Lecturer | Sound Studies and Sonic Arts (M.A.)

Jessica Ekomane is a computer musician and sound artist. She was one of the six composers chosen as collaborators by Natascha Süder Happelman for her installation at the German pavilion of the Venice Biennale 2019. She released her debut album, Multivocal, on Important Records in 2019. Her work has been presented in various institutions worldwide such as CTM festival (Berlin), Ars Electronica (Linz), Dommune (Tokyo) or Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts (Omaha).

Her quadraphonic performances, characterized by their physical affect, seek a cathartic effect through the interplay of psychoacoustics, the perception of rhythmic structures and the interchange of noise and melody. Her work is grounded in questions such as the relationship between individual perception and collective dynamics or the investigation of listening expectations and their societal roots.
