Georg Nussbaumer was born in Linz, Austria and lives in Vienna.
He frequently works with musical instruments expanded into installations, regularly employing diverse organic and inorganic materials as well as machines, video or living animals. The scores to what are usually full-length works define a process that is manifested in a plastic event, acoustically and visually, and that is sometimes also tactile or olfactory.
Nussbaumer realised projects for venues like Opera Bielefeld 2002, Donaueschinger Musiktage 2003/2010/2013, Wien Modern 2005, Steirischer Herbst 2006/2014, Nationaltheater Mannheim 2006/2007, Maerzmusik Berlin 2007, Bregenzer Festspiele - Kunst aus der Zeit 2009, Mittelfest Cividale 2015, KunstFestSpiele Herrenhausen 2011/2015, Ring Festival Los Angeles 2010, pèlerinages Kunstfest Weimar 2013, Festival of Dialogue of Four Cultures Łódź 2009, radialsystem Berlin 2011, Opera Dagen Rotterdam 2012, soundscape Vilnius 2009, operadhoy Madrid 2014, rainy days Luxembourg 2016.
