Christian Dimpker

Christian Dimpker is a composer and art theorist with academic studies in Philosophy, History and Sound Studies as well as a doctoral dissertation in Musicology / Composition. Dimpker’s compositions explore unconventional fields of notation. This is enabled by an extensive notation system for extended playing techniques and electroacoustic music. This treatise with the title Extended notation: The depiction of the unconventional has been released by the LIT Verlag publishers. Currently, Dimpker further extends this research to the fields of visual arts, theatre and movement. The monograph Kinetic notations for the visual and performing arts forms the basis of this work. It will be released in 2025 by Transcript Publishing / Columbia University Press. Scores are published by Universal Edition Vienna.
