Antonia Barnett-McIntosh is a composer-performer, sound artist and freelance curator. She employs chance-based and procedural operations to devise works that involve elements of slippage and forced failure, the live space and improvisation. Her works with words investigate speech as music: the pitches, rhythms, conversational overlaps of our everyday. Antonia is currently Composer in Residence at Te Kōki–New Zealand School of Music at Victoria University of Wellington.
