Ganaël Dumreicher (AT/LU), born 1996 in Vienna, is a sound artist and film director. With his audiovisual works, Ganaël has participated in over 50 international film and media festivals and took part in exhibitions at several institutions for contemporary art, such as the Belvedere21 museum Vienna or the Deichtorhallen/Sammlung Falckenberg Hamburg.

In his artistic approach, Ganaël plays with simulation and synthesis. By blending artificial and analog elements, he challenges our subjective perception of sonic, narrative and visual authenticity. Resulting in an aesthetic and mood that is equally disturbing and beautiful, alien and comforting.

Ganaël studied electroacoustic & experimental composition at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna and Transmedia Art with Jakob Lena Knebl at the University of Applied Arts Vienna.
