M M M is a composer and audiovisual artist born 1987 in Finland, currently based in Stockholm. She holds an MFA from Malmö Art Academy and a BA in electroacoustic composition from The Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm. M M M's artistic expression, which has always been interdisciplinary, primarily consists of musical pieces, paintings and sculptures. Accents of video, light, fashion, performance and text coexist in between. Also, collaborations.

The multi-medial works are separate but often build entities together. Her visual language turns towards a kind of thorn minimalism with referential traces in signs, fragments and materiality, carrying ambiguous layers of meaning. Also recurring are movements between artificial – natural, and hard – fragile, which are some of the most tangible aspects within her musical pieces too, where dark, machine-sounding synths and industrial soundscapes meet archaic voices and vibrant instrumental timbres. She often explores fields where electronic and acoustic sounds intermix, though purely acoustic works with a cappella or organ etc. appear too.

Granulation, extended techniques, own tunings and the voice as an instrument are other central traits in her music. M M M’s pieces, though multilayered and poetic, are often marked with conceptual influences like anthropocenic imprints, existential phenomena and accents of systems theory in contexts like extended ecology and transcorporeality. She is interested in how ideas spread and materialize; how (un)conscious mechanisms within the self and the outside world interact and crystallize in various (im)material forms.

Roya Naini is an electroacoustic composer and electronic artist based in Sweden. She has a background in diverse acoustic instruments, most recently pipe organ and Persian santur, which frequently make appearances throughout her works alongside modular synthesis using Buchla. Together these timbral juxtapositions form the basis for her electroacoustic compositions using counterpoint and spectral techniques.

Roya holds a special affinity for stark dynamics and contrasts, influenced heavily by visual arts where light and shadow play important roles, and her music often carries a dramatic intensity exploring lurid psychological themes and heightened emotional states. As an electronic artist, Roya has produced and released five albums and performed live in Sweden and North America.

At Norbergfestival they will play together as part of the KMH Showcase, blending their sound worlds of voices, pedals, and acoustic and electronic instruments.
