Pascal Lund-Jensen (1995) is a composer, sound and media artist living in Zurich. His artistic work includes performances, electroacoustic compositions as well as sound and video installations. He completed his Bachelor Sound Arts at the University of the Art Bern before taking up the Master in Electroacoustic Composition at the Zurich University of the Arts.

Through his object-oriented form of sonic and visual construction, he plays with the relationship between the observer and the subject. His works require the physical space and the presence of the audience in order to depict the dimensions and movements of the objects in relation to the observer. This is shown by the fact that his works often find a site-specific form, where the environment and the physical space are a significant part of the works.

In his ongoing research, Lund-Jensen explores the generation of synthetic sounds with tangible physical attributes to construct artificial environments and soundscapes, by creating imaginary objects, materials, and organisms through digital sound generation, thereby allowing for the manipulation of materiality, texture, and behaviour within these artificial realms. Utilising multi-channel setups, He positions the listener as an active presence within these environments, fostering an awareness of their resilience and vulnerability in relation to the ever-shifting physical properties and dimensions of the sonic landscapes. This research manifests through various formats, including performances and installations and continues to evolve as a central component of his creative practice.

His works and collaborations have been shown at the Ars Electronica Festival, Lausanne underground Film and Music Festival and various exhibitions, concerts and performances in Switzerland.

The tools Lund-Jensen uses for his compositions and works he publishes in the form of Max For Live Devices under the name RSL devices. Among other things, he developed the sound design instrument „Stright“, which is used by sound designers and composers worldwide.
