Irradiation is a sound artist, composer, DJ and club host as well as the co-initiator and manager of the Viennese label TEMP~, founded in 2003. Irradiation’s musical work is best described as a permanent exploration of the space between repetitive and abstract electronic music. Her pieces moved towards experimental sound art over the last years, yet without losing the dance floor from sight. She joins the loose ends between electronic dance music and acousmatic improvisation. Besides her solo project, she enjoys working with other musicians, composers and visual artists. From the beginning, the Irradiation set-up was conceived as an audio-visual interlacing, with artists Stefan Kushima, Jade, c++, mes or Thomas Wagensommerer providing the visuals. Her musical collaborations include Electric Indigo, Didi Bruckmayr (Wipeout, Fuckhead), Rapper / Spoken Word Artist Mieze Medusa and many others. Currently she is engaged with Chra as “Pasajera Oscura” and with Martina Claussen as “Hidden Shards”. Irradiation also creates immersive sound art. Her interactive installation “Decoherence 1.0”, a collaboration with physicists Gabriela Barreto Lemos and Mehul Malik, is an invitation to reflect on the nature of quantum reality.
