About the author

Christian Tschinkel

Christian Tschinkel is a music theorist, composer, and sound director of acousmatic music. After studying psychology, musicology, and electroacoustic music, he mainly deals with theoretical, practical, and speculative areas of acousmatics (see "Acousmonautics"). In 2017, he founded his own experimental space, AKUSMONAUTIKUM, to embark on a "search for the fantastic" in a multi-channel setting. Tschinkel collaborates with other musicians and artists on various projects, including the Temple of Sound initiated by Günther Rabl. Since 2023, he has been a university assistant for music theory of electroacoustic and experimental music at the MDW, Vienna. His research there includes the phenomenology of archephonics.
