Simon Steen-Andersen

Danish composer living in Berlin, Simon Steen-Andersen navigates between instrumental music, electro, video, and theatrical performance composing for symphony orchestras and chamber ensembles (with or without multimedia accompaniment), for the stage, for solo performances, and for installations. For the past decade, his work has focused on the inclusion of concrete elements in music, while highlighting physical and choreographed elements of instrumental performance. He often features amplified acoustic instruments combined with samplers, video, found objects, and artisanal constructions.
