German-Icelandic composer Steingrimur Rohloff will speak about his recent projects. Rohloff says of his own music: “My music only consists of a beautiful surface—if it all—at first glance. Whoever enters the sounds and proceeds to the music’s interior will find a complexity influenced by the organic structures of nature—with all its layerings and branches.” Rohloff’s music focuses on tonality that is not defined and is what he calls a “fusion aesthetic.” Rohloff studied with Krzysztof Meyer at the Cologne Academy of Music from 1994 to 1998, and at the renowned Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique from 1998 to 2001.
