Marja Ahti (b. 1981, Luleå) is a Swedish-Finnish sound artist working in composition, installation and cross-disciplinary performance. Working with field recordings, sounds of everyday objects and materials, analog synthesis, digital processing and acoustic instrumentation she creates precise musical narratives with organically unfolding sequences of details and textures. Her patiently evolving electro-acoustic constructions suggest a poetic realm between the acousmatic and the documentaristic, between abstraction and the deeply familiar.
Ahti is currently based in Turku, Finland. She is active in the duo Ahti & Ahti with her partner Niko-Matti Ahti, in the artist/organizer collective Himera and in collaborative projects with Judith Hamann, John McCowen, Manja Ristić and Mikko Kuorinki.
