Tyler Friedman is a composer and synthesist whose music vacillates between cosmic impulses and analytical inclinations. Escaping the rift between post-club experimentalism and the theory-driven partition of contemporary art, his output spans numerous releases, soundtracks, installations, collaborations and performances and draws on an unwieldy arsenal of divergent references and tactics. His music has been released on Sweden’s Kontra Musik, Arjuna Records, Tokyo-based Protection and Radicant_Editions. In the context of contemporary art, Friedman works to manifest conceptual constellations in sonic form. He has been responsible for the sonics of collaborative projects that have been commissioned and presented worldwide, including at dOCUMENTA(13), Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Manifesta, Cycle Music & Arts Festival and the Yokohama Triennale among others. He is a long term collaborator of the Otolith Group, with whom he has developed the sonics of well over a dozen films and installations.
