María Bulla is a music maker. She creates small handmade objects and oversized scores; she writes songs, makes sounds with a synthesizer, and combines them with texts and field recordings; all this with the hope of making people feel something. Most of her creations are part of a project called hacemos bulla, a gift-making project with the purpose of reminding us that we are noise-makers; we make noise. María believes in slow processes that allow human connections to form in art-making. If we are to change things, we need to do it slowly and with our hands—one by one.
Her music has been heard in many places, mostly in the Americas and Europe. She frequently collaborates with her friends, especially with two very close ones: performance artist Franklin Dávalos, and sound and multimedia artist Juan Bermúdez. She has developed different radio projects over the last few years. The most recent one, hacemos bulla en la radio, is an online radio station that broadcasts original and often improvised music.
María holds a DMA in Composition from Cornell University, an MFA in Experimental Sound Practices from the California Institute of the Arts, and a bachelor’s degree in piano performance from the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana.
