Tessa Elieff‘s work stems from her fascination with our perceptions of, ‘Sonic Environment’, - how we construct our surrounding realities and the resultant interpretations we live by and conclude as being absolute. Her live performance explores relationships between sound, space, time and perception via processed field recordings and multi-speaker systems in various surround sound formations. Methods utilized draw from concepts of the Acousmonium as developed by Francois Bayle (1974), with her favoured tools for sculpting sounds including architectural cavities (manmade and natural), sonic/spatial memory, concrete, steel, stone and controlled systems of diffusion. Her compositions consist of moments that are as true to life as is possible – as unprocessed and as, ‘Real’, as our self proclaimed reality can be and moments where this reality will slip and shift, fracturing the represented environment from one that is an assumed absolute, to the other - that sits within the shell of our perceptions. Her live performance has been seen in countries including Australia, Austria and France with the most recent event being in September 2012, for the launch of her debut album, ‘Selected Realities’, on the Viennese experimental music label, ‘Moozak’. Her work has been played on radio stations in Australia, Finland, France, London, Spain and Italy that is known of. In 2013 her plans include assisting Chantal Passamonte AKA Mira Calix during her work at the Australian, ‘Metropolis New Music Festival’ and a location based recording project with internationally renown field recordist, Chris Watson, involving traveling along the coast of North East England. During this travel, Tessa will head to Belgium for the 20th acousmatic international festival, ‘Le E’space du Son.
