Michaela Catranis

Michaela Catranis is an award-winning composer, pianist, and interdisciplinary artist. "I believe in the synergy between art and other forms of communication or expression, looking for ways to channel my sound world through immersive, multisensory environments. My aim is to create a space where the artist and spectator alike lose themselves in what is happening moment by moment, breath by breath.” With a strong background in classical piano,  Michaela Catranis' eclectic tastes have led her to explore experimental music, electronic, jazz and beyond, crafting a highly versatile sonic language. Her intermedia performances have received international acclaim, sound worlds that spin out in a colorful exchange of disciplines, criss-crossing music, art, technology and dance. This process of collective art-making lies at the heart of Michaela’s work, which she feels echoes our shared humanity, a thirst for togetherness born from her experiences growing up in a large family. She derives inspiration from her love of classical music, playing with the family band, SPACE CATS, as well as non-classical sonorities that she’s collected from her travels and walks in the forest.
