primarily with voice and violin. Her interest lies in live performance
through the exploration of the violin, using it not only as an
instrument but also a controller to shift heavy, dense sound textures
through electronic machines. <br />
She has worked within a
broad range of genres from classical to noise, baroque to rock, and
uses digital manipulation and signal processing to colour her own unique
sound.<br />
Geraldine has collaborated and performed with various artists such as
the programming/music group The CaneToad Orchestra, harsh noise with
HYLICS, semi-electronic, free-improvisers the Vultures, baroque
violinist Andrew Manze and the English Concert orchestra, burlesque
performances with dance and circus acts and has performed in a range of
venues including concert halls, jazz clubs, pubs, basements and streets.<br />
Her work in music has seen Geraldine conducting orchestral and choral
pieces, instrumental and theoretic tutoring, workshop leading, ensemble
coaching, composition and arranging.<br />
