Jakob Schauer is a musician, performer and sound artist with an extensive CV of solo and collaborative performances featuring fixed media as well as audio-visual formats of pure electronics, both improvised and composed.
His visually and emotionally evocative sceneries are created by analog and synthetic sources in an attempt to build hyper-realistic atmospheres. Interested in sounds as objects in space and in sonic gestures, his approach to sound is visual, spatial and interdisciplinary.
He has performed at a wide range of city and festivals that include Unsafe&Sound, Klangmanifeste, Lichtfest Krems, Sonic Territories or Playground AV Festival and designed spatial sound installation, multi media installations and art works in virtual reality for various contexts.
His discography includes releases on ForWind, Smallforms, Moozak and Beachbuddiesrecords where his focus has been on music and sound that falls under the contemporary, electro-acoustic, ambient and noise umbrella.
He spends a considerable amount of time developing his music and ideas into a magnetic mix of deep drones, eerie atmospherics and blissful melancholy with a good dash of humour in his surreal and vibrant output.
He is the curator of the concert row „Wow! Signal“ and the annual “Wow Signal Festival” for audiovisual arts.
