Violeta García is a cellist, improviser and composer from Buenos Aires, Argentina. She is now based in between Switzerland, Barcelona and Buenos Aires.

She is a performer in many art forms, including free improvisation, contemporary and trans-media experimental repertoire in violoncello and electronics and collaborations sometimes with dancers, filmmakers and visual artists. After years of studying classical and popular music on violoncello and, later contemporary composition and improvisation. Violeta realized that her own musical voice needed to emerge outside specific genres. At the moment she is eager to improvise, compose and create new sounds experiment with extended techniques, prepared instrument and work with dynamic, rhythmic and original tuneful combinations in her intensities and visceral performances. Now her primary interest is to open new sound spaces that invite the audience on an inner voyage.

Violeta García released her first solo album “ACERO” in 2018 on the Argentinian label TVL REC, for which she composed pieces for a prepared instrument, with field recordings inspired by her childhood. Her second solo album “FOBIA” followed in 2022 on the label RELATIVE PITCH RECORDS (NYC).�On her third solo album entitled „IN/OUT“, composer and cellist Violeta García uses extended cello techniques during a recording session in a Geneva cave that once housed the city’s water reservoir. The composer worked with the resonance of the site as a sounding body and used microtonal techniques in a musical spectrum ranging from minimalist contemporary music to dark ambient noise. Initiated by the renowned Swiss record label BONGO JOE RECORDS, García explored this special space and began composing. The album IN/OUT was released on March 7, 2025. (photo: Paula Suarez)
