New Contemporary Acousmatic Noise
Hyaena Reich (Iana Reis) is a portuguese composer and performer. She has been developing a body of sound work since 1996. Her work spins around experimentation and improvisation, involving the capture of real life sounds and ambients, as well as improvised and planned sound sequences with uncanny sound sources – metal and wood objects, stones or the exploration of sounds in spaces with specific acoustic characteristics – being afterwards edited and sequenced according to soundtrack-building techniques, breaking the borders between mere experimental music and sound in cinematic space.
She has a background of Film Studies, Sound Engineering and Scriptwriting taken at the Lisbon Conservatory, is daughter of film directors Margarida Cordeiro and António Reis, has studied matters of improvisation, experimentalism and musicology with portuguese experimental pioneers Vitor Rua and Jorge Lima Barreto (from experimental duo Telectu) and has fronted the solo projects Imbolc, ZLKNF and Arraial, being also the head of experimentalist collective Sabotage en Masse.
This is a short bio of our new portuguese friend Iana Reis. She contacted LorenzFactor a few months ago showing some interest in working together. We introduced her our DubEarth.com and ask her for some occasional participation in our family. As you can see she accepted the invitation.
The theme AGNELLA DIRIGIRE I is from 2008 and comes to us in first hand, because it is going to be part of the next album VIDEA (not yet released). LUNGO IL SENTIERO VERSO OLTREMARE is from 2004.
You can find her work @:

Hope her sound take you as far as we went and you enjoy the trip as much as we did!
“Honest pioneer work in the field of science has always been, and will continue to be, life’s pilot. On all sides, life is surrounded by hostility. This puts us under an obligation.”
