Ernst Lima (*Aquarius), is a transmedia artist, composer and sound designer based in Vienna, Austria. In liminal and often mantric installations Ernst Lima expands the boundaries between cross-worldly and inter-medial existence. Through the use of of multi-instrumental sounds, exploring the transition of bodies and their physical and mental reactions to technological self-extension, Ernst Lima’s presentations create symbiotic relationships between physical and virtual corporeality expanding genres of sound, installation, live concerts and visual works, which highlights the physical reactionary component in their work.

Fluid but always deeply set, Ernst Limas music eschews single genres and identities, as it wades through influences spanning experimental electronic, electro-acoustics, film scoring, combined with the types of raw guitar loops from which her songwriting process often originates.

For this sonic evening, Ernst Lima presents a musical set that weaves together voice and layered guitar loops, creating a mantric experience that invites a collective, intentional pause amid the relentless pace of our contemporary world. Inspired by the ever-shifting conditions of Iceland’s weather and landscape, the performance reflects the equally changeable nature of our inner lives. The music flows in a state of flux between clarity and confusion, stillness and unrest - mirroring the emotional landscapes we continuously navigate.
