Events Calendar

Susie Ibarra is a Berlin-based Filipinx-American percussionist and sound artist whose practice includes composition, mobile sound-mapping, multichannel audio installations, and documentary. Constantly observing and responding to sound, nature, and her collaborators, Susie’s recent projects include Walking on Water, where she used underwater sounds of breaking and melting glaciers in immersive compositions; Insectum, where she zoomed into the world of arthropods with Graham Reynolds and Jeffrey Zeigler; and Heart and Breath: Rhythm and Tone Fields, where she and Richard Reed Parry (of Arcade Fire) created works of expansive innerness based on real-time fluctuations of pulse and respiration.

A two-time DownBeat Rising Star, Susie Ibarra was named one of SPIN’s “100 Greatest Drummers of Alternative Music” and has worked with an array of artists, including John Zorn, Derek Bailey, Ikue Mori, William Parker, Pauline Oliveros, Yo La Tengo, and Thurston Moore.
