Immersive Soundscapes Rooted in Mexican Heritage

Con Secuencias is the project of sound artist and music producer Jorge Luis Garcia, born and raised in Mexico City and based in Montreal since 2018. Through field recordings, electroacoustic composition, and sound spatialization, he creates hybrid soundscapes where ancestral traditions meet contemporary technologies.

As the first artist selected for the immersive audio component of the PHI Nord residency, Con Secuencias opens this video with a performance of his piece Daga Helada, followed by an interview in which he reflects on his artistic journey, his influences, his handcrafted Mexican instruments, and his approach to sound as a space of memory and transformation.

ABOUT CON SECUENCIAS

Mexico-born, Montréal-based sound artist, music producer, and sound technician. He has a background in electroacoustics and sound design and focuses on multichannel spatial sound and immersive installations. His work delves into creating different atmospheres and virtual spaces using field recordings, sound design, and live spatialization, making his music a complex scenario of real spaces, different sound objects, and rhythmic exploration. His productions feature genres like cumbia and tribal prehispánico, experimenting with different prehispanic Mesoamerican percussion and handmade winds with electronic production and narrative sound design.

PHI North offers musicians the opportunity to produce, explore, experiment, and refine their artistic project.

Selected participants are granted a two-week creative retreat at a riverside lodge in the Laurentian mountains featuring exclusive access to a recording studio with in-house engineer and technical assistance.

Specifically oriented for Quebec-based artists, this residency provides a much needed escape from the everyday in order for participants to completely immerse themselves in their artistry.
