The worldmaking of Sound Quartet and the ensemble’s captivating music is shaped by electroacoustic development work, such as the development of new interfaces between humans and machines and the exploration of new playing techniques where acoustic instruments meet innovative electronics. Through their joint composition and development work, the ensemble’s members create experimental audiovisual performances with the chance for great musical experiences outside the usual musical frameworks.
The ensemble was founded in the nineties at the Elektronmusikstudion (EMS) in Sweden and Musiques Inventive d’Annecy (MIA) in France with Thomas Bjelkeborn as the main organizer and Philippe Moenne-Loccoz Lyon as co-founder. The quartet’s constellations of musicians vary continuously from all-Swedish ensembles to variants with guest musicians from, among others, Spain, France, and Austria. This year’s activities for Sound Quartet are supported by the Swedish Arts Council. Previous projects have been carried out with support from Kultur Stockholm, Musikverket, and the Helge Ax:son Johnson Foundation.
Martina Claussen comes from a background of classical vocal performance (amongst others performing at the Volksoper Vienna, the Musikverein and Konzerthaus Vienna) over the past 10 years Martina Claussen expanded her artistic practice into electronic music composition and performance. As a composer and vocal artist she explores and combines the sounds of the human voice and sound objects with field recordings, analogue and digital electronics. She explores the space and the performative action and has over the years steadily developed her own, distinctive style of music.
