ANDREJ KOBAL - is a Slovenian composer, sound artist, and music-software developer working at the intersection of contemporary composition, electroacoustic music, and digital innovation. He is the creator of the award-winning tools GranuRise and seqMPEror, which earned him third place at the MIDI Innovation Awards in 2023 and 2024.
In his gig named "Šumsko Voče – Soto Voče", Kobal transforms recorded voices and readings into an electroacoustic composition. Using granular techniques, real-time processing, and custom digital tools, the voice gradually sheds semantic clarity and becomes texture, rhythm, and sound fragment. The performance explores the threshold between meaning and sound, creating an intimate sonic landscape where literary thought becomes musical material.
