Marie Vermont has been creating music both collaboratively and independently since the late 2000s, currently with projects like:


IEOGM w/the concept horse
BILLA ENSEMBLE (AT/RO/UK/US),
LOWER LOWER AUSTRIA w/Michiu 1, Michiu 2, Raisa, the concept horse
BATTERIESTAND NIEDRIG w/Nadeshda, the concept horse
MICRO MATA
and others

Fragmentary field recordings and drawn translations of movement sequences for further examinations, as well as finished works (scores, recordings, settings and installations) emerge from stays and recordings in public, undesigned non-places. These artifacts from the outside world find their place alongside soundscapes created from various wired boxes combined with percussive elements, mics, tapes and other acoustic instruments in the broadest sense. Depending on the format, these simultaneities can be heard, seen, read and/or played - aspects such as wind and weather too. Duplication and reproduction mostly in the form of cassettes, with and without guest performers.

Flowing electronics, expressive piano, and organ clips from Marie Vermont, perfectly displaying her key elements of a playfulness with an edge of haunting.

"My idea was to incorporate the 6 soundbikes into my setup by playing more delicate and high frequency sounds on them - I split these up individually. I thought of this metaphorically in a way, like birds in the sky moving around in a swarm while making noises. The specific architechtural possibilities of the spiral bridge and the soundbikes moving up and down, constantly shifting elevation in a way that is almost never possible in an indoor space, the movement, the open air and the dimensions gave the sounds a very special character. I like to work and interact with outdoor environments in many of my projects by playing and recording outside with a certain setup of microphones, but also by listening and transcribing simultaneous sound movements to later translate them into electronic and electroacoustic sounds in a studio."

IEOGM is the duo project of Marie Vermont and the concept horse, founded in Vienna in 2022. Working with a shifting range of electronic, electro-acoustic and tape-based objects and devices, IEOGM has released numerous albums and collaborative compositions on labels such as Molt Fluid, Beach Buddies Records, Steep Gloss, eë editions, Hard Return and Breton Cassette - and has performed live in Austria, Japan and the USA. Both members have active solo projects and are part of the improvisational quartet BILLA ENSEMBLE.
