The composer and artist Bernhard Gal creates electro-acoustic music and compositions for acoustic instruments. In his intermedia art projects and sound installations, he combines sound, light, objects, video projections, and spatial concepts.
Born in Vienna, Austria in 1971, Gal began to nurture his interest in music and (sound) art around 1985. After studies at Vienna’s University of Music (Sound Engineering) and the University of Vienna (Musicology), and a year-long residency in New York City in 1997–98, he has focused on his compositional and artistic activities. Since 1998, Gal has worked as a freelance composer and artist. He runs the record label Gromoga Records and is director of the Austrian art organization "sp ce". Currently, Gal lives in Vienna and Berlin where he also teaches sound art at the University of Arts.
An important aspect of his work is the combination of music with other art forms, in solo projects as well as in collaborations, e.g. with Yumi Kori, P. Michael Schultes, G.S. Sedlak, Akemi Takeya, and Emre Tuncer. As a (laptop) musician, Gal performs in solo concerts and has worked together with musicians such as Tung Chao-Ming, Kai Fagaschinski and Jennifer Walshe. For his music and art projects Gal has received numerous awards and grants, including the Karl Hofer Prize Berlin 2001, an Annual Grant from SKE-Fonds Vienna 2002, a fellowship from the DAAD Artists in Berlin Programme 2003, and the Austrian State Scholarship for Composition 2004. Bernhard Gal's music has been published by record labels such as Charhizma, Durian, Gromoga, Intransitive, Klanggalerie and Plate Lunch. In 2005, the German publishing house Kehrer Verlag Heidelberg published the comprehensive monograph 'Installations' (book and audio-CD), documenting Gal's intermedia installations since 1999.

Austria, but it's been a very long time and it's quite distant and obscure.
