​Christian Johannes [he/him] is a Dutch/Surinamese composer, producer and performer based in Amsterdam, born in 2002. He is currently studying cultural musicology at the University of Amsterdam and composition at the Conservatory of Amsterdam under Maya Verlaak, Jorrit Tamminga and previously Wim Henderickx.
 

Johannes is interested in the intersection between the organic and the digital. Through field recordings, sampling and modular synthesis, he works to sculpt sonic environments: places in which music may transpire. He creates sounding ecosystems, where the archaic and the post-modern find fields on which they can talk to each other in strange tongues. What does it mean to liberate a sound? With his compositions, he wants to give voice to the depth and richness of our shared sounding world, surrounding us, enveloping us, meeting new, free beings in the process. His music has been featured in dance performances, theatre and art installations in the Netherlands and internationally.
