Ingrid Schmoliner

Ingrid Schmoliner is an Austrian pianist, vocalist, composer and improviser whose work crosses experimental music, contemporary composition and interdisciplinary performance. Her approach includes extended piano techniques, prepared instruments and close attention to the physical resonances that emerge from different playing methods.

She has developed solo and collaborative projects with musicians from the European contemporary and improvised-music scenes. Her performances often combine an interest in repetitive structures and acoustic processes with situations that leave room for spontaneity. Creative Sources documents her piano within experimental ensembles, reflecting a practice that connects detailed instrumental sound, collective listening and exploration beyond conventional keyboard playing.
