Artist Bio:

Susanne Kirchmayr aka Electric Indigo, born 1965 in Vienna, Austria, works as musician, composer and DJ. She has performed in about 39 countries across Europe, Asia, and the Americas and her name stands for an intelligent and distinguished interpretation of techno and electronic music. Electric Indigo creates music for concert spaces, clubs, occasionally for stage plays, sound installations and short films. In her compositions and live performances, she emphasizes the spatial placement and precise structures of subtly elaborated sounds, often generated with granular synthesis. Electric Indigo shuttles between Vienna and Berlin.

Electric Indigo started her DJ career in Vienna 1989 and lived in Berlin for three years [1993-1996] to work at the legendary Hard Wax record store. In those years, she began to produce music, first releases came out in 1993. In 1998, she founded female:pressure, a network and database for female, trans and non-binary artists in electronic music and digital arts that was awarded with an Honorary Mention at Prix Ars Electronica 2009. Amongst other prizes, she received the "outstanding artist award" in the computer music category in 2012 and the national grant for composition 2013 from the Austrian Federal Ministry for Education, Arts and Culture. She often holds workshops about granular synthesis and is frequently invited to talk about gender and diversity issues. Electric Indigo curates the “Atelier Elektronik” workshop series at the Darmstadt Summer Course for New Music 2018.

Important works in recent years include multichannel compositions like "Chiffres" [2012], “109.47 degrees" [2014], "MORPHEME" [2014/2015], "Barry Duffman" [2015] and “Tolkowsky’s Refraction” [2017].
