bio
Martina Bertoni is a Berlin-based composer, experimental cellist and educator, whose work “dissolves the boundaries between emotion and architecture” (A Closer Listen), crafting soundscapes where control and resonance become fluid entities. Her practice interrogates sound’s capacity to reshape perception through electroacoustic composition, generative systems, drone minimalism, and destabilised tunings, often employing timelessness as a compositional framework.
Her research lies at the intersection of embodied sound practices and post-instrumental identities, an exploration central to her most recent album Electroacoustic Works for Halldorophone (Karlrecords, 2025). This work expands a discography that lists All The Ghosts Are Gone (Falk, 2019), Music for Empty Flats (Karlrecords, 2021), Hypnagogia (2023), a study in “haunted minimalism” (Boomkat).
Beyond her artistic practice, Martina’s cello and original works have been featured in numerous soundtracks for films, series, and documentaries. She is currently a Lecturer at the Department of Music at Catalyst Institute for Creative Arts and Technology in Berlin.
