 Hans-Gunter Lock |
Composer and musicologist Hans-Gunter Lock lives and works in Estonia since 2000. His oeuvre comprises predominantly electronic and electroacoustic music, chamber works and film music. He often experiments with light, video, text, movement and sound looking for use of interactive means and options to connect different forms of art. Hans-Gunter Lock has been increasingly engaged in real-time sound synthesis and creation of musical environments involving analogue synthesis and digital electronic instruments as well as acoustic and electromechanical instruments as disklavier. He has also created music, where sound, through the use of sensors, is synthesized of influenced by physical processes. In many of his projects he has used motion sensors as a source of sound synthesis. |
Hans-Gunter Lock’s way of creative thinking has been strongly influenced and renewed by the cooperation with composer and conductor Andrus Kallastu. Many alternative musical concepts as open form, interdisciplinarity, united forms of art and experimental solutions, have been discussed and practiced in their numerous projects.
Hans-Gunter Lock has acquired music education in Germany and Estonia. He studied music theory, composition and electroacoustic music at the Leipzig Felix Mendelssohn Academy of Music and Theatre and musicology at Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre, where he additionally took part in courses of electronic music studio. He has supplemented himself in Hamburg Academy of Music and Theatre in the field of multimedia composition. Since 2008, he is a PhD student at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre, studying composition under the guidance of Associate Professor Margo Kõlar.
