Home

Welcome, my name is Anna and I am a sound artist, field recordist, and SEAHA-CDT PhD candidate; who has a fascination with heritage sites, landscapes, and documenting my surrounding environment, what ever shape it may take. I have over 13 years of music writing, field recording, and sound editing experience, with 5 years working on locative immersive listening experiences for mobile media. This site is a portfolio of my work; some large-scale works, finalised compositions and projects, and others experiments and documentation. There are pictures and sounds, as well as writing displaying some of my past and current thoughts. This site is a constant work in progress, so thank you for your patience as more of my work unfolds.
