Suppression/Dam

Natasha Anderson: Suppression/Dam Premiere | Spring 2019

Natasha Anderson is an Australian composer, musician and installation artist. She makes instrumental, audiovisual and acousmatic works in a variety of forms. A primary interest is the creation of otherworldly sounds — both acoustic and electronic — that generate tension through their precise formal placement and preternatural nature. Her works variously explore intense psychoacoustic experiences, the abject and the uncanny, as well as the whiplash juxtaposition of extremes.

Natasha Anderson’s project, Suppression/Dam, is a three-group collaboration with Australia’s Ensemble Offspring, Germany’s Ensemble Adaptor, and the International Contemporary Ensemble. Anderson will write a piece for four members of each group to create a 12-performer hybrid ensemble featuring the unique attributes of each group. Performances are scheduled for Australia, Europe, and the United States as early as Spring of 2019 at major festivals.
