Kristina Wolfe is a sound artist, media artist, and composer of electronic and experimental music. She is a Doctoral Candidate at Brown University (expected 2016) in the Multimedia and Musical Experiments (MEME) program, and holds an MA in Digital Musics from Dartmouth College and a BA in Music Technology from Florida International University.

In both her art practice and academic research she studies the use of electronic sound as a perceptual mediator and the myriad ways in which electronic music practices help listeners to perceive invisible aspects of the world. She explores these topics in both spiritual and academic senses, and from both contemporary and historical perspectives. In the past, she has researched how the shadows of other times can be perceived and referenced through the physical aspects of electronic media, historical performance practice, notions of scoring and representation, and many types of music theory.

Her work also incorporates time, place, presence, resonance, ritualistic controllers, spectral techniques, mysticism, interactivity, medievalism, illumination, tunings, Deep Listening, and lutherie. She plays the Viola da Gamba, Electric Bass, and Double Bass.
