Composer and field recordist Ellen Jacobs (BE) uses ambient sound in her practice by zooming in on it and recontextualizing it. She explores the boundary between electronic and acoustic music, using both to shape her sonic world.

She is currently delving into the often-overlooked sounds that surround us—those that are barely perceivable or entirely inaudible at first encounter. By exploring and incorporating underwater and subterranean soundscapes, she seeks to deepen the connection between humans and their environment, inspiring curiosity about the multiple layers of this world around us.

To get to know more about her work, go to her componistenfiche, written by Benjamin Windelinckx (in Dutch).
