Minas Borboudakis

Minas Borboudakis (b. 1974) studied composition and piano in Munich and Hamburg. He attended masterclasses with Luciano Berio, George Crumb, Wolfgang Rihm, Rudolf Kehrer and Aleksey Nasedkin, and regularly appears as a pianist all over Europe, performing his own music and other repertoire of the 20th and 21st centuries. His style is characterized by microtonality, percussive timbres and glissando sounds, and explores the inspiration he derives from ideas of time and space as well as from a close study of classical philosophy, literature and mythology. His work also refects a contemplation of scientifc and cosmological questions. With its strong rhythmic momentum, his music incorporates archaic tonal systems and ancient Greek rhythmic patterns, as well as experimental electronic sounds. These, in turn, have an immediate impact on the treatment of the acoustic material, resulting in an interweaving of the two.

Minas Borboudakis (*1974) studierte in München und Hamburg Komposition und Klavier. Er besuchte Meisterklassen bei Luciano Berio, George Crumb, Wolfgang Rihm, Rudolf Kehrer und Aleksej Nasedkin und konzertiert europaweit als Pianist sowohl mit eigenen als auch mit anderen Werken des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts. Zentrale Momente seiner von Mikrotonalität, perkussiven Timbres und glissandierenden Klängen durchzogenen Kompositionen sind die Beschäftigung mit Zeit und Raum und die Auseinandersetzung mit antiker Philosophie, Literatur und Mythologie sowie mit naturwissenschaftlich-kosmologischen Fragen. Die Einbeziehung antiker Tonsystem und altgriechischer rhythmischer Muster prägen seine einem starken rhythmischen Impuls unterworfene Musik ebenso wie das Experimentieren mit elektronischen Klängen, ihr unmittelbarer Einfuss auf die Gestaltung des akustischen Materials und die Verschmelzung der beiden klanglichen Ebenen.
