Malte Leander is a Swedish-French multidisciplinary creator and artist currently residing in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal, Canada. His primary artforms are sound and music, where he often explores soundscape composition, field-recording practices, and voice through text-sound composition and phonetic poetry. He also combines his compositional practice with experimental analog video production and DIY electronic projects in both installation and live performance, where his work often revolves around ecological thematics within sustainable sound practices, acoustic ecology, deep listening, and soundwalking. His creative efforts across disciplines have led him to showcase his work in Canada and internationally, spanning across Scandinavia, Mexico and the United States.

As a musician, Malte is involved in several ongoing projects. He composes ambient and electroacoustic music within the audiovisual collective Trajectories, and he is active with his personal music project, Cikada, where he acts as both producer and vocalist within contemporary R&B and hip-hop. He is actively engaged in various other contexts, from hosting and organizing musical events with the collective and music label So&Such, to collaborating with the digital art center Eastern Bloc in Montreal.
