Composer, vocalist and flautist Franziska Baumann has made a name for herself as a performer, improviser and specialist in live electronics, and for her sound installations and theatre music. Baumann uses electronically processed sound to develop a form of acoustic scenery into which she integrates her singing and vocal actions aurally and theatrically. As “artist in residence” at the STEIM “STudio for ElectroInstrumental Music,” Amsterdam, she developed an interactive SensorLab based cyberglove to enable her to control articulations of voice, sounds and space in real time via gesture and movement.
