Rebecca Riggs-Bennett (she/they) is an Anglo-Australian artist and composer-sound designer based in Boorloo on Whadjuk country. She works with sound as a device that transmits, transports and transforms, often through forms of live art, installation, and spoken narratives. Through what can be termed as interdisciplinary, socially-engaged and experiential practice, Rebecca examines systems, entangled histories, ecological networks and personhood to generate immersive and participatory possibilities. 

As an artist, they collaborate, write, perform and experiment. Projects include so once you were here they had you (commissioned by Fremantle Biennale 2023), Rabbit Punch (2021), Our Sandman (Cool Change Contemporary 2019) and my sandman (Crack Theatre Festival 2017). 

Her sonic work includes Punkaliyarra (BighART/Perth Festival 2023), Painting With Light (Meridian Regional Arts 2022), Time Reveals The Unseen (MOD. Adelaide 2022), Nocturna (The Kabuki Drop 2021) Habitats & Homes (10 Nights In Port Festival 2021), Playthings (Black Swan State Theatre Company 2021), Whale Fall (The Kabuki Drop/Perth Festival 2021), Boxed In (WAYTCO 2020).They work with field recordings, audio interviews, samples, vocals and written scores to compose her designs.

​In 2020, Rebecca's solo music project Elsewhere/Rebecca released a debut album, With Me, We Walk as an interactive headphone experience. The album also released three corresponding music videos and was featured by RTRFM and Seesaw Arts Magazine. Elsewhere/Rebecca was recently been nominated for a 2021 West Australian Music award under Best Electronic Producer.
