“There’s a great connection between walking and listening. Everything is rhythm. Direct and pure. Speaking the ecology of a here”
Anna Muchin is a Greek-French sound artist, composer, vocalist, and performer based in Brussels.

Starting piano and music theory at 6 in Toulouse, she refined her technical practice at Goldsmiths University of London, studying
Field Recording, Programming Synthesisers, Studio Recording, and Film Music Composition.
Through field recordings, granular synthesis, and vocal work, Muchin creates sonic environments that examine our relationship with place, presence, and collective experience. Her sound works have been presented internationally, including ‘Have you been on a walk?‘ commissioned by iMKONSTHALL (Sweden) and ‘On revient dans un éclat‘ featured at Cinema for the Ears in Wiesbaden (Germany).
As singer-songwriter Scarlett O’Hanna, she has released four studio albums and performed across Europe, Japan, and the USA. Her compositional work extends to scores for radio productions, film, and dance performances, collaborating with choreographers like Claire Vivianne Sobottke and Vera Tussing. Holding an MA in Translation (English-Greek-French), she specialises in radio works translation with Brussels’ Atelier de Création Sonore et Radiophonique.
Alongside her artistic practice, Anna is actively involved with Engagement Arts, addressing systemic issues in the Belgian professional and educational arts field.
