Katarina Gryvul
Katarina Gryvul is a composer, sound artist, and musician whose work lies at the intersection of contemporary music, electroacoustic, and immersive forms. Her practice combines acoustic instruments, electronics, and spatialization, with a particular focus on timbre, sound embodiment, and the listening experience.
She composes for ensembles, orchestra, film, and animation, as well as for ambisonic, multichannel, and acousmatic setups. Her works are presented both in concerts and in interdisciplinary installation or performance contexts.
Her music has been performed by numerous international ensembles, including Ensemble Modern, Ensemble Proton, Ensemble Cairn, Kwartludium, and Sinfonietta Cracovia.
In addition to her work as a composer, she is actively involved in pedagogy. She is the founder of Gryvul School, a structure dedicated to teaching composition, music theory, and electroacoustic production, and has given masterclasses at institutions such as Sorbonne and FH Salzburg.
Trained in Lviv, Graz, and Krakow, she has received commissions from Radio France, Présences, Warsaw Autumn, Musikprotokoll, and INA GRM. As a performer, she regularly appears at international festivals such as CTM, Rewire, Ars Electronica, and Nuits sonores.
