exploring space + time
through sound + light

I'm annu. Let's take a few breaths before diving in.

Everything I create is an exploration of how to shift the way we experience ourselves.

I’m a sonic and immersive artist, drawn to explore the cosmos without and within. As a musician, I make records about my inner world, my human experience. As a storyteller, I make immersive shows and installations that travel out to the cosmic scale, then come home to our human experience on this planet.

experiences

cosmic

Installations and immersive performances that carry an audience to orbit and back, bringing the Overview Effect down to Earth.

bodily

Spaces built for the nervous system. Light and 360° sound that slow the breath and quiet the noise.

communal

Live performances, sound journeys, gatherings, and community.

cosmic perspective

An immersive stage performance that takes audiences on a journey to space and back. I narrate and compose live while my MI.MU gloves run the music, lights and visuals, woven with my own interviews with astronauts regarding their profound Overview Effect experiences. Designed for stages and spaces both intimate and grand.

First performed at LEAP, Riyadh, in 2022. Since then in Tulum, Bacalar, AlUla, at Biosphere 2, and in the dome at Texas Eclipse.

pause

A standalone immersive installation: A meditative womb, built as an antidote to the overwhelm of modern life. Step inside, and light and 360° sound move with a box breath until the body follows.

overview

A standalone immersive installation. You lie down, and the ceiling opens to a Dolby Atmos 360° immersive meditation, an intimate sonic journey from Earth to space and back, instilling the sense of presence and awe so common to the astronaut's experience of the Overview Effect.

Premiered at IMMERSIVE, Palacio de Hierro, Mexico City, in 2023, and in the dome at Texas Eclipse in 2024. Co-produced with Lacho Villanueva, Videoso, Pablo Todd, with audio production support from Nick Jones.

live music performance

My Future Dream Pop songs, performed as a show with storytelling woven throughout. I play synthesizers, drums, loop, and sing. My MI.MU gloves turn my hands into instruments as I shape the sound and light for a truly immersive show.

about

I've spent decades recording albums and enjoying multi-year tours across North America. In 2022, I became annu, and took my solo show around the world, from the desert of Saudi Arabia to the Mexican coast to a remote peninsula of Iceland. Along the way, I composed music for planetarium shows, films, and VR experiences, and built immersive installations that incorporate my music, visual art, and storytelling.

In 2024, I became a mother, and the work got so much richer and deeper. MOTHERSHIP is the record I'm currently producing to reflect this profound moment in my life.

Past collaborations Imogen Heap, Jim James, My Morning Jacket, Conor Oberst, Basia Bulat, Dr. Sian Proctor, Test Shot Starfish, Twin Limb, Videoso, Frank White, and many more.

I'd love to connect.

Everything here can travel. Installations, performances, talks and commissions, for venues, retreats, museums, domes and films.
