natacha Flautist and composer Natacha Diels was born in Los Angeles in 1981 and spent most of her childhood in New Mexico. She received an education in music technology and performance at New York University, where she founded the new music group Ensemble Pamplemousse in 2002, and incorporated it into a not-for-profit in 2004. In addition to Pamplemousse, Natacha performs in both contemporary classical and improvised contexts, with various ensembles such as On Structure, Tall Brown Boots, and Red Light New Music. She has participated as a performer and composer in new music and art festivals worldwide, including Ostrava Days, Harold Arts, and summer school at STEIM. Natacha maintains a long-standing passion for electroacoustic chamber works, and occasionally composes pieces and builds toys for Pamplemousse. She frequently collaborates with composers to assist in the realization of the electronic component of their compositions, using whatever analog and digital tools are most well-suited for the project. Recent activities include the construction of super-instruments for Pamplemousse; completion of a master's degree at ITP (NYU); and a northeast tour with Ensemble Pamplemousse. Upcoming plans include compositions for SuperPamplemousse; an artist’s retreat in Pennsylvania; and the recording of a solo album of electroacoustic works for flute commissioned by Natacha over the past two years.
