About

Gerardo Ivan Abogado Villamil is a multidisciplinary artist born and raised in Mexico City, now based in New York.

From an early age, he explored music theory, composition, piano, and guitar. His curiosity for the technology behind music production led him to pursue a degree in Digital Music Production Engineering at Tec de Monterrey, followed by a Sound Design for Visual Media program at Vancouver Film School.

With 5+ years of experience in post-production sound, Ivan collaborated with industry professionals on projects for Netflix, HBO Max, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, and Paramount. Now pursuing his MPS at NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP), he's exploring the intersection of technology, interactive experiences, and audiovisual innovation.

For me, life is based on connections. We are all connected—to each other and to our surroundings. There's a logic, and a sense of randomness within that logic. We don't know which point will connect us to the next. That's where structure meets the unexpected.
