An awe-inspiring work of beauty, Young's multimedia oratorio Creation won the New Genre Prize from the International Alliance for Women in Music Search for New Music in 2011. Sung in Swahili, Spanish, and English, the Creation Oratorio combines sacred vocal music, complex sound synthesis, and Afro-Cuban percussion. Young was inspired by her own Cuban and Dominican heritage.
Peña Young's project Libertaria: The Virtual Opera, a cutting edge animated opera combining contemporary composition and electroacoustic music is an exciting feature-length film. Production for Libertaria: The Virtual Opera was been achieved entirely online. The world premiere of Libertaria: The Virtual opera was October 2013 in Lake Worth, Florida, with additional live and online screenings worldwide. In 2014 Peña Young gave a TEDx Talk on Liberteria "Singing geneticists and EPIC cyberspace machinima operas" in Buffalo. Since then Libertaria has been screened or viewed online internationally, including at New York's Opera America and Greece's Animacyros.
In 2018 the Cintas Foundation awarded Young the prestigious Brandon Fradd Composer Fellowship for artists of Cuban descent. In 2019 the Buffalo Dreams Fantastic Film Festival premiered her animated film Spiritus and presented Peña Young with the Lois Weber Filmmaker Award. Young opened Bandwidth Media & Film in 2020. She continues to work with international clients and local filmmakers in video, media, and audio.
ARTIST STATEMENT
“Filtered through the lens of surrealism and technology, my intermedia explorations simply expose my own personal experiences and issues relevant to contemporary society. The visuals are a hybrid of experimental animation and sound art, with characteristic music that I compose for each piece. I hope to envelop the viewer in this universe through evocative sound and visuals while leading them to question the world around them.”
FROM ROCK DRUMMER TO SCI-FI OPERA FILMMAKER
Like any little girl, I wanted to be a famous rock drummer when I grew up. I drove my parents crazy drumming away in the garage, the attic, or wherever they could stash me and my mess of percussion instruments away. As I got older (I’d say wiser, but that’s not really the case) I started studying composition with Dr. Clare Shore in sunny South Florida. When I transferred to the University of South Florida and joined SYCOM (an avant-garde collective of insane arts students and electronic musicians) I knew I had found my calling – experimental intermedia (or mixing video with electronic music and drums).
I traded in my drumsticks for a mouse and followed my love of rhythm, media technology, and science fiction to create groundbreaking futurist and sometimes downright creepy works like World Order #5, virelaan, and Libertaria: The Virtual Opera, the world’s first feature-length machinima opera. I combine futuristic fantasy in innovative “groundbreaking” hybrid works. I completed my M.M. in Music Technology, with an additional year of Film studies at Florida International with Dr. Kristine Burns, Frederick Kaufman, Jacek Klasinski, and Dr. Orlando Garcia. Since then I have composed over two hundred works, produced over a hundred films and videos, and written dozens of books including the sci-fi novel the Libertaria Chronicles, based on my opera Libertaria. The future of music is now.

Sung in Swahili, Spanish, and English, the Creation Oratorio combines sacred vocal music, complex sound synthesis, and Afro-Cuban percussion.

ARTIST STATEMENT
“Filtered through the lens of surrealism and technology, my intermedia explorations simply expose my own personal experiences and issues relevant to contemporary society. The visuals are a hybrid of experimental animation and sound art, with characteristic music that I compose for each piece. I hope to envelop the viewer in this universe through evocative sound and visuals while leading them to question the world around them.”
FROM ROCK DRUMMER TO SCI-FI OPERA FILMMAKER
Like any little girl, I wanted to be a famous rock drummer when I grew up. I drove my parents crazy drumming away in the garage, the attic, or wherever they could stash me and my mess of percussion instruments away. As I got older (I’d say wiser, but that’s not really the case) I started studying composition with Dr. Clare Shore in sunny South Florida. When I transferred to the University of South Florida and joined SYCOM (an avant-garde collective of insane arts students and electronic musicians) I knew I had found my calling – experimental intermedia (or mixing video with electronic music and drums).
I traded in my drumsticks for a mouse and followed my love of rhythm, media technology, and science fiction to create groundbreaking futurist and sometimes downright creepy works like World Order #5, virelaan, and Libertaria: The Virtual Opera, the world’s first feature-length machinima opera. I combine futuristic fantasy in innovative “groundbreaking” hybrid works. I completed my M.M. in Music Technology, with an additional year of Film studies at Florida International with Dr. Kristine Burns, Frederick Kaufman, Jacek Klasinski, and Dr. Orlando Garcia. Since then I have composed over two hundred works, produced over a hundred films and videos, and written dozens of books including the sci-fi novel the Libertaria Chronicles, based on my opera Libertaria. The future of music is now.
