Anthony Pateras

Anthony Pateras is an Australian composer and musician active since 1999 whose work spans modern classical composition, electroacoustics, piano improvisation, and film soundtrack. Based for much of his career in Melbourne and later in Europe, he has developed a practice grounded in aural hallucination and polytemporality, combining bespoke electronic materials with idiosyncratic instrumental writing that resists conventional categorization.

His piano playing is a distinctive element of his practice — percussive, technically extreme, and driven by an improvisational intelligence that operates within composed frameworks.
