2012 “Tangency” at Salon Saloon
Tangency
“Tangency” was the title of the soundpiece that Veronika performed together with Christine Schörkhuber performed in our living room for our series of intimate performances called Salon Saloon.

About the Artist
Veronika Mayer is a freelance composer, musician and sound artist living in Vienna. Her works include instrumental and electroacoustic compositions, sound installations and performances with live electronics. She is active as electronic improviser, performing solo and in different collaborations,as well with visual artists. Pure sounds, natural given phenomena and material are the basis for her work, always emphasizing hardly perceptible elements, giving it a reduced but essential form and very clear structures, following the characteristics and inner behaviour of the sound itself.In her electronic performancesand instrumental works she explores the continuous evolvement and expansion of single grains of sound. Focusing on the striking results of very smooth and minimal changes in sound modulation, she is observing the slightest differences and variations during these processes of manipulation.
