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 material 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. In addition to various collaborations with musicians, writers, video and visual artists she is also a lecturer at the IEM (Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics) at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Graz.
