Relevant Tones: inti figgis-vizueta

I had the immense pleasure of speaking with composer inti figgis-vizueta for Relevant Tones. inti writes “magically real musics through the lens of personal identities, braiding a childhood of overlapping immigrant communities and Black-founded Freedom schools—in Chocolate City (DC)—with direct Andean & Irish heritage and a deep connection to the land.” In this interview, I ask inti about several of her pieces, her music notation and communication processes, the New Latin Wave Festival, string quartets, and much more!
