Sonic landscapes drawn from textural, electronic explorations of voice, synthesizer, and guitar. With backgrounds in classical, traditional, and religious musics, Anna’s sound encompasses choral ambience, drone and experimental pop. She relies on improvisation and looping, with a meandering, fluid sense of embodied time.
