Sound artist anti_saunt creates soundscapes that unfold like surreal stories — somewhere between the realm of dreams, dark fantasies, nightmares, and everyday life. Her pieces are stories with a touch of sarcasm.

She sometimes records everyday sounds and accompanies them with spoken word in her pieces. But the sounds are often distorted in such a dystopian way that this very everydayness turns into horror. They are like a testimony to the lightness as well as the gloom and pain of contemporary life; at the same time, they reflect the latent, eerie threat that always resonates within it and affects us all on a daily basis.

Poetry, spoken softly or distorted, hovers over the pieces like a mysterious fog, guiding listeners through these dreamlike worlds. Sometimes lighthearted, sometimes eerie, but always full of experimental brilliance, she moves in a space that dissolves the boundaries between sound, text, and imagination.

Her experimental soundscapes are reminiscent of the fleeting nature of fragments of memory in which reality constantly slips away. The familiar becomes something alien. The alienation seems like an overly sarcastic commentary. One ultimately ends up questioning one’s own existence, coupled with a feeling of the unbearable simplicity and heaviness of being human.

The contrasts inherent in anti_saunt's pieces give them their dark and narrative power. As if they were echoing through walls, as if they were recorded in a dark cave in the forest, and yet in the middle of the city. As if you were far away, yet accompanying anti_saunt on their musical journeys.
