Anthea Caddy
Berlin
Anthea Caddy is a cellist and artist from Melbourne, Australia currently based in Berlin, Germany.
Interested in the relationship between recorded sound, spatialisation and instrumental performance, much of Caddy's work focuses on the incorporation of acoustic, electro-acoustic and recorded space within performance and multi-channel installation.
From a scientific anechoic chamber, to a 50 metre deep hydroelectric damn wall in the Snowy Mountains of Australia and an abandoned Soviet oil tank in Mooste, Estonia. Caddy works within these unusual acoustic environments simultaneously activating the space whilst utilising specific microphone placement to mesh both cello and space into a recorded document. In live solo performance she often uses low lighting or complete darkness in either stereo or multi-channel configurations.
Alongside her solo work Anthea has collaborated and performed with many artists, most notably with Thembi Soddell (Iland, Cajid Media), Annette Krebs, Philip Samartzis, Magda Mayas,Tarab (Eamon Sprod), Steve Heather, Anthony Pateras, Eric la Casa, Sean Baxter, Christian Wolff, Tony Conrad, Robin Fox, Robin Hayward and many others. She is a current member of the improvising Splitter Orchestra, Berlin.
She has toured and exhibited extensively in both Australia, New Zealand, USA and Europe notably at, Bludenzer Tage, Austria, Liquid Architecture National Festival, Australia, Diapason Gallery, New York, Leipzig Museum of Modern Art, Germany, Octubre Centre de Cultura Contemporania, Valencia, Project Space Gallery, Melbourne, Wroclaw Museum of Contemporary Art, Poland and Tesla Centre of Media Arts, Berlin.
She has contributed to numerous works for video installation, dance, live sound design/score for theatre (with Darrin Verhagen and Franc Tetaz), film (Rogue, 2007) and video.
