Jonas Hammerer
Jonas Hammerer is a Vienna-based musician and sound artist working with
synthetic, process-oriented systems for live performances, sound
installations and collaborative works.
In his artistic practice he uses analog and digital sound synthesis as
material and form-giving process, exploring instability and emergent
behavior in which form develops without fixed compositional structures.
He also realizes commissioned sound works and audio software for artists
and cultural institutions.
He studied electroacoustic and experimental music at the University of
Music and Performing Arts Vienna, where he was working at the Artistic
Research Center as part of the AESR sound projection lab. He is a member
of kv.r., an independent venue and collective organizing experimental
music shows in Vienna.

with systems and situations involving chance and unpredictability.

electronic and sometimes chaotic abstract oceans of sound. Forces’ music
has been released on Biodiversità Records, evo-natura, mappa, Infinite
Machine, Gin & Platonic, Genot Centre, Conditional and Bio Future
Laboratory, and has also been played in DJ mixes by experimental
producers like Aphex Twin, Daniel Ruane and ZULI.
