Judith Hamann is a cellist and performer/composer from Melbourne, Australia. She has “long been recognised as one of Australia’s foremost contemporary-music cellists” (RealTime Arts) and as a composer who “destroys the fiction of the musician who lives and works outside conventional parameters and puts in its place a series of compositions that are fundamentally humane” (Louise Grey, “Wire” magazine). Her work encompasses performance, improvisation, electro-acoustic composition, field recording, electronics, site-specific generative work, and micro-tonal systems in a deeply considered process-based creative practice.
Judith has worked with artists and ensembles including Oren Ambarchi, Dennis Cooper, Sarah Hennies, Yvette Janine Jackson, Graham Lambkin, Alvin Lucier, Toshimaru Nakamura, The Necks, Áine O’Dwyer, Stephen O’Malley, Eliane Radigue, Tashi Wada, and La Monte Young. Judith is a member of Golden Fur, Berlin-based Harmonic Space Orchestra, and has duo projects with Anthea Caddy and Lori Goldston.
