Daniela O’Fee arrives at soundscape work after an extensive career in piano performance to re-tune her listening practice and re-assess sound as a social and ecological resource. Studies in the areas of sculpture and intermedia at Thompson Rivers University further her late-career investigation of wood bending, obsolete media, decommissioned musical instruments, field recording, extended piano techniques and graphic scores. Her work Tuning in, Tuning out for Solo Listener is included in the University’s permanent art collection. Daniela holds a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Victoria where she was the winner of the school’s concerto competition. She actively contributes to her local arts community in Kamloops for which she earned the BC Culture Days Ambassador prize and is currently nominated for the Mayor’s Performing Artist of the Year award. Daniela shares her work with galleries, artist run centres, music organizations and independent radio programs throughout British Columbia, Canada.
