Violet Battaglia is a sound artist, composer, violinist and improviser who invites listeners to connect with the inherent beauty and complexity of the world around us. She is currently pursuing her bachelor's degree at California Institute of the Arts for violin performance and composition.

Grounded in a deep understanding of both classical and contemporary music, Battaglia began playing classical violin at age nine, experimenting with improvisation in Bluegrass and Swing styles. Her formative years spent in orchestras and chamber ensembles coached by the Kronos Quartet paved the way for an eclectic synthesis of folk, classical, electronic and improvisational sound work.

Her current work centers around overtone complexity and psychoacoustic phenomena through temperament, intonation, and extended-duration performances. This is demonstrated through her recent 5-limit vocal octet and welding fabrications. She strives to unveil the invisible physicality of sound, an investigation into aerial gestures, natural generativity and ephemeral spaces.

Originally from San Francisco, Battaglia is currently based in Los Angeles, CA.
