Maria Pelekanou is a Greek composer and sound artist based in Bremen, Germany. Her work explores electroacoustic composition, acousmatic music, spatial sound, and soundscape art, often blending voice, field recordings, and multichannel formats to create immersive sonic environments. Her artistic practice focuses on listening as an act of perception and memory, and engages with themes such as identity, ecology, and social narrative. She studied Music Technology and Acoustics at the Hellenic Mediterranean University (Crete) and holds a Master’s degree in Electroacoustic Composition from Hochschule für Künste Bremen, where she studied with Kilian Schwoon. Maria’s works have been featured at international festivals and institutions including ZKM Karlsruhe (next_generation), SF Tape Music Festival (San Francisco), Greek Electroacoustic Music Days, ICEM Festival, and the Conference on Acoustic Ecology. Her composition Nach der Stille was included on the 30th anniversary CD of DEGEM and premiered at ZKM, while her 8-channel piece Time is Up was praised for its formal clarity and spatial detail.
