Mario Verandi (1960- )
Mario
Verandi is an Argentinean born composer, sound and media artist. He
primarily works with new technologies as an aid to exploring and
expanding the boundaries of sound, space, perception and meaning. A
distinct characteristic of his work has been the exploration of the
poetic and evocative potential of concrete and environmental sounds and
their incorporation in sound compositions, audiovisual installations,
live performances and radio art pieces. His works have received prizes
and awards in the Bourges International Electroacoustic Music
Competition (France), Musica Nova Competition (Prague), CIEJ Electronic
Music Awards (Barcelona), Prix Ars Electronica (Linz), Stockholm
Electronic Art Awards (Sweden), SGAE Electroacoustic Music Competition
(Spain) and the European Bell Days Composition Prize (ZKM, Karlsruhe).
Verandi was artist-in-residence at La Muse en Circuit (Paris), at
the Césaré studio de création musicale (Reims), TU-Electronic Music
Studios Berlin, ZKM (Karlsruhe) and the Cuenca Electroacoustic Music
Studios (Spain). In addition, he was selected to participate in the
1998 International Course for Professional Composers and Choreographers
at Bretton Hall University (UK), the 1999 Music Theater Workshop at the
Theater Royal Stratford East (London) and in the 1996 "Exchange" for
Professional Composers and Choreographers at the Royal Festival Hall
(London). He has a long-standing interest in interdisciplinary projects
and as a result has created music and sound designs for art
installations, dance, theatre, films and the radio. Verandi has
collaborated among others with the American visual artist Catherine
Ferguson, German choreographer Helge Musial, Polish theater director
Grazyna Kania, German film-maker Harun Farocki, German visual artist
Corinna Rosteck, Berlin-based visual artitst Lillevan and Russian
visual artists Igor and Svetlana Kopystianski. He has given
presentations and lectures in several institutions in Europe and the
USA and was guest lecturer at the musicology department of the Berlin
Free University. COMPOSITIONS Verandi Links ~ ~ ~ Works by Genre ~ ~ ~ Verandi on Verandi
