Pamela Martinez is a composer, reiki master, educator, multi-instrumentalist and a musician in healing who creates music and immersive experiences under the moniker Teletextile. Martinez brings to life music-centered rituals that explore our connections with our inner voices and to each other. Her recent directing and performing credits include Teletextile: Connected and Whisperlodge. The New York Times dubbed Whisperlodge “an unusual mix of theater and therapy” and has been featured in BuzzFeed, The Atlantic, Netflix, Vice and more with acclaim. Her “Bjork-like" sound (The Boston Globe) moves from vocal layering and “electronic wizardry” (Metronome Magazine) to “dense, stormy guitar, piano and electronics" (Time Out New York). Martinez has toured extensively in the US, Europe, the UK and Asia. As a genre-hopping performer and musician, Martinez has performed violin at Carnegie Hall with a Carnatic Indian music ensemble, sang in San Francisco's historic Fillmore Theater and takes part in performance art happenings in New York City. Martinez is a San Antonio native who has spent the 11 years performing and creating in Brooklyn, NY, but she began calling the River City home again in 2018. Martinez creates new work with the Teletextile Ritual Arts Ensemble, a group of rotating collaborators that weave together a tapestry of music, movement, reiki and other healing rituals to create a mixture of performance and spiritual practice. Martinez holds a Bachelor's Degree in Music Education from Berklee College of Music in Boston and specializes in creating works of deep listening, sound baths and sonic expressions and passes on the craft of music and wellbeing by teaching and leading workshops most recently as faculty at Brooklyn Music School, sound bath practitioner at Maha Rose Center for Healing (NYC) and Teletextile Studio located in Southtown’s Mercury Project (SATX). Martinez has worked with The Brooklyn Greenway Initiative, Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning, The Tobin Center, SAY Sí, Trinity University, UTSA, The Parks Foundation, The River Foundation, Jump-Start Performance Co, The McNay Art Museum, Luminaria Contemporary Arts Festival, and Blanton Museum to bring music education, immersive performance and sound meditation to a broader community.
