The Greek composer Orestis Toufektsis (born 1966 in Tashkent/Uzbekistan) lives and works in Austria.

His compositional work is characterised above all by a specific formal thinking that increasingly questions the usual musical dramaturgy. While he incorporates non-musical sources of inspiration in the creation of morphological and rhythmic structures (self-similarity, combinatorics, graphic arts) and sometimes drastically limits the possibilities of processing his sonic material to a few selected methods, at the same time he follows very different compositional approaches in terms of form, pitch structure and harmony from work to work. The oeuvre thus includes 40-minute works for solo instruments (echochronoi) alongside 7-minute works for chamber ensemble (maskalda) and works whose harmony is derived exclusively from 3 finely tuned tetrachords (string quartet hommage á Machaut) alongside works with highly complex harmonic structures (timescales 4 for ensemble and piano automaton).
