Full [Bio]
Grgur Savić (b. 1983) is a Berlin-based artist-composer working at the intersection of sound, visual art, performance, and technology. His practice investigates systems of interaction in experimental acoustic and electro-acoustic environments, combining composition, improvisation, graphic notation, artistic research, and interdisciplinary performance.
Through projects involving prepared saxophone, graphic scores, live electronics, spatial sound, and performative installations, he explores relationships between image, sound, movement, and collective listening. His work frequently engages with open forms, non-linear structures, and alternative modes of musical communication, treating notation as a compositional, performative, and visual medium.
Alongside his performative practice, Savić develops material-based works using found objects, discarded texts, and graphic processes, transforming them into hybrid visual and sonic artifacts. Recent projects include the ongoing Night of Graphic Scores series, the graphic score Book Project, and collaborative works involving orchestral, electro-acoustic, and interdisciplinary performance contexts.
His work has been presented internationally through performances, exhibitions, residencies, and institutional collaborations, including the RSB – Radio Symphony Orchestra Berlin (DE), TENOR – International Conference on Technologies for Music Notation and Representation in Vienna (AT), ISEA – 31st International Symposium on Electronic/Emerging Art in Dubai (AE), Trans Traditionale Festival, Radialsystem, Berlin (DE), STOPover Residency – Alte Münze, Berlin (DE), 31st Music Biennale Zagreb (HR), Sonic Matter Festival, Zürich (CH), Kanazawa International Experimental Music Festival (JP), the 60th Silk Road International Art Festival in Xi’an (CN), and Deutschlandfunk Kultur (DE), among others.
