Austrian guitarist, composer, and electronic musician Christian Fennesz is recognized as a key figure in the electronic music scene today. His wide international reputation has been consolidated through his substantial contribution to a new musical expression.
Within the last 10 years, Fennesz has collaborated with many musicians, filmmakers, and dancers such as Ryuichi Sakamoto, David Sylvian, Keith Rowe, Mark Linkous of Sparklehorse, and Mike Patton. At this year’s Ars Electronica Festival, Fennesz will perform Mahler Remixed, which was initially recorded live at Radiokulturhaus, Vienna by Christoph Amann, in May 2011. Together with visual artist Lillevan he will re-contextualise samples taken from Gustav Mahler’s symphonies.
