Mia Zabelka – violin, voice, electronics
 

With my concept of "Multiversal Music," I explore music as a space of possibilities that extends far beyond traditional notions of melody, form and linear time. I am fascinated by the question of how art can open perceptual spaces that are difficult to grasp through language or scientific description alone.

Inspired by concepts of higher dimensions, complexity research, and developments in music, mathematics and physics, I conceive of music not as a sequence of isolated events, but as an interwoven network of simultaneously unfolding processes.

The violin, with its extraordinary sonic flexibility, enables me to make microtonal intervals, noises, overtones and the subtlest sonic transitions audible. At the heart of my work lies the interplay of acoustic and electric violin, voice, live electronics, sound objects and computer-generated sounds, all merging into a shared multidimensional sonic language.

The violin is continuously transformed into resonant spaces, fields of noise, overtone structures and electronic textures. Acoustic and digital sound sources fuse into complex sonic ecosystems that evolve in real time and open up new modes of musical perception.

The result is the creation of sonic landscapes in which different temporal layers, perspectives and structural dimensions can be experienced simultaneously, guiding perception beyond conventional musical categories.
