Camila Agosto is a composer, interdisciplinary artist, and educator based in New York City. Her recent work and research are inspired by linked concepts of memory, perception, psychoacoustics, and somatic experience. Her electroacoustic music examines how we perceive sound and vibration, exploring their physiological, mental, and emotional impacts. In her work, Camila collaborates with musicians, visual artists, choreographers, and instrument builders, seeking intersections across artistic fields. Her compositions include both fully notated and improvisational works, with an emphasis on timbral and textural exploration. She aims to reveal the sonic potentialities of acoustic instruments while highlighting the human element in live performance. Her projects encompass acoustic and electroacoustic concert works, interdisciplinary collaborations with visual media and dance, installations, and fixed media creations. Storytelling and sharing histories are integral to her work, helping to construct worlds and soundscapes that explore complex concepts and create spaces for healing.

Camila was honored to be the youngest fellow to be accepted to the American Academy in Berlin and is a recipient of the Fall 2023 Berlin Prize and Deutsche Bank Fellowship in Music Composition from the Academy. Her music has been featured at venues and festivals in the United States and abroad. Camila often works with visual artists, choreographers, and film directors on a variety of multimedia projects. In recent projects, Camila has designed and constructed various instruments and performative installation pieces to use in her compositional work. Upcoming projects include Light Leak II for The Rhythm Method string quartet, expected to premiere March 2025; completion of The Memory of Water Volume II, in collaboration with Martine Kinsella Thomas and Thea Mesirow, expected to premiere Fall 2025; and a new work commissioned by the International Contemporary Ensemble, expected to premiere in 2026.

In the summer of 2020, Camila became a certified yoga instructor and created the Meristem Artist Retreat, a virtual space for artists of marginalized genders to meet a variety of artists across different disciplines while learning holistic and balanced practices to help them sustain a healthy artistic life. Since then, Camila has founded Meristem Artists, to extend this work outside of the retreat. She has also developed and led a wellness workshop series through the Columbia University Computer Music Center, the Meristem Artist summer retreats, and was an invited guest presenter at the Ensemble Evolution summer sessions led by the International Contemporary Ensemble. Camila is currently an ABD doctoral candidate at Columbia University in Music Composition.
