Honolulu, 2016
Anemone Anomaly is an award-winning experimental performer and composer for film, dance and theater, whose music has been heard around the globe. Born and raised in the wild state of Idaho, Anomaly is interested in the complex interactions between nature and technology. Keen attention to her immediate surroundings forms the core of AA's artistic practice, making her an accomplished improviser and a sensitive collaborator.

Anomaly's sounds spring from broad and eclectic listening experience. She has studied audio media with Ted Apel, John Bischoff, James Fei, Jeff Lubow & Nicolas Collins, music improvisation with Fred Frith, Roscoe Mitchell, Pauline Olveros & Zeena Parkins; voice with Giselle Wyers, Molly Holm, Jonathan Nadel, Etsuko Takezawa & Makiko Sakurai; and Japanese musics (nagauta, hauta & kouta shamisen, jiuta koto) with Makoto Nishimura, Curtis Patterson & Kasuga Shibahime. Years of working in Japan shape AA's approach to life as well as music.
