Carla Boregas (b. Brazil, 1984) is a musician and sound artist. Her practice is focused on the creation of sonic environments through the manipulation of synthesizers, field recordings and acoustic sounds with emphasis on texture, repetition and sensoriality. She works across the spectrum of composition, production, performance and sound installation. She also collaborates with artists from dance, film and theater.

In 2011, Carla co-founded the punk ethos genre-bending band RAKTA (playing bass and electronics), and since then she has been a very active figure in the Brazilian scene and abroad with several solo projects and collaborations, as well as running AUTA (*2019†2020), a venue dedicated to experimental music in São Paulo, and the record label Dama Da Noite Discos.

She is also part of Fronte Violeta, a transdisciplinary duo that investigates sound in a multi-sensory way always guided by a continuous interest in restoring and awakening sensitivity through a dialogue with the natural world.

In 2020, she joined the multi-instrumentalist M.Takara. Together they released two well praised albums, “Linha D'Água” (Bokeh Versions-UK / Desmonta-BR) and “Grande Massa D'Água”, as the result of the amalgam of Boregas’ ethereal electronic sonorities with Takara’s jazzy improvised percussion.

In 2022, Carla was laureated with the Palma Ars Acustica prize for “"What Is Not / O Que Não Estᔓ, a radio piece created in partnership with Anelena Toku and Martha Kiss Perrone, commissioned by CTM Festival and Deutschlandfunk Kultur.

In 2023, Carla released her debut solo album called “Pena ao Mar” on the Swedish imprint iDEAL Recordings.

With her solo and collaborative projects, Carla toured intensively throughout Europe, North and South America and Japan, with main performances and commissioned works presented at Donaufestival (AT), CTM Festival (DE), Rewire (NL), Pop Montreal (CA), Roadburn Festival (NL), Primavera Sound (ES), Festival Novas Frequências (BR), Festival Música Estranha (BR), Grauzone (NL), Supersonic Festival (UK), NRML (MX), Copenhagen Jazz Festival (DK), MUTEK (CA) and Radical Sounds Latin America (DE).
