Martijn Tellinga (Netherlands)
Martijn Tellinga is a composer and sound-artist in the field of new electro-acoustic music and sonic arts, and a recent graduate of a Masters degree in Sonology at the Royal Conservatory The Haque in Netherlands. His work shows a great care for textural qualities, an eye for compositoric detail, and seeks its identity in the overlap of formalised form and intuitive musicmaking. More than relying on melody, harmony and rhythm, these works are constructed from what Martijn calls the fundamental building blocks of music: timbre, texture, volume and time-elapse.
Tellinga's work has been performed and exhibited across the globe, he has been commissioned by such labels as Korm Plastics (Hol), Spekk (Japan), Cronica Electronica (Portugal) and Stichting Mixer (Hol), and has collaborated with numerous filmmakers, video-artists and autonome artists, providing soundtracks for animated and short films. His ongoing project ‘Boca Raton’ particularly deals with the synthesis between concrete unstaged sound and synthetic sonorities. As it has never shown any steady state, the project develops over time according to the composer's ideas and capacities.
Tellinga is also the founder of Stichting Mixer, a vital platform for contemporary electro-acoustic music having organised numerous events and released over 25 titles today.
Tura is thrilled to have Martijn performing at Zho 76 as part of his 2007 Australian concert tour.
