Natasha Barrett is known internationally for her intense explorations of the movement of sounds through space.

She treats spatialisation as a musical parameter, and told the New York Times, “I’m really concerned with the idea of tangibility. Sound is invisible, but we can do things that make you want to reach out and touch it.” Barrett describes her inspiration as coming from the immediate sounding matter of the world around us, as well as the way it behaves. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Barrett's works are performed and commissioned throughout the world, and have received a long list of prizes, including the Giga-Hertz Award and the Bourges International Electroacoustic Music Awards.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Persistence of Sound","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50490796179787,"sku":"2048590","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/e73d9845-5dbe-2dbc-b063-ca28d66095d3_d2775af3_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727674666"},{"product_id":"toxic-colour","title":"Toxic Colour","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNatasha Barrett returns with a new collection of pieces originating from environmental sounds recorded using 3D ambisonic microphones. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThese recordings have been deconstructed, processed, and composed into abstract musical journeys that no longer transport the listener to the original recording locations.
