Natasha Anderson

Natasha Anderson is a Melbourne musician who combines contrabass and garklein recorders with electronics to create works which constantly shift between dialectic extremes; those of frequency, the digital and the bodily and the processed and the instrumental. Deconstructed woodwind articulations merge with gestures that move quickly from real-time processing to the acoustic, dynamically extending the instrumental language and generating multiple and conflicting points of focus. Ultimately the source of these sounds, images and gestures, whether electronic, instrumental or bodily, become tangled and confused.

Natasha has performed multimedia, improvised and classical contemporary music throughout Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Europe. Recent performances include the Festival de Musiques Innovatrices, St Etienne [2006], the Skopje Summer Festival, Macedonia [2006], ?a?nia Centre of Contemporary Art, Gdansk [2006], Crime, Lille [2006], Galleria Zedosbois, Lisbon [2006], Cave 12, Geneva [2006], the Now Now, Sydney [2006], the OFF Film Festival, Brisbane [2006], the Melbourne International Arts Festival [2006, 2005, 2002, 1998], the Pompidou Centre, Paris [2004], and What is Music, Melbourne [2004-2005]. Regular collaborators include Anthony Pateras, Robin Fox, Amanda Stewart, Louise Curham, Annette Krebs and Twitch, of which she is a founding member.
