IEVA VAITI
sound, art, technology
Ieva Vaiti is a computational sound artist originally from Kaunas, Lithuania, having moved to and settled in London, UK at a young age.
Ieva is currently a lecturer in Electronic Music at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, and has had works shown or performed at spaces such as the The Science Gallery, Barbican Centre, Messums Gallery, The Place and The Roundhouse. She’s been a resident artist with organisations such as Brighter Sound, Manchester, LMTA, Vilnius, Roundhouse, London and released music under the labels Modularfield and Seagrave. As a composer and sound designer Ieva has worked with clients such as Sky, BBC, Disney and FVU.
Her artistic practice centers around themes of identity and place. She uses sound and visual mediums embedded within installations or performance to explore algorithmic approaches, especially systems susceptible to breakdown or disruption. She’s particularly interested in linear and non-linear time forms, and how people and randomness can intertwine within those systems, leading to the creation of alternate realities. Ieva often employs technology as a tool to expose certain aspects of research and to help communicate complex ideas in accessible pathways to the public.
Ieva has previously collaborated with professionals from various disciplines - including film makers, theatre companies and scientists in order to realise a collective vision. Her compositions and installations often utilise techniques like world-building, layering, and manipulating auditory elements to create narrative. She is constantly exploring new ways to engage listeners and expand the boundaries of how sound is experienced.
