Artist

Mia Zabelka, James Plotkin & Benjamin Finger

(Karl – AUT/UK)

The trio creates a freeform sound that invokes the spirit of both concrete and electronic music, while incorporating both traditional and unorthodox instrumentation. Benjamin Finger‘s heavily processed signature collages of sound are embellished by the organic and often similarly processed strings of Zabelka and Plotkin, resulting in a world of audio that buzzes and drones, glitches and slithers, careening into unstable musical territories.
