about irides

irides (she/they) is a music producer, sound designer, mixing engineer, songwriter, poet, and electronic visual artist. She comes from a classical background, having started playing piano at the age of six which she pursued through her undergraduate degree at Boston University. They have always had a love for any music and art that evokes deep feeling, and aims to create this with their own work, exploring all sides of the emotional spectrum. She believes in the power of storytelling through art and aims to evoke strong sensations by experimenting with electronic and vocal production, playing with the way that sound can impact emotions felt in the body.

Feeling a desire to hone their craft and learn new skills, they pursued a Master of Music degree in Music Production, Technology, and Innovation at Berklee College of Music, Valencia Campus from 2022-2023. Her time at Berklee offered the opportunity to explore using electronics and sound design to create the soundscapes she always dreamed of in her mind. In her time there, she garnered the skills to produce, engineer, mix, and add visuals to her own work while collaborating with artists across music genres.

Collaboration is one of her favorite parts of creating. While there are moments to create from only the self, she believes in the power of creatives coming together to originate meaningful work. They love to produce and co-write songs with other musicians and have collaborated on a range of genres, from eclectic baroque-pop, to contemporary RnB, and hyper-pop. She co-produced and mixed Anaís Azul’s debut solo EP, "Vulnerable" (released 2022), and debut album "Simp'ashani: Canciones Trenzadas" (released 2024). She also produced and mixed Liobhan's debut album "Corpos de Agua." (released 2025), and was the producer for Maggie Cubillos’ single “A Colder Christmas” (released 2023). They also enjoy collaborating with visual artists to make evocative artwork, and always look for opportunities to explore with creatives of any kind.

immersive audio visual installation with split-image projection mapping at ESAT, May 2023

artist project

irides was proud to present the first iteration of her piece "cycles: healing from abuse through love" as an immersive audio-visual installation in May 2023 at ESAT in Valencia, Spain and the second iteration as video art in April 2024 during Festival Sarao in Paris, France.

This piece began as a series of ten poems. It evolved into a combination of electronic sound design and guitar which mirror the feelings and ideas expressed through the spoken word poetry and sung vocals paired with projected visuals in a variety of styles that work together to create a visceral experience.

"Corpos de Agua." - Liobhan

album produced and mixed by irides

"Corpos de Agua." is an album that was born from a collection of songs which are close to Liobhan's heart. She has been performing her own interpretations of these covers for several years and wanted the opportunity to create recorded studio versions. In addition, her first original compositions are featured and all together create a diverse and eclectic body of work full of sounds that have inspired her as a person and artist.

"Simp'ashani: Canciones Trenzadas" - Anaís Azul

album produced and mixed by irides

Simp’ashani was born out of Anaís’ time on a Fulbright in Lima, Perú where they were studying Indigenous Andean music, learning Quechua, and visiting Indigenous communities across the Andes while reconnecting with their own roots. We included interviews they recorded during their field research where they spoke with family, community, and other Andean diaspora members. The goal was to tell Anaís‘ story and offer a love letter to communities of diasporas through story telling, world building, and sonic experimentation .
