I work with sound. 

The desire to blur the boundaries between genres and find the delicate balance between familiarity and strangeness is at the heart of my recent works. In addition to orchestral and chamber music, I frequently integrate electronics into my compositions, often within music-theatre projects and films. 

I studied composition at the Universidad Católica de Chile, and later continue my studies with Stefano Gervasoni at the Paris Conservatory. Between 2013 and 2015, I participated in the Cursus 1 & 2 programs at IRCAM in Paris.

I address topics and questions of our time in collaborative projects with other contemporary artists. Notable collaborators include Maëlle Dequiedt, Mohamed Mbougar Sarr, Florentin Ginot, Alex W. Inker, and Rémy Reber, among many others.

I have received distinctions such as the Musica Festival Academy’s prize and the CDMC prize at the INJUVE academy in Madrid. My compositions have been commissioned by prominent institutions like the Donaueschinger Musiktage, the MUSICA festival, IRCAM, the Festival Messiaen, the Royaumont Foundation, Radio France, the CNSMDP, ensemble C Barré and United Instruments of Lucilin, among others. 

I held an artist-in-residence position at the Camargo Foundation in Cassis in 2017, at United Instruments of Lucilin, the ExperimentalStudio of the SWR, and the GMEM and between 2019 and 2021 and composer in residency at the Festival d'Autan 2025. Since 2024, I have been pursuing a PhD in stage composition within the SACRe program in Paris.

Schallfeld is an international ensemble for contemporary music based in Graz. The group sparks the interest of its audience by its vivid virtuosity and refined chamber music sound, paired with interpretations that pay special attention to concert format, creating events that adapt to the specific venue while aiming for a new dimension of listening.
The ensemble was founded in 2013 by alumni of Klangforum Wien and composition students of Kunstuniversität Graz. It currently consists of musicians from 8 nationalities and reflects the diversity and different interests of its members in its artistic direction. In the last few years, Schallfeld has been able to establish itself on international stages through exciting programming with a focus on young composers, innovative concert-stagings as well as through the quality of its collective improvisations and innovative use of live-electronics. 
Schallfeld sees its mission in bringing music of international young composers to Austria and acting as an ambassador for new music production abroad. Besides its own concert cycle in Graz, Schallfeld is regularly guest in festivals in Austria and abroad, such as Wien Modern, Impuls Graz, Klangspuren Schwaz, Darmstädter Ferienkurse, Afekt (Estonia), Poznan Musical Spring (Poland), EMA (Spain), Daegu International Contemporary Music Festival (South Korea). In 2016 and 2017 Schallfeld has been selected by the Ministry of Foreign/cultural Affairs as rappresentative of NASOM (New Austrian Sound of Music), a program designed to promote young Austrian artists internationally.
The ensemble is also involved in pedagogical activities and collaborative theater projects for children and adults. Schallfeld is funded by the municipality of Graz, the federal state of Styria, the Austrian federal Government and receives generous support from the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz and the iem (Institute for Electronic Music and Acoustics) Graz. Past projects by Schallfeld have also received grants by the EU (Youth in Action), Music Austria (MICA) and KulturKontakt Austria.

Zesses Seglias is a composer of sonic bodies and lingual structures. His compositional output focuses on the relationship between the sound of voice and its semantic, as defined by language. Much of this repertoire is staged, although concert pieces also share the same principle. Latest compositional activity focuses on unifying musical and spoken language in an hybrid of sound and meaning described as spoken sound theatre.
