Born in 1967. Currently lives and works in Vienna. Freelance composer. He integrates space and the electronic and/or psychological projection of musical or tonal content into his compositions. Such dimensional music that Rupert Huber has developed as a musical format is the basis of all his work. Compositions of this format has been commissioned by, among others, Wiener Festwochen(Private Exile, 2004), Centre Pompidou (Sonic Process, 2002) and Ars Electronica (Radiotopia, 2002). Rupert Huber has not only implemented his ideas artistically; he has also applied them to music composed for film (Food Design, Berggasse 19), TV (C.S.I. Miami, Sex and the City) and radio (Signations for the ORF – Austrian Broadcasting Company). Tosca, the duo formed in 1994 by Richard Dorfmeister and Rupert Huber, has released 5 CDs and 7 remix albums over the last 14 years, with total sales over half a million. The original albums are Opera (1997), Suzuki (2000), Dehli 9 (2003), J.A.C. (2005) and No Hassle (2009). In recent years, Tosca has performed in live shows in the USA, South America and Europe, including such prominent festivals as Coachella (Palm Springs, USA) and the Ars Electronica Festival (LINZ, Austria). In 2001, Tosca was honored with Austria's Amadeus Music Award as best Pop/Rock group. Piano music and sound installations in public spaces are among Rupert Huber's main areas of interest. Radio music (Deutschlandradio, Kunstradio), music for media projects (Horizontal Radio, Ars Electronica 1995) and film music (Swimmers in the Desert, 2000) are the fields in which he does most of his creative work.
