about
Born: January 5, 1970 Place of birth: Jaljuliya Nationality: Palestinian-Israeli Samir Odeh-Tamimi's musical language is anchored in his engagement with Western European avant-garde and Arabic music practice. Inspired by both European classical music and the aesthetics of new music, the Palestinian-Israeli composer came to Germany at the age of 22 and studied musicology and composition. In addition to his preoccupation with compositional models such as Giacinto Scelsi and Iannis Xenakis, during this time he also returned to a discussion of the musical culture of his country of origin. In the meantime, Samir Odeh-Tamimi's works can be heard at renowned festivals, and he has received commissions for compositions from Deutschlandfunk, Saarländischer Rundfunk, Donaueschinger Musiktage, the European Centre of the Arts in Hellerau, WDR and Bayerischer Rundfunk/musica viva, among others. In 2010 his music theatre work Leila and Madschnun was premiered at the Ruhrtriennale in Bochum. In 2008, as part of the project into Istanbul initiated by Ensemble Modern and Siemens Arts Program in cooperation with the Goethe-Institut, he composed a work for Ensemble Modern inspired by a stay in the Turkish metropolis. He also works closely with the Boulanger Trio and the Neue Vocalsolisten Stuttgart: for example, the singers visited Tel Aviv as part of a commissioned composition for the Eclat Festival at Samir Odeh-Tamimi's parental home, where they got to know the composer's musical roots.
