Freida Abtan

Deemed an "audiovisual sorceress," Freida Abtan is a Canadian multi-disciplinary artist and musician inspired by sensory immersion. Her music ranges from acousmatic composition to more industrial and pop-influenced experimental anthems. Both as a solo artist, and as a floating member of the renowned experimental music group Nurse with Wound, she has toured her music and visuals internationally. Her compositions, performances and installations have been featured at Mutek (CA), the Elektra Festival (CA), the Spark Festival of Electronic Music (USA), and the Cap Sembrat Festival (ES), amongst many others. She is an Associate Professor of Electronic Music Composition at Carnegie Mellon University.
