Natasha Anderson is a Melbourne artist who variously uses contrabass recorder, electronics and mixed media to create works that foreground the musician as a framed and gendered bodily presence. Constantly and rapidly shifting between such opposing forces as digital and acoustic sound, abject and processed gestures, extremes of frequencies and visual and sonic moments – she creates for the audience 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 Musique Action Festival, France [2007], Liquid Architecture and Now Now Festivals, Sydney [2007], Festival de Musiques Innovatrices, France, OFF Film Festival, Brisbane, Melbourne International Arts Festival, Alt.Music, Auckland [2006], the Pompidou Centre, Paris [2004], and What is Music, Melbourne [2004-2005]. Regular collaborators include Anthony Pateras, Robin Fox, Amanda Stewart and Annette Krebs. Anderson has presented original compositions involving contra-bass recorder andelectronics for JOLT in INTERACTACON & WIGGA.
