Hanna's Atelier for Sonorous Arts Ljubljana is a comprehensive centre for the exploration, creation, development and promotion of sound arts and related disciplines in Slovenia and abroad. It was established in February 2006 by Hanna Preuss, who was born in Poland and educated in sound direction at the Polish Film Academy, Lodz. Since 1979 she has worked as sound designer and sound engineer on more than 120 short, animated, documentary, experimental and feature-length Slovene or international films. For her accomplishments she has gained numerous awards including the Golden Medal at the Belgrade Film festival in Yugoslavia, the Golden Arena at the Pula Film Festival in Croatia, the American Westrex Award in Trieste, Italy, and several Metod Badjura National Awards for best sound at the Festival of Slovenian Film. In 1988 she received the Župančič Award of the City of Ljubljana.

Hanna's Atelier explores the power of sonoric matters in film and performance and also points at the importance of sounds in every day life and the sounds of our subconsciousness. Preuss also engages in educational activities, and the Atelier's programmes and activities include workshops on the role of sound in perception and in the evocation of emotion and meaning in an artistic context (designed for students of all ages, backgrounds and skill levels).

Hanna Preuss collaborates with a wide range of artists from the field of theatre, film, contemporary dance, visual arts and graphic design. She has been engaged in the creation of sound compositions for the theatre and visual installations. She designed soundscapes for the performances Mezzanino, Hi Res and Gallery of Dead Women by the female dance duo Maja Delak and Mala Kline (see Emanat, Dance Production and Education). Preuss has also created a range of interdisciplinary projects, exhibitions and installations, including Sonoria, Reversible Pixelator, Assonanza tra due citta and Tea in 2006, and Sonorous Journey in 2007. Recordings of her projects are usually available on CD-ROM.
