Maddie Ashman | KLAENG Festival 2025

In the organizer's words:

She is one of the most exciting newcomers on the avant-garde pop scene: a visionary composer who transforms microtonal music into hypnotic, accessible soundscapes. Her EP Otherworld topped the Bandcamp folk charts, generated millions of streams and brought her over 100,000 new fans, including Anthony Fantano and Jacob Collier. From sold-out shows in Istanbul to the acclaimed premiere of Painting with Glass with GOKUMI and international festival appearances, Maddie Ashman pushes the boundaries between avant-garde, pop and installation. With her audiovisual vision, most recently presented at COP-27 and the Aldeburgh Festival, she is regarded as a must-hear artist who is rethinking the future of pop.
