TWO SOLOS - ONE DUO

The duo creates a freeform sound that invokes the spirit of both concrete and electronic music, while incorporating both traditional and unorthodox instrumentation. Lars Akerlund‘s heavily processed signature collages of sound interacts wit0 the organic and often similarly processed strings of Mia Zabelka, resulting in a world of audio that buzzes and drones, glitches and slithers, careening into unstable, mesmerizing musical territories.

About Mia Zabelka:
"'Live in concert MIA ZABELKA is an electrifying performer, as a result of which she has become the focus of intense audience interest.' John Eyles/ All about Jazz (UK)

MIA ZABELKA is a sound artist, composer as well as an experimental violinist and vocalist from Vienna, with czech, jewish and french familiar background. Comprehensively educated in classical music from early age on, she continued to construct and explore the limits of sound and music in a language entirely her own, based on the de- and reconstruction of the violin’s sonic possibilities, expanding the range of the instrument using live electronic devices, preparing it through the insertion of alien objects between or on the strings and innovative performance techniques.

Since her first release SOMATEME on Berlin’s Edition RZ, MIA ZABELKA has continuously explored sound and music as physical phenomena, always pushing back the boundaries in experimental performances and compositions that question established notions, improving the available techniques and given structures. The violin and her own voice and body are transformed in the process into sound bodies which are at once organic and primal, screaming, lyrical, composed and explosive.

She has collaborated with a string of exciting artists from around the world, such as Robin Rimbaud, Pauline Oliveros, Electric Indigo, Dälek, Lydia Lunch, Elliott Sharp, Phill Niblock, John Zorn, John Russell, Maggie Nicols and Philippe Petit.

She has given concerts and performances at many Festivals throughout Europe, America and Asia. Numerous CD, vinyl and video releases. Recipient of highly regarded prizes (3-time winner of the Prix Ars Electronica) and awards, she was a guest of the DAAD’s (German Academic Exchange Service’s) international artists’ programme in Berlin and the Fulbright Commission in New York.

Recently MIA ZABELKA was awarded THE AKADEMIA Music Award 2018 in the category “experimental music” for her composition “FOR PAULINE OLIVEROS”, the Outstanding Tour support by Music Export Austria 2016 and the Outstanding Artist award by the BKA Federal Chancelley of Austria 2015 in the category “sound art in the public space”.

In 2017, the Solo album ‘Cellular Resonance’ was released on the British label LCR, which received numerous enthusiastic reviews.

MIA ZABELKA is currently the artistic director of Phonofemme Festival Vienna and Klanghaus Untergreith in the region of South Styria."
