Stockholm-based composer Maria W Horn is fascinated by the manipulation of time and space through sonic extremes.Using digital and analogue synthesis as well as acoustic instruments and audiovisual components, she creates vast, haunting soundscapes thatoscillate between minimalist structures and piercing power electronics. Originally from rural Ångermanland in the north of Sweden, Horn’s latest album her latest album, ‘Kontrapoetik’ sees her delve into the deceivingly serene and turmoiled past of her home region. Through a bewildering patchwork of field recordings, radio broadcasts, church organ and Buchla synthesiser, she defiantly explores the hidden dualism – natural splendour and savage laws – of the conservative, patriarchal society of her youth.
