   About Beatrix Ward-Fernandez
THEREMIN, VIOLIN, E.VIOLIN, CASTANETS

Born in London and raised in Cadiz, Southern Spain, she began classical violin training on her return to England.

Her interest in creative/improvised musics led to her adoption of the theremin, and its integration and use within acoustic/experimental ensembles. Developing new techniques to meet the demands of these musics became an abiding interest.

Over the past few years she has recorded and/or performed with many creative artists, including Mick Beck, Pat Thomas, J.D. Parran, Jez riley French, Pleasure-Drenching Improvers, Paul Dunmall, Chris Corsano and Okkyung Lee. In July 2007 her trio performed at the theremin symposium "Hands Off".

She continues to work with Charlie Collins on a number of projects, including her Trio (with tuba player Derek Saw), The Navigators (with guitarist John Jasnoch) and Swift are the Winds of Life (with violinist Yvonna Magda).

She also has a duo with Martin Archer and is a member of Mick Beck's improvising big band The Gated Community, as well as numerous ad-hoc ensembles.

"My influences are varied: from the deeply enchanting Claude Debussy and John Surman, Bela Bartok, Dirty Three and the great Leroy Jenkins, to my Southern Spanish background - I can always be tempted with a bit of flamenco or a chirigota or two."

"I want to explore the outer limits for the use of music, sound and words.
All my pieces are unique creations born of the space around me at the time. They are one with their environment seducing the listener to a world not visited by others. I transmit their voices through my playing giving them the freedom of that time and place."
