Spacedog

A musician, writer and roboticist, Sarah Angliss (Spacedog) is known for her dreamlike performances, incorporating Edison phonographs, theremins, animated vent dolls and other curious machines. Sarah regularly performs live and is particularly known for her skills on the theremin and the musical automata which she makes to accompany her on stage. Sarah takes a keen interest in acoustics, the psychology of listening and in unusual physical interfaces. Her solo and collaborative work has explored musicians’ attitudes to the first drum machines and samplers, the uncanny valley, caged birds as primordial sound recorders, the stranger obsessions of early adopters of phonography and the reputed psychological effects of infrasound.
