Peter Kutin works with sound, space and perception, exploring their compositional possibilities and the ways in which they intersect. His practice is characterised by blending music / sound with image, sculpture, light, kinetic art or video – an in-depth exploration of the interdependence and interaction of auditory and visual stimuli that has expanded his artistic territory far beyond music. This has resulted in a diverse body of work encompassing experimental films, multimedia scenarios, kinetic sculptures and stage performances.
In 2027, his debut feature film, The Sound of Musick [sic!], is slated for completion.
Kutin received numerous awards, scholarships and residencies. In 2019, his kinetic sound-sculpture Torso#1 was honoured with the Prix Ars-Electronica. In 2016, along with the composer Christina Kubisch and his long time collaborator Florian Kindlinger, he received the esteemed Karl-Szucka award for the composition Desert Bloom. He received a scholarship for composition by Austria’s department for culture and arts in 2023 and was an Artist in Residence at WIELS center for contemporary art in Brussels in 2026.
Kutin composed scores and sound-environments for several arthouse-film productions, many of which premiered and received accolades at some of the world’s most significant film festivals.
Critic’s have described Kutin’s work as ’undeniably effective’ (The Wire Magazine), and ’not only good but important’ (A closer listen). He is a founding member of the label Ventil-Records, the concert series Velak-Gala (platform for experimental music), the RealDeal Festival and the ’sonic-laboratory‘ Westbahnstudios in Vienna.
He lives between Vienna and Brussels.
