Synthotronica is the alter-ego of award-winning artist, composer and multi-instrumentalist Ania Reynolds, who has performed her original music across five continents, shared a saxophone solo duet with Femi Kuti and played baritone sax hanging upside down at the National Theatre in London. Her live performance has been described as a ‘stunning display of musicality' (Nicole Precel, SMH 2019). Afrobeat, Samba, Dub/reggae, Cumbia, Balkan Beat, Electro Swing, Ethio-Jazz and more feature in her original sound that has been variously described as Wonkadelic, Techno Jazz, Steampunk Swing and Cosmic Groove. A seasoned and energetic performer equally at home on festival stages and the streets, Synthotronica's global performances include: Tokyo International Baritone Saxophone Festival; Cantagalo Favela, Clubs Geral and Desvio and Honk! Festival Rio de Janeiro; Buskers' World Games and the Gwangju International Festival of Recollection, South Korea; Tollwood Winter Festival Munich; and yearly summer tours of the South of France. She has performed and collaborated with international artists and ensembles including Tokyo Chutei Iki (Japan), Yakassemé (France), and Pat Thomas (Ghana), and has been the Musical Director of Circus Oz and Yothu Yindi And The Treaty Project.
Forecast: groovy, with the chance of triangle solos.
