Greie also runs her own production company, AGF Producktion, and has produced records for other artists most famously for Ellen Allien (SOOL, 2009, BPitch). In 2012/13 Greie-Ripatti was artistic director of Hai Art, an arts organization in Hailuoto.

Works/ Overview

The start of Antye’s solo career was marked by the artistic exploration of digital tech-nology. On her first solo album Head Slash Bauch (Orthlorng Musork 2001), she con-verted fragments of HTML scripts and software handbooks into a form of electronic poetry and deconstructed pop.

The follow-up work, Westernization Completed, won an Award of Distinction at the 2004 Ars Electronica festival. Her collaboration with Sue Costabile involving live audio-visual improvisation resulted in the 2006 AGF.3 + SUE.C CD/DVD release called Mini Movies (on Asphodel, USA). In 2008 she published an audio-visual work called Words Are Missing exhibiting conceptual compositions and calligraphic art. This was followed by the internet-only release of the work Dance Floor Drachen in which the artist argued and considered the value of art in the times of download culture and information age. In 2009 the album Einzelkämpfer (Lone Warrior) was released on the artist's label AGF Producktion and an audiovisual web installation Reflections On The Wall followed. In 2009 Greie-Ripatti also wrote the libretto, composed, filmed, co-directed and per-formed the original audiovisual opera Fathers with the laptop group The Lappetites, which premiered at Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin. The year 2010 was marked by Greie-Ripatti co-composing and performing Orlando (Virginia Woolf) alongside Craig Armstrong (Moulin Rouge, Romeo and Juliet, The Great Gatsby) - a music theatre

piece with the theatre company Cryptic, UK. (pictured with Craig Armstrong on stage in Glasgow performing)Greie-Ripatti wrote and produced a record in collaboration with electronic-pioneer Gudrun Gut Baustelle which gained worldwide critical respect. In 2010 the project Wil-derness Performances was founded and has resulted into many Artist-In-Residencies, radio broadcasts and continues as ongoing investigation of digital music in wild nature.

In 2011 Antye Greie-Ripatti founded a sound voice choir called Kaiku in Hailuoto in-volving the local community. The choir imitates sounds of the environment and abstract poetry pieces and publishes audio recordings on soundcloud. This development was followed by the foundation of an experimental artist run project called Hai Art on the remote island which gained an operating fund and a 2 year artistic direction and cura-tion format for Antye Greie-Ripatti. Hai Art became an arts organization with the goal to work in public and social space. Hai Art and Antye as executive director produced a conference, 10 Artist-in-residencies (Sound Room, Sonic Bikes, Anchorhold, Sound Map Hailuoto APP) and workshops, the children iPad Orchestra Hailuoto plus runs a Media Lab. Greie-Ripatti’s debut as a curator and educator in a remote and social con-text has led her to lecture at the Academy of Fine Art in Helsinki and several lectures worldwide.

2013 saw a voice only CD Source Voice on Richard Chartier’s LINE Imprint label.The follow up CD Book of poetry interpretations Kuuntele, which features 4 Finnish vo-calists and Prof. Kari Sallamaa booklet text on Finnish poetry was released end of 2013.

Greie's installation work began in 2000 during a residency at the contemporary art cen-tre Podewil, she staged an open source event by inviting the public to contribute sound and visuals into the performance, 2001 she wrote the exhibition sound track Berlin Klang for the Main Sonar Exhibition in Barcelona, where she also staged a guerrilla performance in the space attracting other artists and audience participating. 2004 in collaboration with Vladislav Delay she exhibited 21 sound pieces into black boxes and placed them into a white cube at the Garage Festival. 2004 she wrote a 50 meter wall-paper poem into a Witte de Witt, Rotterdam. Her latest installations have been audio-

visual pieces online and in public space like active churches, museums and auditori-ums. Wilderness experiments started in 2008 moving to Hailuoto in Finland which are a mixture of field recording, radio art and digital sound. Several commissions took place for Grizedale Arts and Octopus Collective in UK and an artist in residency in Kilipisjarvi at the biological station for Bio Art Society furthered the work on outdoor installations and performances. In 2012 Greie-Ripatti wrote 2 movie scores, one experimental circus-dance perform-ance score, one museum installation piece with Sue.C. which was performed at the performance center EMPAC upstate New York. She also started her solo voice collabo-ration with the french Musique concrète pioneer Eliane Radigue for her composition OCCAM 7.

Her poetry, which she converts into electronic music, pop songs, calligraphy and digi-tal media, has been presented as live performances and sound installations in muse-ums, auditoria, theaters, concert halls and clubs throughout Europe and in North Amer-ica and Asia in festivals such as Ars Electronica Linz, Sonar Barcelona, Transmediale Berlin, GRM Festival Paris, Roskilde, Sync festival Athens, AudioVisiva Milan, Intern. Open Book Festival Moscow, Sonic Acts Amsterdam and staged solo performances in venues like Pompidue Paris, ICC Tokyo, Akademie der Kuenste Berlin, ICA London and many more.

Greie-Ripatti has successfully collaborated with Craig Armstrong, Eliane Radigue, Vla-dislav Delay, Ellen Allien, Gudrun Gut, Kaffe Matthews. She runs her own label and production company AGF Producktion.

Signal To Noise Summer 2008: AGF breaks music academic's restraining order on rhythm and experimentation... with far more advanced take on the rapprochement of technology and the flesh than most.

THE WIRE 02/2008: ... a highly-yield adventure in the still relatively uncharted zone be-tween music and language

NY Times Arts & Leisure section 10th feb 2008: ...engrossing and puzzling...

Other Music review: She impresses with its multiple possible applications: A score for a dance piece; an example of the combination of modern composition and pop; or just plain good listening for all of those who work on computers too much.
