Erik Nyström

Erik Nyström is a UK-based Swedish composer and performer who operates in the areas of electroacoustic and computer music.

His output comprises both improvised algorithmic music and acousmatic works and investigates posthuman conceptions of sound, spatial sound synthesis, texture, and visual and physical listening experiences. In his live performances, intelligent algorithms and cybernetic systems diffuse human agency into a synthetic ecology of sound. For NEXT festival 2020, Nyström has developed an immersive multichannel live performance where unconventional synthetic sonorities probe real and artificial space in a meeting between improvised performance and generative systems.
