Influences: Vanessa Lann's music doesn't fall easily into one category; while it would most likely be described as "classical," it is usually experienced in settings outside of the traditional concert hall and is often combined with other media in unusual contexts. In line with her affinity for Eastern ways of listening to and engaging with sound and silence, Lann constantly tries to reinvent the rituals normally associated with the sharing of music in a live setting. Ceremony, humor, meditation and theater play a part in her constant experimentation with extremes, her exploration of one's understanding of Time and Memory, and her preference for questioning, rather than telling, when it comes to creativity.
Sounds Like: The music is about challenging performance stereotypes and expectations: it can sound like "everything you've heard before," or "nothing you've ever dreamt of".
