SEBASTIAN LEXER
Genres: Jazz Related Improv, Composition • United Kingdom

Sebastian Lexer (b.1971) A fascination in contingency of sound has been the basis for Sebastian’s developments in extended piano techniques and a further exploration of modified sonorities derived from the acoustic piano using real-time computer processes. The resulting performance system piano+ has equally developed from a persistent interest in free improvisation and contemporary experimental music. The piano studies and continuing collaborations with John Tilbury and the association to Eddie Prévost’s improvisation workshop were influential to the development of his musical style: a musical journey through the spaces “in between”, the relationship to the instrument, sonorities and textures, musical processes, technology and most importantly: fellow musicians. Having been active in the London as a performer and promoter of free improvised music over the past 9 years, numerous collaborations have emerged resulting in concerts and radio broadcasts in the UK, France, Germany, Hungary, Spain, and Canada. from last.fm
