Christoph Reiserer was born 1966 in Wasserburg am Inn, Germany. He studied musicology, music education and philosophy in Munich and Berlin and took private lessons in composition with Stefan Zorzor. He has been producing his own projects since 1998, including “up & down” (2001 at the Deutsches Museum; Munich), “so far” (2003 as artist-in-residence at the CCA in Glasgow, UK) and “fluX” (2008 for the 850th anniversary of the City of Munich). In recent years his work incorporates more and more video and electronics, including the sound installation “tisch” (2005), “U-Musik” (2006 in Munich subway stations) und “tunnel ende” (2010 at Klangspuren Schwaz, Austria). Furthermore he composed three chamber operas: “Und wenn wir dann soweit sind, können wir anfangen“ (2007), „Die Nacht des Brokers“ (2010) and „President Jekyll“ (2012). For the Munich Biennale he realized the concert installation “some work” at the Museum Villa Stuck. He has received several grants and prizes, including at the Leipzig Improvisation Competition in 1997 and the City of Munich’s prize for Music in 2009. Christoph Reiserer lives and works in Munich.
