Marja Ahti
(born 1981) is a Swedish-Finnish composer and sound artist from Turku, Finland. Ahti works with field recordings and other acoustic sound materials combined with synthesizers and electronic feedback to find the space where these sounds begin to communicate. She creates music that rides waves of slowly morphing harmonies and mutating textures—raw, edgy, yet precise and richly detailed compositions. Ahti has presented her music in various contexts across Europe, Japan, and the United States. She is currently active with her partner Niko-Matti Ahti in the duo Ahti & Ahti and in the artist/organizer collective Himera.
