Malin Bång's music is an exploration of movement and energy. She defines her musical material according to their amount of friction to create a spectrum of unpredictable and contrasting actions, ranging from the intimate and barely audible to the harsh and obstinate. In her work she often incorporates acoustic objects to explore a rich sound world and to suggest that a musical content can be shaped by anything valuable to the artistic purpose. Malin Bång is residing in Stockholm, Sweden and is the composer in residence and a founding member of the Curious Chamber Players. Her work includes music for instrumental ensembles, orchestra, electronic music based on field recordings, and instrumental performance pieces. Lately she has specifically explored the mixed, amplified instrumental ensemble extended with acoustic objects in collaboration with the members of Curious Chamber Players. Her works are performed worldwide and some recent projects include
the orchestra work splinters of ebullient rebellion for SWR Sinfonieorchester, for which she received the Donaueschinger Musiktage Orchestra Prize 2018, the instrumental documentary drama kudzu /the sixth phase/, at Deutschlandfunk in Kölnthe portrait concert how long is now at Ultraschall Festival 2014 performed by the CCP, Klangforum Wien at the Impuls festival, Ensemble Recherche at the Wittener Tage für Neue Musik, Ensemble Nikel at the Donaueschinger Musiktage, Nadar Ensemble for the Darmstadt Ferienkurse and Faint Noise at the Huddersfield Festival.
