Martina Bertoni is a Berlin-based experimental cellist and composer whose work “dissolves the boundaries between emotion and architecture, crafting soundscapes where control and resonance become fluid entities” (A Closer Listen). Bridging classical rigour with avant-garde exploration, her practice spans electro-acoustic composition, generative systems, and drone minimalism, interrogating sound’s capacity to reshape spatial and temporal perception. Central to her research is the use of timelessness as a compositional framework.
Her discography includes Music for Empty Flats (Karlrecords, 2021), Hypnagogia (2023), a study in “haunted minimalism” (Boomkat) and Electroacoustic Works for Halldorophone (2025), which furthers her inquiry into destabilised tunings and generative systems.
Beyond her artistic practice, Martina’s cello and original works have been featured in numerous soundtracks for films, series, and documentaries. She is currently a Lecturer for the Electronic Music Production & Performance and for the Creative Audio Practice & Sound Engineering Programs at Catalyst Institute for Creative Arts and Technology in Berlin.
