Amnon Wolman is a sound artist and
composer whose work is grounded in a belief that music as
an art form expresses many dissimilar ideas of beauty. He
works in four arenas: sound art, performance sound-art,
composition and collaborative projects. His interest and
involvement in technology and in issues of
time-information guide his work alongside long-standing
interests in the creative process, the relationship
between a performer and an artist, and collaborations.
Various performance organizations, galleries and museums
present his works, and publications of some works, both
audio and text, are available commercially. Among them
Heinz Holliger, Charles Neidich, Ursula Oppens, Harry
Sparnaay, Benny Sluchin, Ensemble Modern premiered his
works, some of which were given awards at competitions
such as at the Prix Ars Electronica and at the Karl-Sczuka
Preis of the Südwestfunk. Among the festivals that program
