Ulrica Web

Ángela Hoyos Gómez and Juan Hernández play together in the duo project Ulrica Duo, experimenting and improvising with sound – to movement – to color synesthesia, and creating scenes in which the morphing presence of the performers sketches cosmic tales. Their art projects Stamina Quimera, Aliento Cuerpo Selenio, Señorita Etc…, Miniperformance, Tambambient have been presented in theatres and galleries in Bogotá (Colombia), Gothenburg and Stockholm (Sweden), Bergen (Norway) and Huddersfield (England).

CV - Arts Research / Education

Angela and Juan worked as teachers in the Schools of Music (Arts Faculty) and Aesthetics (Architecture and Design Faculty) at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, in Bogotá, Colombia. They studied at the C:Art: Media program in Gothenburg, Sweden, and graduated with a Master of Fine Arts with specialization in Digital Media.

Angela and Juan are currently Music PhD candidates at the universities of Huddersfield and Leeds (UK).The new works of the Ulrica Dúo explore sonification as means to transmute processes and data from the field of astronomical sciences to the domain of electroacoustic music; their new pieces also combine syllables from decomposed and spatialised texts, calling forth and drawing off the Dúo’s enigmatic trek into the multiverse.
