Mariam Gviniashvili is a composer and sound artist working at the intersection of electroacoustic music, 3D sound, and multimedia performance. Her work explores the physical and emotional dimensions of sound and space, often integrating visuals and live performance.

Originally from Georgia, Mariam’s musical journey began in early childhood with singing and piano, eventually leading her to composition studies at the Tbilisi State Conservatoire, the Liszt Academy of Music, and the Norwegian Academy of Music. This diverse background informs her artistic themes, from the distractions of online meetings in DAYDREAMING (2022) to the “strange cosmic ballet” (5 against 4) of the audiovisual piece REVELATION (2021), and DECONSTRUCTION (2020), a reflection on the spread patterns of viruses.

Her work has been presented at festivals, venues, and radio broadcasts worldwide, including INA GRM, ZKM | Center for Art and Media, Ars Electronica, EMPAC, New York Electroacoustic Music Festival, BEAST FEaST, Virginia Tech, Transitions at CCRMA, MA/IN, ICMC, Mixtur Festival, Klingt Gut, In Situ Festival, Heroines of Sound, Ultima Festival, and BBC Radio.

Mariam is the recipient of two Honorary Mentions from Prix Ars Electronica (2021, 2023), the PRIX CIME, and the Work of the Year Award (NKF)
