(Emily and Bilwa, Unfinnish, KMF, Turku, February 2012)

Perpetual Movement Sound is the collaboration of Bilwa, a sound artist and electronic musician, and movement artist Emily Sweeney. We began working together in 2006. Currently, we are working internationally, generating research/ lab/ performance projects and actively cultivating opportunities for artists to work together on new interdisciplinary experiments. Collaboration and use of improvisation are central to our practice. We have performed and led workshops in North America, Europe, and Australia, including: New York City, Philadelphia, Mexico, Berlin, Turku, Helsinki, Melbourne, Vienna, Tallinn, Tartu, Sonderborg, Vilnius, and St. Erme.

We are fortunate to count among our current and past collaborators: Martín Lanz Landázuri, Mariella Greil, Jil Stifel, Gene Coleman, Audrey Chen, Christian Schroeder, Florian Tuerke, Christian Weiss, Dennis Tan, Malin Astner, Raisa Kröger, Signe Koefoed, Michael McDermott (Mikronesia), Rebecca Patek, Zornitsa Stoyanova, Werner Moebius, Rosa Isaldur, Ewa Huber, Samuel Schaab, Luca Marini, Andrea Serafim, Kristin Horrigan, Matthew Ragan, Jamie Gehring, John J.H.
