UK / Norway
Natasha Barrett is a composer, new media artist, and researcher. She creates acousmatic, electronic, and live-electroacoustic music, public-space sound installations, and audiovisual works. She is widely recognised for her artistic exploration of 3D sound and ambisonics. Her work is commissioned and performed worldwide and she has received awards and first prizes in over 30 international competitions, including the most prestigious prize available for Nordic composers, the Nordic Council Music Prize.
In addition to her solo career, she regularly collaborates with performers, visual artists, architects, and scientists, often drawing on data emulating or created by real-world processes as a source for artistic exploration. Some of the highlights include 3D audiovisual artworks with the USA-based OpenEndedGroup, science-art sonification in collaboration with geoscientists, and live electronics collaborations with many soloists and ensembles.
Barrett lives and works in Norway.
