An updated version of this piece that I've been working on for the last week or so.

Composing for this kind of ensemble is a new thing for me. This is hopefully one of the final pieces for my PhD portfolio. I just need to find a group of musicians to perform and record it for me.

Diana Mavroleon in conversation with Annemarie Borg 12 May 
"Annemarie Borg's work is eclectic in that it traverses both mixed media and the individual/separate forms of music, words, poetry, sounds and the visual arts. As Founder of the ‘Antara Project’ Borg uses art forms as tools to deal with her main concerns: the fundamental changes in social and cultural environments and how these affect the present day and generations to come. “In today's world we have created our own challenge, are we now up to the task of facing it? In this task what is the part Artists can assume?” (AMB). Antara aims to build a louder voice through Art and will result in a compilation album and a day conference/performance later this year. Borg’s ‘live’ shows range from classical repertoire to experimental music with organic sound-scapes, electronica, improvisation, often in collaboration with other musicians...
Resurgence Magazine Dec 2012 Jan 2013: review by Lorna Howarth
"Antara is a fresh and innovative project that curates Art as if the future matters. "For a future worth living, we must invest in creativity now" says Annemarie. (the full interview and review is available on my website and at Resurgence.org)
 
Her current projects include: “Still Motion” "Cameos" "perceptions" "Kantele" and "Antara/YWhales"-a mix of  live performances started in Spring 2012 in London (Classical meets Ambient, Jazz and Electronic with improvisations on canvases of atmospheric tones and moods) and recording projects. Two new album released in July 2013. Born in Paris, with a French/Swedish background, Borg was a child musician who went on to study Business and International Law in Paris, and Music, Opera, Performance and Acting in London. www.annemarieborg.com  http://antara-project.com/ www.informal4u.com

"I'm a mellow artist, ageing 69. I love and release eclectic music, from post-classical to drone. My fave instrument is the Mellotron."

Così, sinteticamente, di solito mi presento.

In genere compongo musica partendo dal suono delle tastiere, ma il mio vero strumento è il registratore.

O i software di registrazione.

"I was made for loving and making recorded music."

Confido da sempre nel potere evocativo e orfico della musica, nella sua capacità di riconsegnarci a mondi più veri e più giusti, più belli di quelli in cui di solito viviamo.

SoundCloud è la piattaforma musicale che preferisco perché è soprattutto il regno degli ‘amateurs’, di quelli che fanno musica per sé e per gli amici .. come quando da ragazzi si condividevano con gli altri le invenzioni e le creazioni .. io sostanzialmente sono rimasto lì e così .. non sempre, ovviamente, ma spesso ci trovo delle cose che valgono altrettanto - se non di più - rispetto a quelle più affermate e conosciute

Pete Swinton is a half Hungarian, half Polish man born in London, UK in 1961. Between 1988 and 2003 he lived in Portugal. Since 2015 he lives in Jawa, Indonesia. He began playing guitar in the '70s. He started playing keyboards in the 2000s. He makes Ambient and Experimental music. And a cross between the 2 which he calls Insanbient music. He was using the name Srigala but has now stopped. (To hear the music as accurately as it was recorded and mixed the use of headphones is strongly recommended)
