Julian Skar (born 1981) is a Norwegian composer and multi-media artist.[1][2][3][4]

Career

Skar studied composition at the Norwegian Academy of Music with Asbjørn Schaathun, Rolf Wallin and Ivar Frounberg. Skar has also studied composition at the Universität der Künste in Berlin with Daniel Ott and Wolfgang Heiniger, focusing on new technology and music theatre. Skar has also studied piano and composition at the Grieg Academy in Bergen.[5]

Skar’s compositional output includes a number of works within electronic music and music theatre.
