Christina Vantzou hosts a workshop titled Affectionate Sound Strategies at Semibreve Festival 2024 in Braga, Portugal. 

Sound and voice play vital roles in shaping the world, our emotions, and bonds between humans and non-human entities, nature and beyond.  Sound as affectionate, as a way to steer and soften attention plus bring about deeper awareness will be considered through conversation and listening together

Christina Vantzou

Christina Vantzou is a Brussels based composer who deals with time expansion, atmospheres and harmonies through electronics and acoustic instruments.
Her releases include five numbered solo albums of ambient-classical music on American label Kranky, 2020’s Multi-Natural LP; a foray into abstract electronics and field recording released by the Belgian label Edições CN, two full-length albums with John Also Bennett as CV & JAB, and many other solo and collaborative works.
In her latest work, Vantzou focuses on shaping ceremonial and affective spaces where voice, synthesizers, piano, winds and electronics vaporously extend from the depths, glow in dreamlore and emerge into the light of day.
