Available to hire
Hi, I’m Konrad Kinard, a multi-disciplinary music composer and intermedia producer with over twenty years of experience in composition, sound design and music production. My work spans theatre, film and contemporary dance, blending extended performance techniques, unusual instrumentation, electronic manipulation, and traditional instrumentation. I have also taught at university level across contexts of multimedia, sound design and music technology.
I’ve led production facilities and collaborated with artists in New York, London, and Berlin, producing and engineering across genres from jazz to opera. My recent projects include War Is Family, a multimedia performance and sound installation, and I am excited to explore game soundtracks and bring a broad, exploratory skill set to interactive media.
