Margherita Brillada is a sound artist, radio maker, and researcher currently pursuing her PhD at the Academy of Creative and Performing Arts (ACPA) at University of Leiden with a practice-oriented research project entitled 'Re-thinking Radio Art: Community Radio and WebRadio.' She serves as a research associate and external teacher at the Institute of Sonology at the Royal Conservatoire of The Hague, part of the University of the Arts The Hague. Her work bridges artistic practice and academic research through initiatives like BUG Radio and the On Air - On Site Radio Art Festival. Brillada's research focuses on re-conceptualizing radio as an exhibition space for experimental sound art, exploring the socio-political dimensions of radio as a medium that connects communities. Her practice involves field recording, soundscape composition, and the creation of immersive listening experiences that bring attention to current social themes. She pays particular attention to the urban soundscape and the anthropogenic presence in public spaces, emphasizing the role of the disembodied and acousmatic voice in the electroacoustic context. Her recent artistic output shows a consistent exploration of radio as both medium and message, with projects spanning sound walks, radio operas, electroacoustic compositions, and community-based sound initiatives. These works demonstrate her commitment to investigating the boundaries between physical and virtual spaces, abstraction and storytelling, and individual expression and community engagement. Konrad Boehmer Prize (2021) for Master's thesis 'Radio Art as an Expression of Social Relatedness' As a researcher and educator, Brillada has conducted workshops at the Institute of Sonology and various international festivals, sharing her expertise in radio art practices. Her work with community radio projects highlights her belief in radio's potential as a public-social space for artistic engagement and community connection. Through her multifaceted practice, she continues to explore how sound and radio can serve as tools for social reflection, community building, and artistic innovation.

He maintains what he describes as 'stylistic ambivalence,' working with both tonal harmony and dissonant sharpness without preference for either approach. His work aims to be immediately accessible despite its complexity and uncompromising nature, while still exploring new artistic spaces and contents. He is particularly known for his COM.MEDIA project based on Dante Alighieri and his collaboration with artist Kurt Hofstetter on 'supersymmetric composition technique.' His recent compositions demonstrate a strong trend toward interdisciplinary work at the intersection of visual art and music, with many pieces created specifically for gallery or museum contexts in collaboration with visual artists, especially Franz West. There's also a notable focus on adapting literary and historical texts into musical form, with works based on Dante, Arthur Schnitzler, and Austrian political history. Technologically, his work increasingly incorporates electronic elements and novel compositional techniques like the supersymmetric approach. Mautner has received numerous awards for his work: Staatsstipendium für Komposition (1985) Prix du Centre Acanthes (1982) Silver Bear at the Berlin Festival in the youth film/music category for 'Tunnelkind' (1990) 1st prize in the Mozart composition competition of the City of Vienna/Austro Mechana (1991) Förderungspreis des Landes Salzburg (1994) Mautner has supervised numerous composition students throughout his career, particularly during his tenure as Head of the 'Applied Composition' course at the Mozarteum University from 1994-2005 and his current role teaching Project Oriented Composition since 2015. His work has been supported by significant commissions from prestigious organizations including the Mozarteum Foundation, European Parliament, Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde Wien, ORF, Museum Moderner Kunst Wien, École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts Paris, Kunsthaus Bregenz, Wiener Festwochen, Rabenhof Theater, and the City of Salzburg. He collaborates extensively with various ensembles and institutions, most notably the Merlin Ensemble Wien and the Konzett Gallery Vienna where he directs the KonzettKonzeptKonzert series. His current work includes the 'Supersymmetric Music' project with Kurt Hofstetter, which generates musical sequences through rotations of the space-time axis of a dot matrix corresponding to tones and durations, representing a novel approach to composition that moves beyond conventional patterns.
