Who Are You?

Explore the inner self of the maker.

Who Are You?

Intro

Who Are You? explores the inner self of the maker. Which part of yourself do you want to highlight, or leave in the shadows? Do you want to reveal a new aspect of yourself, or reinforce an existing image? Who Are You? is an invitation to young composers to present themselves to the public.


Within a four-month trajectory, Kluster5 worked with a small group of composers on developing new pieces. At the core of these works lies the question: Who Are You? Through exercises and coaching sessions, this question was explored. The answers found a place in different shapes and forms: in music, text and objects. In this performance you will not only listen to new music, you will also get to know three composers.

Tobias Alvarez Di Desidero

I’m Tobias, a British-born Mexican composer and sound creator. The music I make grows from the way I move through the world, how I listen, perceive, and imagine. My practice draws from personal memory, soundscape, poetry, and the textures of human experience. I am interested in the emotional relationships that shape our perception of reality, a reality guided by imagination, where sound becomes a passage between spaces and moments. Through listening, we are transported, encountering echoes of elsewhere and fragments of time that awaken curiosity toward the world around us. Working with expectation, contrast, and narrative, I create musical environments where meaning emerges beyond sound itself, allowing the extramusical to unfold and resonate.



Changjin Ha

Changjin Ha is a Korean composer who explores the fragmentation of life in our digitalized society. He seeks for ways to weave these disparate materials into holistic, immersive narratives, utilizing textures such as fluid glissandi and disrupted loops. His music crafts an ethereal dimension, inviting the audience into a deeply personal space that reflects a forward-looking attitude toward navigating an ever-changing world. By offering these sincere fragments of experience, Ha envisions his art as a pleasant, lingering resonance that continues to live beautifully within the listener.
