Matthias Kranebitter

Matthias Kranebitter studied electro-acoustic composition under Dieter Kaufmann and German Toro-Perez, media composition under Klaus-Peter Sattler, both in Vienna, post-gradual composition in Amsterdam as well as in Graz under Alexander Stankovski and Beat Furrer. His music deals with aspects of our media society with its flood of information. It is characterised by a high degree of density and heterogeneity and by the inclusion of a great variety of (non-)musical materials as a means of de-hierarchisation and qualification of dogmas and taboos. Mostly, Kranebitter works with electronic and new media. Previous collaborations included, among others, the Belgian Nadar Ensemble, the Decoder Ensemble in Hamburg, the Ensemble Mosaik in Berlin, the Talea Ensemble in New York, the Ensemble Phace, the Klangforum Wien and the RSO in Vienna. Kranebitter is one of the co-founders of the Unsafe+Sounds Festival and the artistic director of the Black Page Orchestra.
