Natalia Beylis

Natalia Beylis is a musician, composer and sound artist based in County Leitrim, in the north west of Ireland. She plays piano, organ, keyboards and mandola, and she mixes them with cassette tapes, field recordings and the sounds of found objects. Her pieces often draw on her rural surroundings: birds, trees, farm animals, wind and rain. Natalia Beylis made Variations on a Sewing Machine for Nyahh Records by playing a domestic sewing machine until its motor burned out.
