Mercedes Montemayor Elosua
Doctor of Musical Arts Student, Musical Arts
BioMercedes Montemayor is a Mexican composer and a second year DMA student at Stanford University. Drawing inspiration from textures and her painting practice, she is constantly exploring ways to translate the physicality of light into the sonic spectrum—and vice versa. Her works carry a deep emotional resonance, often blending abstract concepts with personal expression, into her electroacoustic and electronic music. She also creates multichannel installation at the CCRMA stage and the Listening room.
In addition to her composition work, Mercedes performed at Mutek Mexico 2023 alongside artists such as William Basinski, Marina Herlop, and Hatus Noit. She also interned at WSDG, an architectural acoustics firm, in the same year. Outside of music, she enjoys reading about psychology, logic, and mixing and mastering techniques; and watching films by Dogme 95 directors and David Lynch.
