Snezhana Reizen

Snezhana Reizen is an interdisciplinary artist, improviser, and composer of experimental electronic and acousmatic music with a focus on sonic micro-events as artefacts exposing the nerve of the imaginary.

In her art and research, she explores the unstable threshold between form and its limits, systems and flows, perception and its conditions through the phenomenon of sonic matter. Operating at the intersection of various contexts and media, her works unfold across multiple registers, bringing together the intimate and the universal entangled in threads of exile and belonging, displacement and memory, fluidity and identity. Derived from musique concrète and free improvisation, her practice reveals the sonic field as an ever-unfolding space of potentialities, interrelations and variations. 
 

With sound as her primary medium, she develops works across audio-visual performance, multimedia installation, sound for cinema, theatre, games and animation. Her interdisciplinary practice involves collaborations and projects spanning sound and image, affect and text, live embodied performance and experimental digital media.

She is also a co-founder of the music labels “Alienation Index” and “Abstand”, running projects including “My Mother Tongue Is a Foreign Language”, Rzeng, and Zero Night, curating the audio-visual event series Etr’ange, and co-curating Oooh, an international festival of improvisation.
