One of Jessica Ekomane’s works imagines what a church bell might sound like inside a baby’s mouth; another explores our perception of rhythm through a spatial field with quadrophonic sound. The later example was from a performance at the We Make Waves festival a couple of weeks ago in Berlin, an event that was fully immersive and potentially disorienting. I caught up with Ekomane one evening during the rainy autumn of a year that has seen her perform in Japan, Australia, and Europe, to talk about her shift from sound artist to performer, the accessibility of the electronic and classical worlds, and cold calling Pierre Boulez.
