Presentation of works by Tetiana Khoroshun (Ij, 2025), Karmen Ponikvar (Murni, 2024) and Brane Zorman (SUS, 2025).
We are heading to one of the most important festivals of contemporary art, science and technology – Ars Electronica in Linz. Within the Listening Room, works by three of our artists will be presented, each offering a distinctive perspective on contemporary sound art: Tetiana Khoroshun (Ij, 2025), Karmen Ponikvar (Murni, 2024) and Brane Zorman (SUS, 2025).
Alongside their contributions, the Listening Room will also feature works by numerous international authors, including: Lars Bröndum, Te-En Chen, Ricardo Dal Farra, Enrico Dorigatti, Renato Fiorito, Jānis Garančs, Thomas Gorbach, Patrick Hartono, Lenz Heinrich, Panayiotis Kokoras, Anton Iakhontov, Robert B. Lisek, Ágnes Máthé, João Pedro Oliveira, Kasey Pocius, Gianluca Pompilio, Leah Reid, Ana Maria Rodriguez, Marcin Rupocinski, Dimitris Savva, Markus Sepperer, Tim Shatnyy, Ryne Siesky, Riccardo Tesorini, Amir Teymuri and Todor Todoroff.

Tetiana Khoroshun is a Ukrainian composer, sound designer, performer, and educator specialising in electronic, electroacoustic, contemporary, and experimental music. She creates sound performances, installations, and music for cinema, theatre, dance, video games, chamber, and orchestral settings. As a co-author and performer in the electroacoustic duo Guma and the “First_Tape” group, she also serves as a composer and sound designer at Daraba Studio. Additionally, she manages the Sed Contra Ensemble and is a member of the Ukrainian Association of Electroacoustic Music.

Karmen Ponikvar is a distinguished Slovene sound artist, performer, and researcher specialising in electronic and electroacoustic music. She is presently pursuing her studies in sound at the Institute of Sonology in The Hague, Netherlands. By attuning her ears to microtonal sonic structures, spatial imaginaries, and speculative philosophies of perception, she investigates the complex interconnections between sound, space, and place.

Brane Zorman is an intermedia artist, composer, sound manipulator, producer, and curator. He composes sound works for theatre, intermedia, and dance performances. He performs electro-acoustic solo pieces and improvisations with local and foreign artists in surround sound. Working with sound and space, Zorman develops various strategies, techniques, dynamic, and interactive modules, records, and reinterprets soundscapes, and by way of sophisticated tools, he creates electronic and acoustic sound sculptures.
