Ana performs regularly in both the UK and Germany and has made recent appearances on Radio 3’s Late Junction, BBC introducing, Radiophrenia Glasgow and received a special mention from WISWOS-woman in sound. In 2022 she recieved a six month fellowship by Musikfonds Berlin/ Neustart Kultur for her ERA GELDES liveset development.
With homemade instruments like some Yuri Landmann versions (12-string table top & steel-on-foam), electrix repeater, samples & field recordings and voice she creates sonic song-landscapes. Witnessing the planets destruction and self empowerment is the main source of her music adventures. These made her recording ice&snow, screwing together passion fruits, studying the relation of tomatoes to theories of Einstein, examining cooking recipes of E.Presley… After finishing her masterclasses in Ableton and mastering with Equalize UK in 2021, she initiated an international and all female musicians peer group.
Sonic CV
After learning flute, Xylophone and Lyra in the school orchestra I learned classical guitar in my teens and started singing in theatre. Later during my studies in Gießen (what is it?) – where I worked on experimental radio, did music performance theatre in my collective and made an album with my Icelandic band project.
Мy Professor Heiner Goebbels often opened doors to work with crazy professionals like the contemporary music ensemble musikfabrik Köln or the Ensemble Modern who got me interested in contemporary classical music by directing scenic concerts for them. And especially since I found myself allowed to do whatever sonically happens when studying with Felix Kubin – the sonic thing got wheels of freedom and strolls beside me, forming blooming outcomes from time to time.
With quite some fuel I concentrate on my solo-project ERA GELDES at the moment.
