Hannes Fritsch is a sound artist, tonmeister, and educator working at the intersection of music, technology, and space. His artistic practice understands sound not as an isolated event, but as a social, spatial, and cultural process. Shaped by a background in music production and many years of professional experience in theatre, higher education, and independent artistic contexts, his work naturally moves between artistic creation, research, and teaching.
At the core of his practice are immersive sound formats, algorithmic composition, and an ongoing exploration of how digital tools can open up new ways of listening, thinking, and collaborating. In projects such as EKO, a large-scale sound installation developed for the Humboldt Forum, he creates compositional systems that transform historical sound materials, architectural space, and audience presence into open, evolving structures. His engagement with virtual reality and spatial audio systems is not driven by technological novelty, but by a desire to expand musical narration and perceptual experience.
Alongside his artistic work, Hannes Fritsch has extensive teaching experience in both university and school settings. His pedagogical approach is grounded in openness, collaboration, and a strong sensitivity to individual learning trajectories. He understands teaching as a shared process of inquiry, in which artistic curiosity, technical expertise, and social responsibility are inseparably connected.
