Tamara Friebel's fascination and symbiosis of sacred geometry & composition has lead to the creation of works which bear a strong specific relation to a place. She creates compositions which come directly out of an architecture or geometry, in search for a new haven, a sound world that can immerse the body, spirit & soul. This particular approach transcends the everyday, allowing the past or this ongoing present to be shrouded in new light, much like the Renaissance quest. It is her way of building metaphorical bridges over distances of time, to capture a new Zeitgeist in this moment.

Tamara Friebel is an Austrian-based Australian composer and performer whose work explores the intersection of sacred geometry, architecture, and music. A 2024 recipient of the Austrian Federal Scholarship for Artistic Composition, Friebel was composer-in-residence at the Imago Dei Festival (2022), where her choral work Illuminations premiered and later featured at Carinthian Summer (2023) in the collegiate church of Ossiach, and the recording was released, sponsored by the Austrian ÖstMusikfonds. Friebel studied architecture, sociology, and theology at various universities in Melbourne before pursuing composition at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna and architecture in the masterclass of Zaha Hadid at di’angewandte. She completed her PhD in research on “Generative Transcriptions”, on the role of transcribing scores, imagined through architectural forms, composing and writing from emergent trance-like states, and continues to teach and conduct research in the field.
