Bernhard Schimpelsberger composes genre - defying music that features a unique palette of percussion instruments from all around the world.
Bernhard grew up in Austria, deeply rooted in Jazz and Western classical music, but it was his studies in India that shaped his innovative approach to rhythm and music.
Inspired by his countless travels, he explores rhythm as a universal language which allows him to combine sounds from India, Europe, Cuba or Africa.
He has composed music for orchestras, art installations and several contemporary dance shows.
His unique approach to rhythm creates cinematic textures that are in high by artists across many genres. His previous collaborators are  Anoushka Shankar (sitar), Akram Khan (Tanz) or Gwilym Simcock (Piano).
