This Venezuelan composer and ethnomusicologist has created over forty acoustic and electro-acoustic works. His research trips around Venezuela and the Caribbean since 1989, mainly in the Afro-American cultural areas of the Caribbean and indigenous regions of the Amazon, have formed the basis for many recordings and studies of music and sonic landscapes. Sonic landscapes in danger of extinction, recorded in Venezuela and Galicia over a fifteen-year period, are used as raw material in this concert. These sounds have been processed and reconfigured in order to create a sonic perspective that is the basis for performance, using several instruments in Suárez's collection. These come from various cultures which the artist has studied in Venezuela and in Galicia, some of which are more than 600 years old.
