ARTISTIC THINKING
My work focuses on movement and visual impact, combining the moving body with
strong soundscapes to create an immersive spaces.
I explore themes like power, popular culture, and social commentary. I also
incorporate elements of martial arts and floorwork to enhance the physicality and try
to find ways to work in the multidisplinary fields of art. Additionally, my interests in
music, particularly techno and strong beat inform my creative process. By
integrating elements from various disciplines, I strive to create works that are rich in
texture and meaning, offering me, and others an broad and multifaceted
experiences. This approach allows me to address contemporary issues and provoke
thoughts.
In my Solo work, SOFT BLAST the core of my interest is sound design and sound body connection. I research how to create soundscapes and how to connect that to my body and movement. I’m interested about sound. Co-presence with sound, creating atmosphere to the space and seeing what that does to me and to the audience. Right now, I want to pursue this heavy, strong space and how to make opposition for this force. How can I be a part of the sound with my body? Voices moving in space, how to move them as the practice keeps on going. Moving speaker moves space, could the movement be so immense that audience becomes the performer and me just the pacemaker?
I did the soundscape myself and have a big interest in sound design and music in general. I do little sound designing and DJ:ing all my free time. To this particular project I wanted to focus on bass and rhythm. This interest in sound made me want to include the themes and problems that woman and minorities in music industry face. I have a great passion for bringing the voices of different communities to the foreground in large institutions and on stages.
Shattering stereotypes and shattering glass ceilings in the music industry.
The music industry has long been dominated by a narrative that equates success with a middle-aged, white male artist. This narrative not only shape art movements and market dynamics, but also sneaks into the world of music production, where less than 30% are women and gender minorities. The underrepresentation of women and minorities in the music industry is a multifaceted challenge that extends beyond gender to race and ethnicity. The music industry often sexualizes female artists, diminishes their talents, and belittles their experiences. Programs that support women and minorities in building musical competence are emerging as an important necessity to increase their participation in a historically male-dominated field.
The gap between men and women in the arts, especially in songwriting, production and design, remains a significant challenge. The intersection of gender and racial/ethnic background complicates the issue even further, as underrepresented racial/ethnic groups make up a significant portion of both male and female artists.
In conclusion, the rise of female and minority music producers serves as a sign of progress in an industry marred by historical biases. As these pioneering musicians
continue to defy the norm, the music industry must respond by supporting an environment that empowers and supports their endeavors. Only then can we confidently state that the glass ceiling has been shattered, paving the way for a future where talent knows no gender or ethnic boundaries in the world of music.
