Christoph Reiserer

Christoph Reiserer was born 1966 in Wasserburg am Inn. He studied music theory and philosophy in Munich and Berlin. A self-taught saxophonist, he explores new techniques of playing and in general everything related to the process of the creation of music, with a particular interest in improvisation and music theater.
He has received numerous grants and prizes, for instance at the Leipzig Improvisation Competition in 1997. He has been producing his own theater pieces since 1998: "Heiss" (1998) and "up & down" (2001 in the Deutsches Museum in Munich). As researcher and contributor to the international project LIST he has been involved in researching new techniques for playing wind instruments and documenting them on CD-ROMs. Additionally, as part of the project "Musik zum Anfassen" he composed and improvised music with children in Munich schools. In 2003 he was artist in residence at the Center for Contemporary Arts in Glasgow.
