From 2010 to 2012, Rezza performed with the Mexican multimedia artist Daniel Ivan in the first of a series of live performances titled Matar al Gato, a multimedia art and sound art event.[17][18]

Rezza's second album Verdades Minúsculas 2010[19] was selected by Festival Netaudio London 2011[20] and the Soundwaves Festival in Brighton, UK.[21] In the same year, 2010, her radio piece "El año del conejo", inspired by the text El Pensamiento náhuatl cifrado en los calendarios by Laurette Séjourné, was part of Journée Internationale de la Création Radiophonique[22][23] and the Radio Arts Space's international sound art and radio art exhibition.[24]

In 2011, through the label Acustronica, Rezza's experimental music, noise and soundscape work titled "SPIT" was released,[25] receiving favorable reviews in ATTN Magazine[26] and Music on TNT.[27][28] It was selected by artist Steve Heimbecker in the first series of concerts in 64-channel multi-channel surround sound system in 2011 and the track "The Cat" was broadcast on Late Junction BBC Radio 3.[29] In the same year she released "The existence of the light" to be published solely on Tumblr.[30][31]

In 2013 she released "32 Turbulencias"[32] and in 2014 her experimental work "Ntangu" was played at the Sonophilia Festival.[33] Before the end of 2014 she published "La simplicité d’une goutte", which was broadcast in the special radio show of Women's Day on KFAI Radio.[34] In December 2014 the radio program Dr. Klangendum Concertzender Radio broadcast two special feature programs about Sol Rezza discography.[35]

The project is imaginative and playful, drawing on classic radiophonic drama, and its spatial aspect should make the installation inviting and accessible.[38]

"In The Darkness Of The World" received favorable reviews in The Crack magazine,[39] Gonzo,[40] Mondo Magazin[41] and M/Magazyn,[42] and became part of the collection Sonosphere at Deutschlandradio Kultur.[43][failed verification]
