- Yair Elazar Glotman is a composer, musician and sound artist based in Berlin.
Glotman trained in both classical music as an orchestral contrabass player and in electroacoustic composition. His current practice is informed by both of these traditions and employs a range of improvisation, extended contrabass techniques, and a special interest in textural and spatial compositions and combining analog and digital processing.
In recent years, Glotman's focus has been in composition for film and media, alongside regularly releasing and performing his own music. His work for film included working closely with the influential, late composer Jóhann Jóhannsson, most notably writing additional music for "Mandy" (2018) and co-composing "Last and First Men" (2019). In addition, he has worked with composers Hildur Guðnadóttir, Ben Frost, Geoff Barrow and Ben Salisbury, Dustin O'halloran and Hauschka, and others. In addition to film and TV, he has composed for dance performances and Opera, most notably designing the Soundtrack for the Royal Opera House in London's production "Mamzer" (2018).- IMDb Mini Biography By: MW - Glotman trained in classical music as an orchestral contrabass player and in electroacoustic composition.
