EMILIE ŠKRIJELJ explores the accordion in its smallest folds and uses it both as a percussion instrument and a generator of electroacoustic materials. Inspired by her research around the turntable, modular synths and field recording, she brings the accordion to the abstract territory of electronics by manipulating the bellows, rubbing its contours and exploring its extremities. In 2020 she created the label eux sæm with Tom Malmendier, which is dedicated to improvised and experimental music and which brings together some of her current projects such as the duo ‘Les Marquises’ and collaborations with Mike Ladd or Otomo Yoshihide. Emilie’s sound-art projects include ‘Presque île’, a series of small sound forms in situ created for the landscape, and the performative sound installation ‘Bruine’ with Michael Thieke and Tom Malmendier.
