Biografía

Entrada en el diccionario New Grove (Bruno Giner)

(b Buenos Aires, 29 Sept 1956). Argentine composer. Carlos Grätzer’s first musical studies were with his father, the composer Guillermo Graetzer, himself a pupil of Hindemith. After winning a first prize from the city of Buenos Aires in 1984, he was awarded a scholarship by the French government and completed his studies with Ivo Malec and Carlos Roque Alsina in Paris, where he subsequently settled. In 1989 he obtained his diploma of electro-acoustic music from the Conservatoire National de Région, Boulogne, and took the IRCAM course in computer music studies.

Grätzer composes instrumental music, electro-acoustic music and works which combine the two genres. He has turned for inspiration to literature and poetry (Bernhard, Juarroz) and to painting (Kandinsky, Matta), as well as to his own experience in the field of animated film, montage particularly. While continuing to explore the basic properties of sound material, his highly formalized music is based on the simultaneity of elements, new relationships between foreground figures and background textures, and abstract forms which move in space and undergo temporal transformation. He has achieved distinction in many competitions, including the Bourges Concours International de Musique Electroacoustique in 1991 for his work Failles fluorescentes, and the 1995 Alea III competition (Boston University) for his work Mouvements, which was revived by the Ensemble InterContemporain in 1997. He has also received many commissions, notably from the French Ministry of Culture, the National Foundation of Argentinian Arts, the Groupe de Recherches Musicales and Radio France.
