Pamela Martinez

Pamela Martinez is a reiki master, educator, multi-instrumentalist and composer who creates music and immersive experiences under the moniker Teletextile. Martinez’s work focuses on growth and healing through nature, sound, sonic sculpture and performance. Martinez brings to life music-centered rituals that explore our connections with our inner voices and to each other.

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. Her recent directing and performing credits include 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.

Martinez is a San Antonio, Texas native who spent 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, 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 mindful awareness practices. Martinez holds a Bachelor's Degree in Music Education from Berklee College of Music in Boston and is currently seeking an MFA in Music Composition from Vermont College of Fine Arts. They specialize in creating works of deep listening, sound baths and sonic expressions and pass on the craft of music and wellbeing by leading workshops at Southtown Music Studio (SATX) located in Mercury Project Contemporary Art Space.
