Raphael Belfiore (1995 — Switzerland): Abstractive Extensive Studies

The hottest summer academy for Young  Composers

I am a Swiss composer currently based in Basel. My artistic practice lies between music, art and theory. Recent projects of mine have been presented in several European countries and include composed and improvised performances, ensemble pieces, video works, concert interventions a multi-media installation and recently also a book of text scores.
In my recent work I have tried to not only think about the notion and history of music but also to think with and through it in order to make works that function as models of different realities while being "about" or "from" reflections on musical phenomena.
I believe that beauty can be found in the rigorous cohesion between thought and action and I aim to apply this to my musical practice as much as possible. This hopefully results in works in which theory and practice are in deep interaction and cannot be dissociated.
