Marc Sabat

Sabat's music combines acoustic instruments and occasionally computer-generated electronics, drawing inspiration from ongoing research about the sounding and perception of microtonal rational intonation (JI).

His work is presented internationally in radio broadcasts and at festivals of new music including the Bludenzer Tage zeitgemäßer Musik, Donaueschinger Musiktage,[2] MaerzMusik Berlin, Darmstadt and Carnegie Hall.

[3] His works do not fall into a single personal style, but they generally share a crystalline clarity of texture and a seek to focus listeners' perception of sounding structures into a process of musical 'thinking'.

Other collaborators include John Oswald (composer), Martin Arnold, Nicolas Fernandez, Matteo Fargion, Wolfgang von Schweinitz, and artists Lorenzo Pompa and Mareike Lee.

Beginning in the 1980s, Sabat has also been active as a performer on violin and adapted viola, concentrating primarily on American Experimental Music of the 20th Century, including his own work.

Together with colleagues Catherine Lamb, Rebecca Lane, and Thomas Nicholson, he is a founding member of the Berlin-based JI collective Harmonic Space Orchestra.
