Matija Schellander (*1981), is an Austrian composer and improvising musician based in Vienna, mostly using double bass, modular synthesizer, and speakers: processing input, moving air output. Schellanders music is conceptual, but it never dismisses the non-rational, sensual communicational possibility intrinsic in music. In recent years he has focused deeply on music for double bass solo, as well as music for feature, documentary and silent films. His most recent releases are “Wir werden” (God rec 2013) with Rdeča Raketa, the electroacoustic duo with Maja Osojnik, and “Esox Lucius” (Corvo Rec, 2015) in a quartet with I. Duthoit (cl., v.), F. Hautzinger (trp.) and P. Vrba (trp, electr.)
