Biography

Guy Ben-Tov is an Israeli-born composer-performer and video artist, currently living and studying in Austria. The conflict between the absolute power bestowed upon the artist (composer/director) and the need of collaborators (performers/actors) to achieve an artistic vision is currently a fundamental element of his aesthetic and moral approach to artmaking. Exploring a wider definition of the relationship between performer and composer, in 2018 he formed Ungrateful Ambassadors, a composer/performer duo with Mathilde Vendramin.

He is currently finishing his Master’s degree in Composition and Music Theatre at the University of the Arts Graz under Prof. Beat Furrer and Bernhard Lang. In various workshops, festivals and other musical activities he has had the opportunity to study with Mark Andre, Matthew Shlomowitz, Dimitra Trypani, Jennifer Walshe, Klaus Lang, Hannes Seidl, Rebecca Saunders, Milica Djordjević and Marco Blaauw. His pieces have been performed at numerous festivals in Israel, Turkey, Germany, Austria, Greece and Italy.
