Wilson Tanner Smith (USA/FI) is a composer, improviser, cellist, and music-theatre maker currently based in Hamburg, DE.

His work is rooted in a sense of Presence and Reflecting: plumbing the various influences that shape a given [place, gesture, gathering, moment], and/or mirroring the alienating, absurd, silly or senseless signals we receive from the world around us—in order to cultivate an awareness of the relationships we have with the people, systems, and structures we live with.

His focus lies in experimental music and performance-making, both solo and in collaborations across dance, free improvisation, and cross-disciplinary projects.
