Galway Music Residency is thrilled to announce its International Guest Artist in Residence for 2024. Sander Saarmets, an Estonian composer and electronic musician will play in Áras Éanna on Wednesday 4 September at 8:30pm
Sander Saarmets, an Estonian composer and electronic musician, has ventured across international electronic scenes since the 2000s, studying composition and performance in Tallinn (EAMT), Stockholm (KMH), Lyon (CNSMD) and Hamburg (HfMT).
He’s known for creating music and soundscapes for various art forms, including film (e.g. Everyday Mysticism & A Pile of Ghosts), contemporary dance (e.g. Ainukordus & Artefactourism), and galleries (e.g. We Will Always Have Paris & Ghost Hits Wall). In the fall of 2020, his music was featured at New York Fashion Week. In 2023, his composition and the sky turned yellow (2022) was selected as one of the recommended works at the 69th International Rostrum of Composers in Hague. Regional_Express (a project by Ella Raidel, Petra Ardai and Marlene Rutzendorfer), an audiovisual experience on the regional train and in VR, is featured at the European Capital of Culture Bad Ischl Salzkammergut 2024. Sander‘s Sound Performance for Regional_Express was part of the Opening Program of Salzkammergut 2024.
Sound in all of its beauty, power and fragility is Sander’s main field of interest, next to creating semi-open systems for both the players and the audience to get lost in.
He has released albums under the monikers of Muschraum & V4R1.
