Asalaus (Ása Önnu Ólafsdóttir, she/her, b. 2000) is a sound artist, musician and composer hailing from Reykjavík, Iceland. Her practice focuses on the relationship between object and sound. She frequently uses magnetic material such as tape in her work and material often guides the process and determines the outcome of a piece. As a composer and musician, she works with graphic notation, extended techniques and integration of live electronics, and has released a few albums, both as Asalaus and as a member of the bands Ateria and Gaffer Ensemble. Ása’s works have been commissioned, exhibited and performed widely in Europe and America. She recently graduated with an MFA in sound art from Columbia University.
