Snezhana Reizen is an interdisciplinary artist, improviser, and composer of experimental electronic music. Born in Ukraine, she studied in Saint Petersburg and has been active in the improvisational music scene since 2003, participating in many art festivals and collectives. She is also a co-founder of the music labels “Alienation Index” and "Abstand," running such projects as Rzeng, My mother tongue is a foreign language, and Zero Night.

​

With a focus on sound as the primary medium, yet not circumscribed by it, she applies her artistic intuition across such areas as audio-visual performance and installation, sound for cinema, theatre, and animation, digital art, experimental game-audio, and radio plays. 

​​

​In her practice she elaborates on a broad spectrum of issues, from the regimes of signs, that shape our culture, - to the urgent problems facing our world such as ecological, social, and political crises, posing open questions through diverse frameworks with a special interest in perceptual transmutation. 

​

Out of “concrete” sounds and specifically synthesised elements she creates a dynamic flow that resists a strict form, a mysterious field of becoming with complex texturas, microtonal polyphony, sudden polyrhythmic spasms and eruptions of  silence with its tensions and spells.​
