acoustic instruments. A cornerstone of her practice is her investigation of contested landscapes (bodies, rivers, ports, marshes, memories) and her patient study of environmental violence across scales. She creates works which are in equal parts socioecological inquiry, speculative fiction, and intimate windows into her personal life. She is especially invested in technical and compositional processes which are extremely slow and inefficient. She studied political ecology at the University of Vermont and received her MFA in Electronic Music and Recording Media at Mills College. She grew up in the foothills of the Adirondacks in New York State and lives in Philadelphia.
