Marina Tantanozi

Marina Tantanozi is a flutist and improviser born in Thessaloniki and based in Basel, Switzerland. Her practice is based on the process of creating a personal idiom through the experience of sound and active listening. She combines voice, spoken text, microtonal textures, and electronic processing in order to create her own language and to expand the technical and expressive possibilities of her instruments. She explores music-making in diverse settings, at the intersection of improvised, experimental, electroacoustic, and new music, as well as interdisciplinary work. Marina is currently playing with the Joyful Noise, Insub Meta orchestra, Aquaserge, the tangent+mek trio, and she has performed with artists such as Eve Risser, Clara de Asis, Julian Sartorius, Franz Loriot, Camille Emaille, Julien Desprez, Susana Santos Silva, Igor Stepniewski, and Timothée Quost. Festival and club performances have led her on different tours around Europe and Russia. Next to her work as a performer, Marina co-curated the monthly series of improvised music KlangBang in Basel (2015–2019) and recently co-founded adhocArts in Athens.
