Michael Riessler

Da Wikipedia, l'enciclopedia libera.

Michael Riessler (Ulm, 1957) è un compositore e clarinettista tedesco.

La sua carriera inizia al fianco di figure di spicco della musica contemporanea, come John Cage e Steve Reich. Nel 1991 allestisce il suo primo progetto da solista. Nel 1992 riceve i premii SWF Jazz Award e il German Record Review per il disco Heloise.

La sua musica è influenzata spesso dalle sonorità delle musiche etniche europee, a cui si aggiungono contaminazioni di musica medioevale e musiche orientali.
