BIOGRAPHY

The musician and artist Tobias Meier, born 1984 in Zurich, searches in his artistic practice for condensation points or singularities where something emerges. In his works it is usually not about what is, but about the imperfection, the imprint, or the shadows, where a smallest something can be assumed. Thus, all material (any medium) is surplus and always just an example of something that is not there or at least not visible - always a "somewhere there".

TM was an active part of the Swiss jazz scene as a saxophonist for many years starting in 2005. After intensive involvement with free improvised experimental music and numerous releases and tours in the US and EU, his interest turned more and more away from instrumental and compositional craft towards a conceptual engagement with the world. His current works in the form of solo performances, installations, texts, collaborations, or compositions for other artists make use of various media and often have a collage-like character. They are quieter, less visible, but all the more profound and sometimes even poetic.
