Flo Wilson (they/she) is a composer, performer and artist from Aotearoa (NZ), based in Berlin (DE). Their practice spans choral-based experimental electronic performances, immersive spatial sound and video installations, composing for contemporary dance, and as a session songwriter/ producer. A central theme in Flo's work is the singing voice and its relationship to space, with their compositions often blurring the boundaries between organic and processed elements, weaving together intricate layers of sound to create lush sonic tapestries.

Flo's work has been presented internationally such as New Interfaces of Musical Expression (USA), Spatial Festival (Berlin), Taipei’s 王道銀行教育基金會 (TW), Australian Computer Music Conference (AUS) and has been acknowledged through grants, awards, and residencies such as the Toi Pōneke/NZSM Sonic Artist-In-Residence with Olivia Webb. Beyond their solo endeavours, Flo is an active cross-disciplinary collaborator, joining forces with visual artists, music technologists, dancers, and more to create multi-sensory experiences. In 2025, Flo premiered 'In The Stars' for six singers, six silos and six loudspeakers, which transformed the Silo Park (NZ) into 'a kind of giant hybrid organ' through their sonic activation; the piece was then nominated for the SOUNZ Contemporary Award, New Zealand's highest honour for contemporary composition.

They have released music on experimental tape label mfmp, and their latest sound work 'Prelude to a Requiem' was released bio-digitally through Saplings Records in 2022 run by vanguard electronic producer FIS. 'Prelude to a Requiem' raised enough money to plant over 1,000 mangrove trees through Eden Re-Forestation Projects to help fight coastal erosion.

Working as a professional audio engineer for RNZ, their credits include the ‘Let's be TRANSparent’ podcast (New York Radio Awards 2023 - Bronze Award), and ‘The Detail’ podcast (New Zealand Radio Awards 2023 - Best Factual Podcast).

Flo holds a first-class honours degree in Composition - Sonic Arts from Te Kōkī – New Zealand School of Music, and their thesis was published in the proceedings of the Australian Computer Music Conference.
