The Anchoress is a new project from Welsh multi-instrumentalist Catherine Anne Davies.

Working through multiple arts (drawing, music, poetry), Michaël Koswill composes melancholic music inspired by space and silence. Initially trained in percussion, he has long explored sounds to create particular atmospheres such as choreographies or soundtracks of films whose mysterious stories are only visible in his imagination. He also writes poems, paints and draws what he considers to be "brief forms for lively gestures".

Within the artistic collective Unclearpicture, he composes and writes texts inspired by the original photographic work of Sylvain Entressangle.

Travaillant au travers de multiples arts (dessin, musique, poésie, Michaël Koswill compose des musiques mélancoliques inspirées par l’espace et le silence. Initialement formé aux percussions, il explore depuis longtemps les sons pour créer des ambiances particulières comme autant de chorégraphies ou de bandes originales de films dont les histoires mystérieuses seraient uniquement visibles dans son imagination. Il écrit par ailleurs des poèmes, peint et dessine ce qu'il considère être des "formes brèves pour gestes vifs". 

Au sein du collectif artistique Unclearpicture, Il compose et écrit des textes inspirés du travail photographique original de Sylvain Entressangle.
