Jessica Ekomane (FR/DE) is a French-born and Berlin-based electronic musician and sound artist. She creates situations where the sound acts as a transformative element for the space and the audience. Her quadraphonic performances, characterized by their physical affect, seek a cathartic effect through the interplay of psychoacoustics, the perception of rhythmic structures and the interchange of noise and melody. Her ever-changing and immersive sonic landscapes are grounded in questions such as the relationship between individual perception and collective dynamics or the investigation of listening expectations and their societal roots.
Her first LP "Multivocal" was released in 2019 via Important Records, stemming from a project for a sleeping event at Ars Electronica, curated by Shu-Lea Chang and Matthew Füller. Since then, her work has been extensively presented in festivals, venues, contemporary art spaces and museums across the world, such as Radio France, CTM festival, Berghain, Cafe OTO, Hamburger Bahnhof, Reina Sofia, Art Basel, KW, Villa Massimo and others. Her piece "Manifolds" was released in 2024 as a split LP with Laurel Halo on Portraits GRM / Shelter Press. Ekomane was one of the fellows in residence for the Villa Romana Prize 2023 in Florence and received one of the two ZKM Giga-Hertz production prizes that same year.
