About Caroline Profanter

Caroline Profanter, born 1985 in Bozen (I) is a composer and performer. Her work oscillates between acousmatic composition and live-performed electroacoustic music, with a focus on imaginary soundscapes and sonic narratives. She is interested in sounds and noises taken from the context of everyday life, transformed digitally and used as pure material. Therefore she collects field recordings and combines them with instrumental sounds or electronically generated sounds, with analog synthesizers and feedback-systems. She works with multiple speaker settings, using given spaces and surfaces as resonators, and produces work for Acousmonium and live spatialization. She collaborates regularly with artists of other fields, at the crossroad to literature, video and radio art. She studied Computer Music and Electronic Media at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna and holds a Master’s degree in Acousmatic Composition at the Conservatoire Royal de Mons in Belgium.

Lives and works in Brussels and is part of the artistic Team of Q-O2 workspace for experimental music and sound art, Brussels
