Dmitri Kourliandski is a Russian composer, born in 1976, whose work occupies a significant place in contemporary classical music. Known for his innovative approach to sound and a deep interest in the material nature of music, Kourliandski has made considerable contributions to the genre, with an oeuvre that spans chamber music, orchestral works, and electronic compositions.

Educated at the Moscow Conservatory, Kourliandski studied composition and has since received international acclaim, including prestigious awards like the Gaudeamus Prize in 2003. His music often reflects a preoccupation with sonic textures and the physicality of sound production, as evident in his "String Quartet Series" and pieces like "Non-lieu 8." Kourliandski's conceptual angles invite listeners into a conversation about the nature of music, sound, space, and the experience of listening itself. Renowned for his experimental edge, pieces such as "abandoned playgrounds" and "(ob)version" showcase his ability to blend traditional musical elements with modernist and often avant-garde techniques, ensuring his status as an influential figure in the world of contemporary composition.
