    MV Carbon

    Profile

    MV Carbon is a multidisciplinary artist whose work integrates music, performance, sculpture, and multimedia art. With a foundation in sound and production she applies recording techniques to expand the sonic landscape. Her work examines the intersections of sonic feedback, sound spatialization, and sound morphology, with a focus on the transformative relationship between sound, space, and place.

    Carbon investigates the potential of sound to shape sensory experience and influence spatial awareness. She creates immersive soundscapes using sculptural objects, voice, instrumentation, magnetic tape, and electronics. Her compositions engage with ideas of agency and resonance through a synthesis of poetry, music, and mechanical systems.
