Eve Maret is a Nashville-based experimental artist and composer who employs a wide array of electronic media and techniques in her various disciplines, exploring the possibilities of personal and communal healing through creative action.
“I’m keenly interested in how my sense of hearing relates to the sixth sense, or the intuitive sense, which lies beyond normal perception. There’s a lot that I sense throughout the day that I can’t verbally express, and music is a means for me to process that which lies beyond the visible. Everything has a frequency. Sound is a thought. Sound is a plant growing in my window. Sound is a dream I had last night.” - Eve Maret
To Eve, the act of creating is a wholehearted “Yes.” She is devoted to creating and performing in a way that is inherently artful, emotionally raw, and transcendent. Drawing inspiration from nineteenth-century orchestral and choral works, the Fluxus movement, Kosmische Musik and funk, Eve makes use of digital and modular synthesizers, a vocoder, clarinet, electric bass, guitar, and field recordings to create works that range from lush cinematic compositions to space disco. Eve’s music practice is a conversation with her numerous curiosities, manifested in the form of video art, drawing, dance, ritual, and cymatics. She studied percussion with Chester Thompson (The Mothers of Invention, Bee Jees) at Belmont University in 2012 and attended Mills University for a semester in 2019, where she studied electronic music and recording media with Laetitia Sonami, James Fei, and John Bischoff.
Eve has performed across the United States alongside artists such as Matmos, Guerilla Toss, Xiu Xiu, JEFF the Brotherhood, Lydia Lunch, and Sun Araw. Eve’s 2019 release, No More Running (Deluxe Edition), was reviewed by The Wire Magazine and was featured on Bandcamp’s Album of the Day series. She is hailed to present “a loving tribute to her community, maintained by a distinct, individual voice that’s impossible to ignore” (Bandcamp, USA). Eve’s music has been featured on Echoes Radio and Iggy Pop’s BBC radio show Iggy Confidential. “Synthesizer Hearts,” off of Eve’s 2020 release, Stars Aligned, appeared on BBC Radio 6 Music’s B-List in December 2020 and premiered on Mary Anne Hobbs’ BBC Radio show “Music From The Near Future.” In 2021, Eve contributed to Moebius Strips, an audio installation and compilation album honoring the work of electronic music pioneer Dieter Moebius. Other contributors include Geoff Barrow (Portishead, Beak), Sarah Davachi, Jean-Benoît Dunckel (Air), Mark Mothersbaugh (Devo), Phew, Hans-Joachim Roedelius (Cluster, Harmonia), Michael Rother (Harmonia, NEU!) and Yuri Suzuki.
In addition to her personal creative practices, Eve is committed to providing avenues for others to create and uplift one another. In 2018, She, Jess Chambers, Deli Paloma-Sisk, and Arlene Sparacia founded Hyasynth House, an electronic music collective and education center for female, trans, and non-binary artists. Together they facilitated workshops, performances, and community-wide conversations in an effort to support and empower marginalized groups. The founders went their separate ways in 2019, but Eve continues to lead electronic music workshops and to organize live music events in Nashville and beyond.
