Ellen Jacobs

Ellen Jacobs is a composer and flutist. In her work, she explores the perception of sound and the boundary between everyday sound and music. By isolating and recontextualising sounds, she creates layered soundscapes in which acoustic and electronic elements come together.

She studied composition at KASK & Conservatoire Ghent under Daan Janssens and attended masterclasses with, amongst others, Oscar Bettison, Ansgar Beste, Malin Bång and Clara Iannotta. Her work has been performed by ensembles such as HERMESensemble, Plus-Minus Ensemble and Núna Ensemble. As part of MakerSpace, she is collaborating with I SOLISTI to explore the interplay between electronic and acoustic sound and new listening experiences.
