Ania is an award-winning composer, producer, multi-instrumentalist and artist who works and collaborates across a range of disciplines. She speaks four languages and has presented her original music and work across five continents. As a composer, she is interested in the power of music as a story-teller, conveying narrative and emotion. Her audiovisual work explores the relationship between music and moving image, and her sound art/installation work seeks to uncover the extraordinary within the seemingly ordinary.
Ania's audiovisual work Audible Lockdown (created in collaboration with Carl Polke for the Australian Music Centre's 2020 Peggy G;anville-Hicks Commissions) won the Best Short Film Award at the 2021 Experimental, Dance and Music Film Festival (Toronto, Canada) and received an Honorable Mention as a semi-finalist in the Prague International Indie Film Festival. Ania and Carl are currently working on a remote artist residency program with the Centre Culturel d'Ambronay, France, as part of the Odyssée Programme International de Résidences d'Artistes.
Ania was an Artist In Residence with cultural organisation Despina in Rio de Janeiro in July 2019, creating and exhibiting the audio installation Música De Coco, the first in her This City This Sound composition series.
She produces original electronic music as artist Synthotronica, releasing her debut solo album UFORIK in 2019. Her track DAFNE was short-listed as a semi-finalist in the International Songwriting Competition 2019. As a solo pianist, Ania has performed at venues ranging from Iwaki Auditorium to Brussels Airport, and performs regularly around Melbourne, including at experimental music night The Make It Up Club.
