Jessica Ekomane

Jessica Ekomane is an electronic musician and composer. Born in France, she lives and works in Berlin. Her work often utilizes computer music techniques, sound synthesis and algorithmic composition.

In 2024, she released Manifolds, a piece commissioned by the Groupe de Recherches Musicales (GRM) for its loudspeaker orchestra, the Acousmonium.
