Enno Poppe is a contemporary German composer and conductor, renowned for his intricate and finely structured compositions that explore the complex interplay between acoustic capabilities and algorithmic processes. Born on December 30, 1969, in Hemer, Germany, Poppe studied composition and conducting at the Hochschule der Künste Berlin, where he delved into the realm of electronic music, developing a unique voice within the contemporary music scene.

Poppe's body of work is characterized by its innovative use of microtonality, algorithmic composition techniques, and integration of electronic elements. His recent releases, such as "Prozession," "Rundfunk für neun Synthesizer," and "Filz," showcase his fascination with texture and timbre, often employing unconventional tuning systems to expand the expressive potential of his music. As a conductor, he regularly leads ensembles through intricate modern repertoire, and his work with the ensemble mosaik, which he co-founded, has been pivotal in the performance and propagation of new music. Poppe's contributions have garnered attention at prestigious festivals such as the Donaueschinger Musiktage, where his forward-thinking compositions have been met with critical acclaim.
