Describing herself as a composer, musician and robotic artist, Ivor Novello award winning artist Sarah Angliss talks to Caro C about her route into Electronic Music and how she utilises sub-frequencies, robotics and her own effects in her compositions and live performances.Chapters00:00 - Introduction01:30 - Classical And Folk Beginnings00:00 - Discovering Electronic Music07:52 - Studying Infrasound12:26 - The Brown Note14:40 - Augmenting Acoustic Sounds17:46 - Using The Theremin As A Controller19:28 - The Bela Board20:48 - Using Robotics In Performances 26:20 - The Science Museum and Daphne Oram30:05 - Radio 4 And Echo 33:58 - Current Projects35:28 - Working With SynthesizersSarah Angliss BiogSarah Angliss is an Ivor Novello Award winning composer, performer and robotic artist working in television, film, on the live concert stage and in theatres across Europe and North America. Her recent work includes the music for Romola Garai’s feature film Amulet - a terse, electroacoustic score which explores the sonorities of voices and ancient instruments, revealing and augmenting them with Sarah’s distinctive digital and electronic techniques. Sarah’s music draws on her lifelong interest in European folksong, cybernetics and esoteric sound culture. These inspire her progressive and strikingly original music. Her work reflects an eclectic musical background. A classically-trained composer who specialised in baroque and renaissance music, Sarah cut her teeth performing on the UK folk scene. Her desire to get inside notes and finely manipulate sound then build her own automatic music machines led her to study electroacoustic engineering, then robotics, alongside music – fields that continue to inform her unique compositional style. Sarah received the Visionary Award from the Ivors Academy in 2021 and a Paul Hamlyn Award for Composers in 2018.Website: www.sarahangliss.comSoundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/sarahanglissTwitter: @sarah_anglissInstagram: @sarah_anglissCaro C BiogCaro C is an artist, engineer and teacher specialising in electronic music. Her self-produced fourth album "Electric Mountain" is out now. Described as a "one-woman electronic avalanche" (BBC), Caro started making music thanks to being laid up whilst living in a double decker bus and listening to the likes of Warp Records in the late 1990's. This "sonic enchantress" (BBC Radio 3) has now played in most of the cultural hotspots of her current hometown of Manchester, UK.
