Veronika Mayer is a composer, sound artist and musician, active both in experimental electronic and instrumental music. She creates instrumental and electroacoustic compositions as well as sound installations and is performing with the laptop in the context of free improvisation.
She explores the effects of most subtle nuances of sound modulation and the interaction of sound materia and space. Natural given phenomena and sounds are the basis of her work, always emphasizing hardly perceptible elements. Focused auditive perception and the creative process by itself are characteristic for her works. This results in reduced forms which are clearly defined by inherent sound structures, following the inner behaviour and characteristic of each sound.
Various collaborations with musicians, writers, video and visual artists.
Lecturer at the IEM (Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics, University of Music and Performing Arts Graz).
