She has performed with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra and premiered her works at Lincoln Center. As much as the Theremin is a tool in Chrysler’s electronic instrument arsenal, she is also one of the most visible Thereminists spreading the gospel of this mysterious sounding instrument.
Most recently she finished a soundtrack for “M” a TV Series remake by David Schalko and has been featured on the soundtrack of the HBO documentary “Going Clear”. The theatre production “3 Episodes of Life” featuring her music has received the “Nestroy Prize” in 2020.

As the director of the NY Theremin Society, Chrysler is promoting the application of theremin in different art disciplines and has produced THEREMIN100 - a compilation released in 2020, honoring the centennial of the Theremin and featuring 50 Thereminists from 18 countries.

Marta Zapparoli
Marta Zapparoli is an Italian experimental sound artist, improviser, performer, self-taught researcher active in sound art since 2003. In her work, there is a deep relationship between energies, electromagnetic, magnetic, radio waves, sensorial and matter, as well as the acoustical. She also employs a wide range of experimental techniques and equipment. She uses scientific and technological tools (including antennas, some of them self-built and detectors, radio receivers, sdr) as a medium to develop her sound project. In recent years her practice has been focused on self-made recordings of the electromagnetic spectrum coming from the atmosphere and the outer-space, as the primary material for her artistic investigation. This environment is an endless source of information that stimulates her imagination, creativity, and awareness, and allows her to enter into boundless territories. She brings the invisible sonic web into a distinct aurality, transforming reality into new visions through compositions, live performances, and site-specific sound interventions. Besides her solo project, she has extensive duos and larger group collaborations including Pareidolia with (Liz Allbee), The Elks (Fagaschinski, Roisz, Allbee), Circuit Training V ensemble, Vertigo Transport (with Burkhard Beins), duo with Billy Roisz, a duo with Greta Christensen, Trio with Martin Lorenz, Sebastian Hofmann. Since 2009 She is a member of Berlin’s 24-piece Splitter Orchester. She has played with many regarded musicians and bands and performed worldwide in festivals such as: Maerzmusik, Atonal, A’LARM, Fusion, Darmstädt, Sincussion, Heroines of Sound, Eavesdrop (Germany), Huddersfield, Sonorities, Colour out of Space (UK), Borealis (Norway), Sonic Circuit , High Zero(US),Geiger(Sweden), Konfrontationen, ArtActs (Austria), Zwei Tage Strom, Earweare (Switzerland), Crack, Meteo Mulhouse Music Fest (France), Alternativa (CZ) among others. She released as solo on: Idiosyncratic rec, Zeromoon rec, TMRW tape label, Glistening Examples rec. Collaborative releases on: Mikroton rec, NebulaRosa Rec, Spina rec, Gagarin Rec, Urban Art rec, Nohmand rec.

Sinking Into The Dark (Live Performance)
"Sinking into the Dark" is an ongoing performance that began in 2019, focused on psychoacoustics, mutations of radio waves in time and space, minimal body movement, the use of self-built antennas with real-time reception of radio wave communications, including (morse code, naval and air, wireless and satellite). In addition, a selected recording of VLF (Natural Radio phenomena) and electromagnetic waves from outer space, recorded during artistic residencies and at the Astronomical Observatory of San Giovanni di Luserna (Italy), will be used on reel- to-reel tape machine. "Sinking into the dark" is a deep critical thinking and exploration of the invisible electromagnetic web of our hidden "natural" and "polluted" environment, its constant mutation in time and space, reflecting the reality of our social and political world and the impact of these signals on our body and senses. An important and playful factor is to work with "the unpredictable" and the process of transforming/orchestrating these signals into a real-time musical flow. The first Premiere was, at KM28 (Entangled Sounds series), Berlin 06.12.19
