Jakob Schauer
is a musician, composer and sound artist with an extensive CV of solo and collaborative performances featuring fixed media as well as audio-visual formats of pure electronics, both improvised and composed. His visually and emotionally evocative sceneries are created by analog and synthetic sources in an attempt to build hyper-realistic atmospheres. Interested in sounds as objects in space and in sonic gestures, his approach to sound is visual, spatial and interdisciplinary.
He has performed at a wide range of cities and festivals that include Parken, Unsafe&Sound, Klangmanifeste, Lichtfest Krems, Sonic Territories or Playground AV Festival and designed spatial sound installation, multi media installations and art works in virtual reality for various contexts.
He spends a considerable amount of time developing his music and ideas into a magnetic mix of deep drones, eerie atmospherics and blissful melancholy with a good dash of humour in his surreal and vibrant output.
