about

[guerrilla of teeth amongst the trees]

Insects don’t have teeth—they are all teeth. For those who have
exoskeletons, their physical contact with their surroundings is
radically different from those of us who have skin around our bones.
Their touch and the sounds that it produces also differ
greatly from ours. This piece is inspired by the sounds that insects produce in their interaction with the world; beings whose
presence—sometimes annoying, sometimes scary, sometimes
welcome—is gradually disappearing from our daily lives.

The title comes from a fragment of the sixth poem of Pedro Varguilla’s book Marea: “Siénteme guerrilla de dientes entre los árboles”

Born in Aguascalientes, México, Luis Fernando Amaya is a composer
and percussionist currently based in Barcelona. Topics such as collective memory and the relationship between humans and non-humans (such as plants, animals, or environments) are commonly present in his work. He studied composition and music theory at the Centro de Investigación y Estudios Musicales (CIEM) and holds a Ph.D. in composition and music technology from Northwestern University.

Amaya’s music has been performed throughout the Americas and Eu-
rope by performers such as the CEPROMUSIC (México), Arditti Quartet (UK), Lucerne Festival Contemporary Orchestra (Switzerland), Ensemble Dal Niente, Fonema Consort (USA), Quartetto Indaco (Italy) amongst others. He is the recipient of awards and fellowships such as the Fonca-Conacyt (National Fund for Culture and the Arts/National Commission for Science and Technology) Scholarship, Presidential Fellowship (NU), and representing México in the 61st International Rostrum of Composers of the UNESCO in Helsinki, Finland.

As a performer, Amaya is a member of the collective composition and free improvisation trio Fat Pigeon. His scores are published by BabelScores.
