Anthea Caddy
Lucas van der Velden
Cellist Anthea Caddy divides her time between Melbourne and Berlin. Her sonic investigations combine a knowledge base in sound with instrumental performance, exploiting the cello’s textural, spatial and dynamic capabilities. She references electro-acoustic music, interested in the relationship between digital composition, field recording and acoustic performance. Caddy seeks to consolidate conceptual and practical aspects of these media in articulating techniques and concepts indigenous to digital spatialisation in performance and recording. A 2019 contributor to Sonic Acts Festival, Caddy collaborates with Thembi Soddell (Iland, 2006, cajid media), Magda Mayas, Philip Samartzis (as Absence and Presence released on Unheard Spaces [Microphonics, 2006]), Annette Krebs, and Robin Hayward and Eric La Casa (performance/installation ..Maps of Corners..). She has played with artists including Tarab (Eamon Sprod), Clayton Thomas, Alice Hui-Sheng Chang and Tony Conrad.
