About Martin Stig Andersen

Martin Stig Andersen (b. 1973) creates acousmatic music, sound installations and electroacoustic theatre performances, and collaborates with a number of distinguished musicians, performance and video artists. Recently he ventured into the world of film sound, blurring the traditional dividing line between film music and sound design. As a composer Martin Stig Andersen has received commissions from various ensembles and organizations and his music has been performed in numerous international festivals. He has obtained distinctions in the ElektraMusic Award - listener’s prize (France), Prix Ton Bruynél (the Netherlands), the “Luigi Russolo” Competition (Italy), Bourges, and the Danish Arts Foundation’s Competition. While having undertaken numerous commissions, Martin Stig Andersen increasingly seeks to challenge cultural boundaries by conceptualizing, initializing and producing his own artistic projects. Most recently he has realized the large scale project Rabbit at the Airport collaborating with Robin Rimbaud (aka Scanner), clarinetist Gareth Davis, and visual designer Jacob Ballinger. Martin Stig Andersen graduated from The Royal Academy of Music in Aarhus in 2003 where he studied composition with Karl Aage Rasmussen and Bent Sørensen. He is currently pursuing a PhD in electroacoustic composition at City University, London, studying with Denis Smalley.
