ANNA ZARADNY is A saxophone player, an improviser. One of the main members of the trio
“Stuckonceiling”, together with Robert Piotrowicz, Tony Buck (The Necks,
Kletka Red), and Joe Williamson. She experiments on the so-called
“extended technics” developing multiphones, etc. She has gone through
different stages of fascination with
various styles and now she tends to play improvised and experimental music.
Apart from pure improvisation she is also looking for a sense of direction
improvised music might have. She is on the brink of losing control while trying
to find her own style. The instrument is for Zaradny an open, closed
possibility.
At the same time Anna Zaradny is completing her classical education as a
saxophone student at the Music Academy of Szczecin.
She has appeared on stage with many musicians (e.g. with John Butcher,
Scott Rosenberg, Christer Irgens Moller, Kumi Wakao, Kyle Bruckmann,
and Jerome Noetinger). She took part in the following festivals: Audio Art
Festival 2000 in Kraków, Muzyka z Mózgu (“Music from Brain”) 2000, "In
Between” Chicago 2001,
Jazz in E. Germany, Copenhagen Jazz Festiwal 2001. She has been staging
concerts in many countries, such as Italy, Germany, Norway, Denmark, and
the U.S.A,and in many well known places (Empty Bottle, Knitting Factory,
