Adriana Sa is transdisciplinary artist, performer musician/ composer, with a background in music
and fine arts. She has been developing and presenting her work in Europe, USA and Japan since
1995. Adriana worked full-time on her artistic projects until 2009, with grants, supports and
commissions. During this period she developed a number of project-series, involving
many Portuguese and international artists. Subsequently she was a lecturer, until she started a
practice-based PhD in arts and computing technologies, in the UK. Adriana is developing a perceptual
approach to instrument design, composition and performance, in which she outlines the boundaries
of artistic insights with the aid of cognition/ attention science. This research feeds back into
compositional strategies that take advantage of disparities between acoustic and digital. Throughout
the years, Adriana used sensor technologies to explore music as connected to light, movement,
architecture and weather. She developed and performed with an audio-visual instrument including an
acoustic zither and 3D software, where sound and image affect each other reciprocally. She also
augmented the zither with software that detunes audio samples based on pitch detection "error".
Adriana's graphical scores choreograph texture, density, dominance and sequence variations rather
than clock-time or note arrangements.
