Oxana Omelchuk (*1975 in Belarus) studied with Johannes Fritsch and Michael Beil at the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln. In addition to her compositional activities, she performs as a musician in various formations, and her range as a performing musician is reflected in her works. In her approach to existing material, the composer does not distinguish between U and E or High and Low. In her compositions she does not primarily want to create something new, but rather to transform existing, rediscovered material into the present.

 

For several years, she has also been intensively involved in her compositional work with modular synthesizers, which for her means developing works out of experimental trial arrangements and improvisational processes.

 

Since 2020 Oxana Omelchuk is part of the collective Polar Publik, a community of artists from the genres of dance, theater, new music and visual arts, who in their transdisciplinary projects at the interface of art and science address current situations in which the phenomena of power and powerlessness become explicit.
