Samm Anga
Duration
A graduate from the London College of Communication MA Sound Arts programme, Samm Anga’s work equips a sonic flirtation with mythology and storytelling, re-contextualising themes of identity and the Self within audiovisual displays. Based in Aberdeen, he has been expanding his musical background and honing his specialism in all things sound-related over the last few years.
As a student, he co-founded Re-Analogue, a collective that curated and produced a wide range of events, including film festivals and performance nights, culminating in a multidisciplinary arts festival, SUB.LIMINAL, that he conceptualised and directed. Scoring work for short films and BBC New Creatives, he seamlessly infuses the sonic into multimedia.
Cryptic’s artist residency programme provides professional development time and support for musicians and digital artists to focus upon their own practice, whilst engaging with other artists and receiving peer-to-peer learning. The emphasis of Cryptic’s residency programme is on research and the development of existing or new work and is not geared towards a final presentation.
Since 2012, Cryptic has curated this annual artist residency programme at Cove Park focusing on music, sound and multi-media, with over 78 artists benefitting.
Cryptic’s residency programme is supported by British Council, Creative Scotland, PRSF Foundation, KulturLX, Diaphonique, UK/UA Creative Partnerships and the Embassy of the Kingdom of The Netherlands.
