Alex Halka 

Composer & Visual Artist

My aesthetic has an interdisciplinary backbone, creating language that blurs the line between art & technology, mankind & algorithm, between folklore & cyborgs.

I composed the original soundtracks for more than 60 theatre productions, being featured on arte.tv and etc.

My work covers territories like Cartoon Animation, Audio-Visual Art Performances, Art Exhibitions, Live-Sets, Kinetic Sculptures, and music written for Documentary Films.
