Marja Ahti is a Swedish-Finnish experimental sound artist and composer, whose work engages deeply with the intricacies of field recordings and electronic textures. Over the years, Ahti has garnered acclaim for her ability to manipulate organic sounds and fuse them with synthetic elements to create soundscapes that blur the line between the familiar and the abstract. Born in Sweden, Ahti is now based in Turku, Finland, where she continues to refine her approach to composition, amplifying the minutiae of sonic details to an evocative scale.

With a catalog that showcases her keen ear for detail and her talent for crafting compelling auditory experiences, Marja Ahti has steadily released a series of well-received albums that underscore her position as a formidable figure in the electronic and electroacoustic scenes. Her album "The Current Inside" (2020) further explores her fascination with the fluidity of sound and its spatial qualities, unraveling new textures and timbral narratives. Preceded by "Vegetal Negatives" (2019), which draws inspiration from the concept of 'negative space' within the vegetal world, Ahti continues to challenge and expand the listener's perception of sound. Her other notable works, "Still Lives" and "Entering A Cloud," along with her more recent piece "A coincidence is perfect, intimate attunement," illustrate her skill in translating the intricate dynamics of natural and synthesized sounds into absorbing auditory journeys that resonate with a sense of immersive depth and meditative complexity.
