Coming from a background of classical vocal performance 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. She studied computer music and electronic media at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna, Voice at the Music and Arts University of the City of Vienna and Composition at the Bruckner University in Linz. In 2020 she received the Publicity Award of SKE/Austro Mechana. She works at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna where, since 2009, she holds the position of Associate Professor of Voice.
