Hanna Hartman is a Swedish sound artist and composer who has gained international acclaim for her distinctive approach to sound and composition. Born in Uppsala, Sweden, Hartman studied Literature and Theater History at the Universities of Uppsala and Stockholm, then Electroacoustic Music at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm and at EMS (Electroacoustic Music in Sweden), where she fostered her unique voice in the contemporary music scene. Coming from a background that integrates a fascination with literature and the dramatic arts, her work often reflects a nuanced blend of acoustic storytelling using recorded sounds she captures from various environments.

Noted for her sensitive and precise treatment of sound materials and acoustic spaces, Hartman crafts her compositions by exploring the inherent sonic qualities of objects and environments, turning the familiar into the surreal and engaging. Her works, such as "H^2", "Ailanthus", "Longitude / Cratere", and "Fäjesånger Cikoria Die Schrauben...", showcase her talent for transforming everyday sounds into richly textured soundscapes that are both evocative and abstract. Through her releases, Hartman invites listeners to reimagine the auditory components of our world, piecing together narratives from fragments of sound. Award-winning and widely recognized in the field of electroacoustic music, Hanna Hartman pushes the boundaries of how we perceive and interpret the sounds around us.
