ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
The programme presents the violin as an instrument of investigation, opening up new perspectives on sound. Extended techniques, distorted sound, elements of noise and chance, and live electronics become equal creative components and active partners in a dialogue between the violin and technology.
The violin takes on a personified role - an attentive observer and investigator that, through its sensitive relationship with electronics, reflects the anxiety, contradictions, existential fragility, and fragmentation of our time. The programme critically engages with contemporary cultural and social reality while searching for hopeful forms of resilience.

About performer
ABOUT EMMA JANE LLOYD
Emma Jane Lloyd is an international performer, improviser, composer, and artist. She performs as a soloist and in small ensembles, frequently working with live electronics and collaborating with composers.
Her music combines strings, vocals, electronics, and objects, embracing indeterminacy, instrumental agency, and unexpected sonic outcomes. As an improviser, Lloyd often works with quiet and intimate sound, exploring the innate timbral qualities of the violin and uncovering sounds that often remain hidden within the instrument. Her debut solo album, “Mue”, was released in 2025.
