Porting Self is new chamber music extending traditional instruments through electroacoustic composition and realtime sonic alterations. It's the first in a series of two concerts with the Sound Quartet ensemble and Emma Lloyd on violin and electronics, Emilie Girard-Charest on cello with Thomas Bjelkeborn and Koray Tahiroglu on computer and electronics. The ensemble will perform new works as quartet, trio and solo such as the praised composition Purfling by Swedish composer Malin Bång, also including the expressive audiovisual performance KET conversation exploring the oldest spoken language on earth in a mindblowing version for electronic sounds and live visuals.

Emma Lloyd is a violinist specialising in the performance of experimental contemporary music and improvisation. She performs as a soloist and in small ensembles, working often with live electronics, and collaborating regularly with composers. In addition to the modern set-up, she plays a baroque violin and performs both baroque and contemporary music written specifically for this instrument.
As an improviser, Emma's performance tends to be quiet and intimate in nature, exploring the innate timbral qualities of the violin, and discovering some of the often hidden sounds that can be found with her unique combination of technique and tools. http://emmajanelloyd.com/
