Rupert Huber

Rupert Huber is based in Vienna and works internationally as composer and musician. Music by Rupert Huber is organized structures, sounds and tones for multiple known and unknown real and electronic spaces: Dimensional Music. The group TOSCA – Richard Dorfmeister and Rupert Huber – has released 14 albums over the last 20 years. TOSCA has performed live with worldwide success at events such as the Coachella Festival and has won Austria’s Amadeus Music Award. Huber’s written music (primarily for piano) explores the architecture of sound by describing a process and a space. He connects this approach of generating scores to his technique of creating objects (paintings, sculptures), distilling the essence of written music into tangible form.

“My music is space. It projects a space and cloaks an existing “real” space. This is how it is with all my music. The piano pieces, the recording medium albums, the sound installations, radio pieces.”
