Dmitri Kourliandski, composer and sound artist born 1976 in Moscow. Since 2022 lives and works in France. Winner of a number of composers competitions incl. Gaudeamus, Franco Abbiati, Gianni Bergamo and Johann Joseph Fux prizes a.o. In 2008 he was artist-in-residence of the Berliner Künstlerprogramm and in 2010 – composer-in-residence of the 2E2M ensemble in Paris. Author of chamber, orchestra and opera works performed worldwide at concerts and festivals by well known musicians and collectives. In his compositions, often static and repetitive, he develops the concept of objective music, understood as an object, as a visual phenomenon, or, more broadly, as a spatial installation (often interactive). His works are published by Donemus and Editions Jobert. Currently Dmitri Kourliandski is a fellow of Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin.

Octophonic performance:

Espaces bruts.
Recently, I have begun to sketch the concept of École Brut — not a school in the institutional sense, but a tentative philosophy of creation. From this orientation, fragments have started to surface: textual, sonic, visual. Nothing here is finished; perhaps nothing ever will be. One such emergence is the project Espaces bruts: a multichannel improvisation woven from the materials of the album S/Low (August 2025). It unfolds as an extended inhabiting of a rarefied environment — slow, low, dispersed and suspended. Within this dwelling, each participant are invited to discover their own meanings, images, resonances.
