Mads Kinnerup @ EMS 6-20 December, 2024
Mads Kinnerup is a Danish artist, musician and music producer. With a background in electronic experimental music and IDM,
he is interested in pushing the boundaries of how music can be performed and produced in new and original ways.
Kinnerup's music is performed live using modular synthesizer systems and self-developed software systems, creating music that is minimal, simple and repetitive in terms of melody, yet complex in timbre.
His self-released debut album Parademons from 2019 features Warp-ish style ambient universes and vintage drum machine sounds. His second album Heart 1993 from 2022 released on
the Danish label Janushoved is an atmospherical instrumental release playing with memories of childhood sounds, mangled
and deconstructed. On his third album Interpolation from December 2022, Kinnerup presents new rhythm based IDM music. The seventh track of the record, Stream, is co-written
with electronic star Caterina Barbieri.
As a music producer Kinnerup has worked with influential
names on the Danish independent and electronic scene
such as Spleen United, Greta and We Are The Way For
The Cosmos To Know Itself.

Evelin Lindberg @ EMS 5-20 december, 2024
Evelin Lindberg is a sound and media artist based in Oslo. With a keen interest in the intersections of digital cultures and art, Lindberg explores technology as a lens shaping our perceived reality through multi-channel sound and video, websites and apps, performances, installations, happenings and other extended and work-specific formats.
A central aim in Lindberg’s work is to unveil processes that are typically hidden or implicit and render them in a tangible way. Works such as Scribbles (2018) and conveyor#1 (2024) revolve around the process of authoring, producing and interpreting a (musical) work, while works such as No Title (No Filter) I-IIB, ALIASING and M-105 challenge the interfaces between audience, composer and performer through production, deconstruction and remodelling of acoustic and digital instruments and distribution formats.
Evelin has a bachelor’s degree from the Norwegian Academy of Music and Staatliche Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Stuttgart. Their works have been programmed at festivals and events such as Ultima, Darmstädter Ferienkurse, BROWSER SOUND and IRCAM forum.
As part of their EMS residency, Evelin will produce sound for an upcoming instalment of the ALIASING project, exploring questions about the formation of identity through the continuity of memory, and aberrations in this experienced continuity as a direct analogue to the distinct glitches emerging from discrete representation of continuous media.

Maryse Legault @ EMS 3-15 December, 2024
Maryse Legault received her master’s degree in historical clarinet performance at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Den Haag in 2017, as part of the studio of Eric Hoeprich. Currently a PhD candidate in musicology at McGill University, Legault's research focuses on the interaction between performance and philosophy in the 19th century.
The first graduate from Quebec in the field of historical clarinets, Legault specializes in the virtuoso phenomenon of the turn of the 19th century. She has presented her research as a guest lecturer at the British Columbia University, at Oxford University in the United Kingdom, at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris in France, at Divino Sospiro’ Centro de estudos in Portugal and at the Hochschule
der Künste Bern in Switzerland.
Legault performs regularly with numerous ensembles, including Teatro Nuovo, Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra, Arion Orchestre Baroque, Pacific Baroque Orchestra, and has joined European ensembles such as Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, Les
Siècles and MusicAeterna.
Legault was awarded the Joseph-Armand-Bombardier research fellowship from the SSHRC and was the recipient of a prize from the Sylva-Gelber Music Foundation. In June 2023, her critically acclaimed debut solo album, Around Baermann, was released on Leaf Music.
Composing since 2020 for electronic instruments, Legault premiered her first piece for clarinet, live signal processing and still media, A Hundred Waves, based on the sound world of synthesizer pioneer Suzanne Ciani, at live@CIRMMT in December 2022. She is also collaborating with composer, sound and video artist Pierre-Luc Lecours to create a series of progressive studies for the modular synthesizer.
