Susanne Kirchmayr aka Electric Indigo, DJ, composer, musician, has performed in 45 countries across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. She represents an intelligent and distinguished interpretation of techno and electronic music. In 1998 she founded the transnational female:pressure network for which she received an Honorary Mention at Prix Ars Electronic in 2009. As a composer the Republic of Austria awarded her with the Kunstpreis Musik in 2020.
Kirchmayr creates music for concert spaces and clubs, and occasionally for stage plays and short films. In her compositions and live performances, she emphasizes the spatial placement and precise structures of subtly elaborated sounds, often generated with granular synthesis. She premiered her works at festivals like Wien Modern, Musikprotokoll, CTM or Heroines of Sound and composed for Klangforum Wien. Other than numerous single releases since 1993, her debut album “5 1 1 5 9 3” came out on Imbalance Computer Music in 2018, followed by "Ferrum" on Editions Mego in 2020.
