Ilya Ziblat is a composer, performer and researcher of music technology and experimental music.

 .

His work combines interactive computer systems and live performance. He uses an ever-expanding set of digital tools including creative coding, audio synthesis / analysis, machine-listening algorithms, real-time processing, interactive computer systems and interface design, alongside graphic and open notation, and playing the bass.

 .    

Language, speech, and the human voice often provide material for real-time processing, allowing him to explores current world issues with a critical ear. His work aims to map social, political and techno-ethical questions as augmented musical narratives. (‘Breathtaking mangled messes … a volatile document of a volatile time’, Jack Davidson, Noise Not Music).

 .

Improvisation is another recurring thread in his work: a continuous interplay between musicians, emergent sound structures, and interactive / autonomous technologies that invite the audience to witness unfolding musical processes.

  .

Ilya regularly collaborates with musicians and ensembles. His works have been played on major stages and in festivals in Europe and other places. He holds a PhD in artistic research from Leiden University, and lives and works in The Hague since 2005. He is co-artistic director/performer at the Hague based CatchPenny ensemble and a member of iii (instrument inventors) collective workspace.
