Eliza Gelinas (they/them) 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 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 studying 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, Misé-en New Music Festival NYC, and the SPLICE Institute at Western Michigan University. Eliza earned their Master’s of Music degree with a focus in composition from The Hartt School at University of Hartford and their Bachelor’s of Arts from Westfield State University. During their studies at the Hartt School they served as the Electronic Studio Manager and Composition Fellow, and began work at Hampshire College as the Media Services Associate after graduation, managing their equipment collection and providing audio visual support in the art gallery. Eliza works as the Media Stockroom Manager at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University supporting students and faculty in their creative and academic practices.
