Marko Ciciliani (*1970, Croatria/NL) explores his very own path through the new music world. He dares the beauty as well as the ugly, chaos stands next to order. Ciciliani’s music easily combines seemingly contradictory materials giving his composition a feeling of experiment and playfulness, which captures the audience with its surprising turns and changing colours.
Active as a performer and improviser himself Ciciliani more recently gives a considerable amount of control over his work to the interpreters. He provides flexible forms, musical materials that still have to be furnished or compositional guidelines for sections that have to be worked out. In ensemble Intégrales he has found a congenial partner in his aim to create a ‘multiple authorship’ of his music.His music is performed in both Americas, Europe and Asia and at international festivals like the Bregenz Festival, Zagreb Biennale, Gaudeamus Week, Wien Modern, Proms in Paradiso/Amsterdam, Ars Nova SWR, Das Neue Werk NDR, ‘Activa’ of Berlin or the Playground Touch in Bern.
Since 2002 he additionally works for ensemble Intégrales as their sound designer.
