Шаблон:Short description Alexander Schubert (born 13 July 1979) is a German composer. Much of his music is experimental, involving multimedia, improvisatory, and interactive elements.[1] He draws upon free jazz, techno, and pop styles.[2][3]
Biography
Alexander Schubert was born in Bremen. He studied Bioinformatics in Leipzig, then spent a year at the Center for Art and Media Technology in Karlsruhe at the Institute of Music and Acoustics.[4] He received a doctorate in multimedia composition at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hamburg, studying under Georg Hajdu and Manfred Stahnke.[5] He teaches at the Musikhochschule Hamburg,[6] directs the electronic studio at Musikhochschule Lübeck[7] and has been a visiting lecturer at Darmstadt International Summer Courses.[8] A founding member of ensembles Decoder, Trnn, Schubert-Kettlitz-Schwerdt, and Ember, he has also pursued an experimental pop music solo project under the name Sinebag.[9]
Schubert's pieces have been performed at several international institutions, including Wien Modern,[10][11][12] ICMC,[13] SMC,[14] Ultima Oslo Contemporary Music Festival,[15] DLF Forum neuer Musik,[16][17] IRCAM,[18][19][20] ZKM Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe, Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival,[21][22] and Blurred Edges in Hamburg.[23]
Music
Jennifer Walshe, Matthew Shlomowitz and Zubin Kanga have situated Schubert within what Walshe terms "The New Discipline" of contemporary music, alongside such composers as James Saunders and François Sarhan.[24][25] Shlomowitz writes, Шаблон:Quote
Schubert's music makes extensive use of multimedia, including live video, internet-sourced content, lighting, and motion sensors.[26][27] Praised by some commentators for its fusion of avant-garde and pop styles,[28][29] immersive qualities,[30][31] and distinctive engagement with the internet,[32][33] Schubert's critics have found his work excessively confrontational[34] or conceptual.[35]
Accolades
In 2009, Schubert won the Bourges Residency Prize, and his piece Nachtschatten (Nightshade) placed in the Canadian Electroacoustic Community "Jeu de temps" competition.[36] He won the European Conference of Promoters of New Music competition in 2012[37] and a Giga-Hertz Production Award in 2013.[38] Wiki-Piano.Net received an honorary mention in the 2019 Prix Ars Electronica.[39]
Writings
Schubert has published articles on virtuality, post-digitality and multimedia composition. A collection of texts can be found in his book Switching Worlds.
