Pia Palme is a composer, performer and artistic researcher with a focus on experimental forms of music. Known for her radically ecological and multidisciplinary concepts, her practice interacts with writing, movement, and visual art. The backbone of her work is the physicality of performance, a theme she regularly revisits as a musician with her bass recorders. Her collaboration with the composer Éliane Radigue led to the realization of two pieces for bass recorder as part of Radigue’s OCCAM collection. From 2019–2022 she directed the artistic research project On the fragility of sounds (PEEK AR537 Austrian Science Fund FWF) at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz, exploring, composing, and producing new formats of music theatre and composition; in this study she cooperated with musicologist Christina Fischer-Lessiak and theatre scholar Irene Lehmann, and with institutions and artists worldwide. Her recognitions as artist include the Outstanding Artist Award of Austria (2015), scholarships and residences such as the Konen Saari Residence in Finland (2022), Sound and Music UK, the City of Vienna, the Örö Residence Programme Finland, Uncool Residence Switzerland, and Musician in Residence at The Banff Centre of the Arts, Canada. Recent book publication: Sounding Fragilites. An Anthology, Irene Lehmann and Pia Palme, editors (Hofheim: Wolke Verlag)
