Vienna-based musician and filmmaker Billy Roisz has been a driving force in the experimental music scene for many years. Self-taught, she stems from the extremely open DIY environment of the digital and analog electronic and noise scene in Vienna at the beginning of the 21st century. She has earned critical acclaim for her artistic work, which ranges from the cinematic (her films are regularly screened at major film festivals such as Berlinale-Shorts or the IFF Rotterdam) to pure audio works. Her first solo release Walking The Monkey dates back to 2012 (Editions Mego) and in 2023 she released her successor Bajo on Ventil Records. The aesthetics of image and sound glitches, such as feedback and distortion, are central to her sense of experimentation. She does audio-visual live performances, concerts, cinematic works, and spatial installations, often solo, but also in close collaboration with artists from the fields of experimental electronics and noise.
