Susie Ibarra is a Filipinx composer, percussionist, and sound artist. Her interdisciplinary practice spans formats, including performance, mobile sound-mapping applications, multi-channel audio installations, recording, and documentary.

Her compositions have been described as “calling up the movements of the human body; elsewhere it’s a landscape vanishing in the last light, or the path a waterway might trace” (New York Times). Her sound is “like no other’s, incorporating the unique percussion and musical approach of her Filipino heritage with her flowing jazz drum set style” (Modern Drummer Magazine). 

Commissioned by DIA for Asian American Heritage month and performed for Filipino American Heritage Month.
