Biography

Emma is an international performer, improviser, composer, and artist, 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 violin and viola, 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. Ensembles include KUBOV, a violin/electronic duo with Jess Aslan, a duo with pianist Karin Schistek, violin/viola duo Deux Mèches with Rachel Koblyakov, and a violin/viola/cello/electronics duo with Justyna Jablonska. She resides between Scotland and France, and runs the concert series Sonic Warehouse, promoting live experimental music in Edinburgh and Paris.
