Natasha Anderson is an Australian composer, musician and installation artist. She makes instrumental, audiovisual and acousmatic works in a variety of forms: solo performance, notated scores, cross-platform collaboration, audiovisual installation and multi-channel diffusion. A primary interest is the creation of idiosyncratic 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.

Her compositions have been performed throughout Europe, the USA and Australia by Ensemble Phoenix Basel, Chamber Made Opera, Vanessa Tomlinson, Scott Tinkler, Anthony Pateras, Erkki Veltheim, Judith Hamann and Jessica Azsodi. She was a featured composer for the Bionic Ear Institute's Interior Design project at the Melbourne Arts Centre in 2011, and currently holds two commissions from the Sydney Symphony Orchestra: a work for solo viola, large ensemble & electronics (Soloist/Conductor: Brett Dean) and an 8-channel sound installation.

Lizzy Welsh is a Melbourne-based musician whose main instruments are the violin and the baroque violin.

As a baroque violinist, Lizzy has performed with Orchestra of the Antipodes, Freitags-Akademien (Berlin, Germany), Latitude 37, Van Diemen’s Band, the Australian Romantic and Classical Orchestra, Accademia Arcadia, La Compañia, Consort Eclectus and Harken Well, as well as in various experimental improvisation settings.

As either soloist or chamber musician, Lizzy has appeared at the Bendigo International Festival of Exploratory Music, the Adelaide Festival, the Melbourne International Arts Festival, the Melbourne Jazz Festival, the University of California San Diego’s Springfest, Darmstadt Internationale Ferienkurse für Neue Musik, London Jazz Festival, Jazztopad Wrocław, Shanghai International Arts Festival, Shanghai New Music Week, Metropolis New Music Festival, and Wangaratta Jazz Festival, to name a few.

As a new music violinist, Lizzy has presented scores of Australian and World premieres with ensembles including the Argonaut Ensemble, Golden Fur New Music Project, ELISION Ensemble, and the Australian Art Orchestra. Lizzy is an Associate Artist of the Bendigo International Festival of Exploratory Music and Artistic Director of the Australia’s leading new music string quartet, the Argonaut String Quartet.
