Eliza Gelinas





Eliza Gelinas is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice examines the intricate relationship between memory and technology through music, experimental film works and print media. Their practice is performance-based and quasi-improvisatory, presenting visual media that combines analog filmmaking techniques and hand-drawn animation with a live electroacoustic music performance. Eliza often performs these film scores on their main instrument, euphonium, with live electronics that sample and manipulate the sound of the horn in real time creating an ambient, evolving soundscape from the beautiful brassy tone. 

In 2023, Eliza began working with Marcel Zaes through the Society of Electroacoustic Music US mentorship program to create this body of work, and has since performed their films “Your Silent World” and “Ephemera” at festivals such as the SEAMUS Conference at PURDUE University, New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival, Mise-en New Music Festival NYC, and the SPLICE Institute at Western Michigan University. Eliza received a BA from Westfield State University and an MM from University of Hartford, and works currently as the Media Services Director at Hampshire College.
