Monika Mattiesen is focused on electroacoustic sound experiments as a composer and interpreting contemporary music as a flutist. From her solo concerts, the ensemble Cyberstudio (Küberstuudio) has grown out (2000), where the main aim of the flutist is to synthesize electronic music with other art fields (light, video, painting, dance, literature, film). In Paris, Mattiesen has prepared works by Saariaho, Manoury, Fedele, Jodlowski and other composers while residing in IRCAM. In 2004, Monika Mattiesen performed Philippe Manoury’s electroacoustic magnum opus “Jupiter” at IRCAM / Acanthes Master course, assisted by the composer. Monika Mattiesen has recorded and premiered many new works for flute that have been written specially for her. She is the artistic director of international new music festival “Afekt” held in Tartu and Tallinn.
