Friday, 3:00 p.m.

Nat Grant is a percussionist, sound-artist, composer and teacher whose experiences include playing in pop, classical, experimental and new music groups. Since 2009, she has been giving solo performances, lectures and demonstrations utilizing live looping with digital manipulation of acoustic sound sources, with some of her first performances in this format at the Y2K9 International Live Looping Festival in Santa Cruz, California. Nat was the first Australian artist invited to perform at this festival in its nine-year history, and was invited back in 2010. Nat works predominantly as a freelance artist and has worked as a composer in the fields of puppetry, theatre, film, animation, and dance. She has recently completed her master’s degree in Performance/Composition at the Victorian College of the Arts (University of Melbourne), and was invited to share the results of her research findings at the 2010 ‘This is Not Art’ Festival in Newcastle (NSW).
