An On Bast
AN ON BAST is Anna Suda, a music-maker from Poznan/ Poland.She produces an electronic music from 2005; ( even though it all started by playing the the piano at the age of four). Law and philosophy graduate – surely the second faculty assured her in her music passion & that the world of sounds is the most important one for her.
She released her first album “WELCOME SCISSORS” in May 2006 on her own expense. Second album “HAPPY-GO-LUCKY” was released in September by Etalabel – a polish netlabel for an experimental electronica. Both of them are kept in the atmosphere of “delicate synthetic music” as she likes to call it – rather downtempo idm full of soundscapes, melodies, texts spoken with glitches, bleeps and everything in between. The main idea is to follow a particular sound and to be chosen by it not to choose. It’s a very delicate process during which a music-maker allows the sound itself to determine the way it is played. It’s all mixed with Henri Bergson’s metaphysics, literature of Hermann Hesse, music by Autechre, Mozart, Arvo Part.
In October 2006 she was a participant of a Red Bull Music Academy in Melbourne. This amazing experience taught her a lot and gave her an energy to scour the world of sounds deeper & again from a totally new point of view.
The scope of an on bast’s projects allows for keeping two faces in composing/playing sounds: one which is delicate, surrounding, ambient (also for a theatrical performances) and the other more lively, energetic, close to the expression of the dancefloor.
