about
"Irmert always manages to reconcile the principle boundaries of sound art, advanced electronic composition and installation art with the popular of ambient, electronica and post-rock, without the conceptual rigour, headiness or, on the other hand, the accessibility of her pieces having to suffer. It's a rare talent."

Jana Irmert is a sound artist and composer who works across spatial composition, film soundtracks and live performance, often exploring the borderline between musical sound and noise through extensive experimentation with field recordings. Examining temporality and impermanence in times of ecological crisis, she creates atmospheric audiovisual and sonic spaces ‘that work with dis/harmony in such a way as to mirror our imperfect world at the moment’ (Toneshift).
She has released music on Fabrique Records, Important Records and Longform Editions. Jana's music and sound design for feature films, documentaries, VR experiences and video installations has received multiple nominations and awards. She has presented her music in North America and across Europe including Atonal Berlin Festival, Extreme Chill Festival in Reykjavik, INA grm Focus series, Fylkingen Stockholm, Fluc Vienna and blurred edges festival Hamburg.
