| About | |

Fae Ordaz is a sound artist, musical instrument designer, and experimental performer from Santa Fe, New Mexico. Her work blends tactile sound-making with vocal improvisation, creating rich, chaotic sonic environments where melody, noise, and resonance collide. Using hand-built instruments, strings, feedback loops, and her own voice, she crafts melodies that emerge and dissolve within layers of tangible noise, often drifting between music and sculpture.
Visual storytelling plays a central role in Ordaz’s performances—she works with shadows, puppetry, and movement to shape the atmosphere, creating immersive experiences where the sonic and visual intertwine. A visual artist as well, her work in woodworking, textiles, and animation directly informs the construction of her hand-built instruments. She is also the co-treasurer of Modern Music Guild (MMG), where she organizes experimental music events and oversees booking and budgeting for the student-run collective. Ordaz is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Music Degree in Technology in Music and Related Arts (TIMARA) at Oberlin Conservatory. In the summer of 2025, she will apprentice with instrument builder Daniel Fishkin, where she hopes to deepen her craft in instrument-making and fine woodworking. |
