Julius Holtz (*1982 in Bremen) is a Berlin-based composer and sound designer. His work explores cross-genre interfaces between technology, acoustic, and electronic music.
Holtz looks at different modes of auditive perception and related cognitive processes. Multisensory music, he investigates by introducing interaction between the audience, visuals, spatial sound environments, and musical form. He is hacking the senses to create unique experiences, imaginative worlds, time, and space for aesthetic perception through thought, contemplation, and meditation.
Julius Holtz often appears on stage as a performer of live electronics. He performs in many of his pieces and has interpreted the music of his fellow composers. In recent years this practice has led to collaborations with Marisol Jiménez, Ensemble Mosaik, and Ensemble Tzarah.
Julius Holtz is a lecturer at the Sonic Thinking program of the Hasso Plattner Institut in Potsdam. He has received funding and scholarships from the Senate of Berlin, Musikfonds, INM Berlin, and the Goethe-Institut.
He performed and exhibited his work at prestigious festivals and institutions. These include Wet Sounds Festival in London, Festival of Future Nows in Berlin, Centro de Cultura Digital in Mexico City, Steirischer Herbst in Graz, Ultima Festival in Oslo, Martin-Gropius-Bau in Berlin, Goethe-Institut in Hanoi, Cannes & Tribeca Film Festival and the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C.
