Marko Ciciliani

(The Netherlands/Austria)

Born in Croatia, Ciciliani received his musical training as a composer and electronic musician in New York, Hamburg and The Hague. Already during his studies he has collected extensive experience not only in the fields of “academic” composition, but also in free improvisation and cross-disciplinary projects. Typical for Ciciliani’s work is that it combines seemingly contradictory materials, giving the composition a feeling of experiment and playfulness, with surprising turns and a variety of color. In his more recent work a special field of interest lies in the combination of sound and light, which was also the topic of his PhD research that he completed at Brunel University London.

The different “genres” in which Ciciliani’s music can be heard and seen, are reflecting his manifold musical activities. His music has been programmed by festivals and concert series of electronic experimental music like Club Transmediale Berlin, SuperDeluxe/Tokyo or the NowNow Series/Sydney just as much as by festivals for chamber music like Wien Modern, Forum Neue Musik Deutschlandfunk, Zagreb Biennale, ISCM World Music Days and many more.

Marko Ciciliani is guest-professor at the Institute for Acoustics and Media (IEM) of the Arts University in Graz/Austria and is also teaching at the composition department of the University for Music and Performing Arts Vienna. Furthermore he is lecturer at the University of Applied Sciences in St.Pölten.
