Marta Forsberg

Marta Forsberg is a composer, sound artist and musician working within the field of installation art and electronic music. Dedicated to creating an immersive environment, her work explores intimacy in music and performance through minimalist sound and light sculptures - a sonic visualisation. In 2012 Marta founded Konstmusiksystrar together with composer Lo Kristenson. A women and trans separatistic organisation working for equality in the Contemporary Music scene in Sweden.

Marta will present new material crafted during her residency at the Studio for Electroacoustic Music at Akademie der Künste in Berlin. Throughout her residency, she delved into the unique East German instruments Subharchord and audiotronic AMS3 & ASL5, alongside the timeless Yamaha DX7 synthesiser. From this exploration emerged a diverse collection of compositions, blending synthesizer melodies with vocals provided by countertenor Rupert Enticknap, performer Ella Olivia Bender, and poet Agnes Schneidewind. Additionally, Marta explored the vocaloid's distinctive voice qualities, whose duet with the human voices creates a sonic landscape that is at once intimate and otherworldly.

Marta Forsberg is presented as part of Elektronmusikstudion 60 years jubilee showcase.
