Damian Barbeler is an award-winning composer and multimedia artist recognised for his inventive and multifaceted nature-inspired creations. His visually-influenced style, derived from the practice of composing during field trips in the bush, brings a raw and unvarnished honesty to the colours and textures of the Australian landscape: from oppressive harshness to intoxicating beauty and everything in between. Barbeler lectures in Composition and Music Technology at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, University of Sydney.
