Immersive Radical Vocality meets London’s Finest Improvisers.
Franziska Baumann
Swiss vocalist, improviser and composer Franziska Baumann works a many art forms, including free improvisation, experimental new opera, sound-art and interdisciplinary audiovisual projects. In her solo projects she works at the intersection of voice, live electronic processing with gestural sensor interfaces and spatialised sound. Her music emerges outside specific genres and draws from the human voice’s archaic, experimental, and stylistically broad expressive possibilities.
