Emma is an international performer, improviser, composer, and artist. She performs as a soloist and in small ensembles, working often with live electronics, and collaborating regularly with composers. In addition to the modern set-up, she plays a baroque violin and performs both baroque and contemporary music written specifically for this instrument.
As an improviser, Emma's performance tends to be quiet and intimate in nature, exploring the innate timbral qualities of the violin, and discovering some of the often hidden sounds that can be found with her unique combination of technique and tools.
Ensembles include KUBOV, a violin/electronic duo with Jess Aslan (Edinburgh-London), duos with pianists Karin Schistek(Essen/Edinburgh) and Chris Lyons(Edinburgh), violin/viola duo Deux Mèches with Rachel Koblyakov (Paris), and violin/cello/electronics duo with Justyna Jablonska(Edinburgh). She is a member of Tesseris, a new Edinburgh-based string quartet and one third of Machine Orchid, a contemporary electro-alternative-folk-jazz-experimental group with fellow multi-instrumentalists Caro Bridges and Aurora Engine.
