Composer Conversations with Daniel Vezza

Malin is a Swedish composer who currently resides in Berlin as part of the 2012 Berliner Künstlerprogramm.

She is also the composer and co-artistic director of the Curious Chamber Players, a Swedish based New Music Ensemble. You can listen to more of her music at www.malinbang.com.

In our conversation we talk about the influence the Berlin improvisation scene has had on her music, her focus on energy and noise as musical parameters, and her use of found objects as musical instruments. The piece played in this podcast is called Turbid Motion and was performed by the Curious Chamber players and dB productions.
