The artists
Anna Whitaker - Composer + Sound Designer
Anna Whitaker is a multi award–winning Meanjin/Brisbane based sound designer and composer with a palate for experimental, acousmatic works and surround sound composition.
She graduated from Queensland Conservatorium of Music with a Bachelor of Music Technology, and since has designed and composed for productions including MONA FOMA, Sydney Dance Company, Australasian Dance Company, The Farm, tasdance, Stompin’, Aha Ensemble, La Boite Theatre Company, Brisbane Festival, Bleach* Festival, HOTA Gold Coast, Festival 2018, Vulcana Circus and Playlab.
Her vast background in classical music and technology–based sound art result in musical concoctions from the traditional and contemporary worlds. Anna received the 2020/2021 and 2019 Matilda Award for Best Sound Design for her work on Michael Smith’s ‘Cowboy’ and The Farm’s ‘Throttle’ respectively.
Anna’s unique voice is also evident in her installation works which have exhibited at Bleach* Festival, HOTA, Metro Arts and QPAC Museum. Anna has a strong interest in composition for contemporary dance, and making and collaborating with regional artists and communities.
Riley Towers - Artist
Riley Towers is a multidisciplinary artist and visual designer with a passion for texture, colour, collage and ‘found’ materials. She graduated from Queensland University of Technology with Honours in Interactive and Visual Design, where she gravitated towards computer–generated art and interactive projection installations.
She has since developed a practice with live–programmed visuals that she brings to performances throughout the electronic music scene in Brisbane and Melbourne.
The process for these visual performances is informed by her extensive paper collage practice, in the way that she collects various pieces of archival footage and combines them to express new conceptual connections. She takes an experimental approach to live–programming, embracing the computer as both a tool and a creative influence.
Together, Riley and her computer use archival footage to create colourful and dynamic visuals in response to music.
