About Ciclo de Música Discreta:

Ciclo de Música Discreta establishes itself as a space for artistic encounter and experimentation centered on active listening and sharing, offering experiences that challenge conventional ways of listening to and engaging with sound. By intersecting distinct artistic languages ​​and practices, it creates common ground between artists and the audience, where sound is understood not merely as aesthetic material but also as a tool for political, cultural, and sensory reflection.
