About Laura Andel
Laura Andel is a music composer and teaching artist born and raised in Argentina, currently based in Harlem, New York City. Andel’s creative processes revolve around sound, music drawing, instrument building, and performance.One of her main interests is exploring diverse combinations of instruments for her music, and collaborating with musicians from different musical and cultural backgrounds. Described as someone who “seeks to expand our sense of time, form and perception through sound” by Evening Music (WNYC, New York Public Radio), Andel combines written music with a variety of approaches to improvisation and conducting to create different symmetries between the written and non-written. She has composed and conducted music for small and large orchestras, Jazz Big Band, Symphony Orchestra, and for instruments such as Javanese Gongs, Argentinean Bandoneon, Brazilian Berimbau, Russian Theremin, Ecuadorian Dulzainas, and Mochican Seashell-shaped Ceramic Trumpet.Andel has received awards for her music from the Rockefeller Foundation, New York Foundation for the Arts, Massachusetts Cultural Council, American Music Center, New York State Music Fund, Edward T. Cone Foundation, BMI Foundation, Unesco-Aschberg, Jerome Foundation, Urban Artist Initiative/NYC, Argentina Music Council, and the Senate for Culture of the City of Berlin.Her music is published by such labels as Red Toucan, Rossbin, Innova, CIMP, Cadence Jazz Records, and can also be heard as soundtrack for video, film, and choreographic works. Andel’s music has also been selected for publication to celebrate the 50 Years of The Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Center, the 40 Years of the Massachusetts Cultural Council Fellowships, the 10 Years of Red Toucan Records, and the 30 Years of the New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowships.
