Biography

Annie Hart is is a New York City-based composer, songwriter, and performer. She made her name with David Lynch favorites and Twin Peaks alums, indie synth trio Au Revoir Simone, and has since branched into a wide-ranging solo career.. Her new album, The Weight of a Wave, is an upbeat, fun blend of her DIY punk roots and love of new-wave-inspired vintage synthesizers. Recorded primarily in her basement and at several arts residencies around the world, it was mixed in parts by Jorge Elbrecht (Japanese Breakfast, Hatchie), Joshua Druckman at Outlier Inn (Nude Party, Snail Mail), and Justin Pizzoferrato (Wild Pink, Dinosaur Jr.). Annie’s reputation as a master of composition on analog synthesizers has led her to be chosen to compose the score for several shorts and feature films, including the prestigious ASCAP/Columbia University Film Scoring Workshop, Banana Split (Universal), & Olympic Dreams (IFC). Film scoring, in turn, led her down the path of composing for orchestral instruments and study the art of it at the night school at Juilliard. She has since won several grants for public performances of her chamber and classical work, including a performance by the Argus Quartet. Between 2017 and 2022 Annie released three critically-acclaimed solo albums, including an ambient album on Orindal Records, and completed several world tours. She will be touring the US in August of 2023, both as a headliner and collaboratively with the comedian and musician Fred Armisen.
