Annie Mahtani is an electroacoustic composer, sound artist and performer working and living in Birmingham (UK).

Her output encompasses electronic music composition from acousmatic music to free improvisation. Her work often explores the inherent sonic nature and identity of environmental sound, amplifying sonic characteristics that are not normally audible to the naked ear. Her music explores abstract and recognizable sound worlds and all the spaces in between. Annie works extensively with multichannel audio both in fixed medium works and in live performance.

Annie is Co-Director of UK collective SOUNDkitchen. Since 2013 the collective have been developing augmented soundwalks, launching the SOUNDwalker app in 2017 offering a series of GPS triggered locative soundwalks in and around Birmingham UK.

flakkari

“Icelandic culture is infused with stories of travel. When names were needed for modern machines, the technology that enables our imaginations to travel, words were chosen that centred on the quality of roaming. Thus the neologism for laptop is fartölva, formed from the verb far, meaning to migrate, and tölva – migrating computer’; its companion, the external hard drive, is a flakkari. The latter word can also mean ‘wanderer’ or ‘vagrant’. In the end it’s the wanderers we rely on.” From Nancy Campbell’s “The Library of Ice”.
