context_page_description: Andreas Paolo Perger is a contemporary Austrian guitarist, improviser, and composer of German-Polish and Austrian-Italian descent. His music, autobiographical in nature, draws from variety of traditional and contemporary influences, such as contemporary jazz, new music, improvised music, and electronic music. Perger uses a variable and open concept of guitar playing, improvising, and composing. He plays the 5.1 Surround Guitar and the classical concert guitar.
context_section_description: The relation between improvisation and composition, adapted for guitar and ensembles is a main issue in the music of Perger.
  Together with the relation between sound and its spatial and social context (installation, social sculpture), it forms the framework condition for the open and variable musical concept, aiming to integrate various subjective musical positions in consistent musical works combining focused musical imagination with open-process oriented thinking.
  The two sketches at the side give an insight in tonal and structural organization of the improvised compositions. An interactive layer is already included in the score of the "Work for Orchestra 1". Process, realization, and documentation eventually form the complete finished work adding a relevant amount of intuition and not calculated spontaneity.
