Natasha Barrett - Toxic Colour - 1CD

Listen

Natasha Barrett returns with a new collection of pieces originating from environmental sounds recorded using 3D ambisonic microphones. 

These recordings have been deconstructed, processed, and composed into abstract musical journeys that no longer transport the listener to the original recording locations. Instead, they tell stories— partly of human made dystopias and partly in search of a melancholic beauty in what the future may hold. 

“I love sound. All kinds of sound. I'm constantly fascinated by the sound that the world has to offer - nature, culture, people, places; nuances, human expressions, performers and their instruments, and the distinctive ambiance of different spaces. I want to harness the energy, beauty and unique edgy rawness of these sounds, which all find their place in the grand scheme of music.” 

Natasha Barrett (NO/UK) is a composer, new media artist and researcher. She creates acousmatic, electronic, and live-electroacoustic music, public-space sound installations and audio-visual works. She is widely recognised for her artistic exploration of 3D sound and ambisonics. Her work is commissioned and performed worldwide and has received awards in over 30 international competitions, including the most prestigious prize available for Nordic composers, the Nordic Council Music Prize. 

In addition to her solo career, she regularly collaborates with performers, visual artists, architects, and scientists, often drawing on data emulating or created by realworld processes as a source for artistic exploration.
