Works and lives in Berlin (b. São Paulo, 1996)
PhD Researcher, University of Aberdeen
Low-frequency sound artist and composer Stefanie Egedy creates embodied vibrational experiences grounded in sound as physical force through site-specific installations, commissioned works and compositions. Sub-bass, bass and infrasound (LFS) — their tactility and capacity to permeate and traverse space, perceived by the skin and the body rather than the ear alone, form the core of her artistic practice.
Her work explores the relationships between sound waves, architectural bodies and human bodies, investigating the physiological and somatic effects of LFS on human perception and bodily experience. Egedy's practice builds two bodies of work: BODIES AND SUBWOOFERS (B.A.S.), which explores the sculptural presence of subwoofers and their relationships with human and architectural bodies through LFS, and SONIC ENERGETICS, which creates LFS environments that support somatic grounding and inner orientation. Immersed in this context, she articulates the crossing between sonic and musical language to investigate sonic communication between beings.
In 2026, Egedy began her PhD research on low-frequency sound at the University of Aberdeen, under the supervision of Prof. Suk-Jun Kim.
She co-founded and manages the label COISAS QUE MATAM (THINGS THAT KILL) and has collaborated internationally with Chris Salter, Alexis Blake, and Fernando Velázquez, among others. In 2025 she co-authored the research paper "Post-Music with Subwoofers as Instruments: A New Approach to Bodily Composition" with Holger Lund.
Stefanie Egedy has exhibited and presented work at Art Basel and HEK in Basel, KW Institute for Contemporary Art, CTM Festival, Berghain, Heroines of Sound Festival, Tresor, Radialsystem, and MONOM in Berlin, MIT and Harvard University in Cambridge, The High Line in New York, FIBER Festival in Amsterdam, Sónar+D in Istanbul, Kunstfest Weimar, Zentrale in Vienna, Centro Pecci in Prato, Fénis Castle and Nextones Festival in Italy, Lisboa Soa Festival in Lisbon, NEW NOW Festival at Zollverein UNESCO World Heritage Site in Essen, Hellerau’s Biennale in Dresden, STUK in Belgium, WIELS in Brussels, Struer Tracks Biennial for Sound Art and Listening in Denmark, Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires, Museu Paranaense in Curitiba, Sesc Avenida Paulista, Museu da Imagem e do Som (MIS), and Festival Novas Frequências in Rio de Janeiro, among others.
In 2017, Egedy attended an artist residency at Red Bull Station in São Paulo, returning to give a lecture in 2019. In 2022–2023 she was selected as part of the European Commission's Creative Europe-supported SHAPE+ artist programme, and in 2024 she was awarded a grant for the Sound Art Lab Residency in Struer, Denmark.
