Mariam Gviniashvili works as a sound artist and composer - combining electronics, electroacoustics and 3D sound technology with visuals, dance and live performance to penetrate deep into the physical and emotional essence of sound and space.

Music has followed Gviniashvili through her life since early childhood. Growing up in eastern Georgia, she sang and played piano, and gradually found her feet as a creative composer and visual artist while studying composition at the Norwegian Academy of Music.

That explains her diverse and unexpected subject matter - distractions during online meetings, as in her piece DAYDREAMING (2022), the strange cosmic ballet of the audiovisual REVELATION (2021) or the stereo/ambisonic DECONSTRUCTION (2020, honourable mention at Prix Ars Electronica) reflecting on a virus spreading patterns.

Festivals, major venues and radio programmes have presented Gviniashvili's music, including the New York Electroacoustic Music Festival (USA), BEAST FEaST (UK), Transitions at CCRMA (USA), MA/IN (Italy), ICMC (Korea), Mixtur Festival (Spain), ARD Radio Play Days at ZKM (Germany), BBC Radio (UK), Ars Electronica (Austria), Klingt Gut (Germany), In Situ Festival (Denmark), Heroines of Sound (Germany) and Ultima Festival (Norway).

The music website Boomkat described a live performance in which she 'conducts anxious clouds of feedback and cybernetic sound design into febrile textures that sound as if they're teeming with life... it's surreal and lively, pointing towards new horizons.'
