Anna Meredith announces the release of Anno, a boundary-pushing collaboration
with the Scottish Ensemble, in which original pieces of work by the
classical-electronic composer are intertwined with Vivaldi’s Four Seasons.
Released via Moshi Moshi, the project began as an immersive 360 degree live
experience but will be available on double vinyl, CD and digitally for the first
time from 17th August. After a recording process using the unusual ‘binaural
recording head’ the project will also be available in an exclusive binaural
recording – allowing the listener to experience the unique spatial aspects of
the piece through headphones.
Occupying a unique position of bridging both popular, experimental and classical
worlds, Anna is a composer/producer and has made a name for her genre defying
sound. In 2016 Anna Meredith released her acclaimed debut album Varmints via
Moshi Moshi, which went on to win the Scottish Album of the Year award. Among
countless achievements, she has been Composer in Residence with the BBC Scottish
Symphony Orchestra, RPS/PRS Composer in the House with Sinfonia ViVA, the
classical music representative for the 2009 South Bank Show Breakthrough Award
and winner of the 2010 Paul Hamlyn Award for Composers. Anna has also scored
forthcoming American comedy-drama Eighth Grade, written and directed by Bo
Burnham, which took home the Audience Award at this year’s Sundance Film
Festival: London.
