As Ale Hop, Peruvian-born Alejandra Cardenas composes electronic and electro-acoustic music that combines influences from noise, pop, avant-garde and ambient with an unorthodox repertoire of techniques for electric guitar and live sampling devices. Always on the edge of artistic and sonic exploration, Ale Hop creates a sonic vocabulary of astonishing intensity. Distortions combine to create a complex atmospheric layering. In addition to working on her solo projects, Alejandra Cardenas composes scores for film, dance and theater projects and conducts research on art, sound, decolonial thinking and technology. She is also the editor of the academic publication "Border-Listening/Escucha-Liminal" and co-organizer of the Radical Sounds Latin America festival.
