Joshua Marquez is a Philadelphia-based composer, improviser, and sound artist whose music explores the liminal space between tone/noise and digital/analog as a means to investigate the complexities and duality of his Filipino-American identity in search of connection during a diaspora. Searing a sonic imprint of cultural identity, his explorations of the noise spectrum represent alienation and assimilation through the fusion and fission of disparate timbres. Marquez is described as a “harmonious conceptualist (Rival) who “offers a musical experience rarely heard” (EARMILK) as “upsetting and calming in equal measure” with atmospheres that “sink into your skin” (Prism Reviews). Hailed as "cutting-edge" (The Gazette), “expertly crafted” (We Write About Music), "haunting" (The Daily Iowan), and "creepy" (Fanfare Magazine), Marquez's polemic deconstruction and disintegration of sound aims to present music through a decolonized lens. @joshuamarquezmusic

Marquez holds a PhD in composition from the University of Iowa in addition to an MM from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
