Siamak Anvari, born in Tehran in 1981, is a composer and sound artist based in the Netherlands. He is active in the field of electroacoustic music, composes multichannel pieces, makes sound installations and collaborates with other artists in interdisciplinary projects, as well as teaching courses and workshops. He is one of the founders of Stichting Azimuth, an organization for production and performance of electroacoustic music inside the Netherlands. He received a master’s degree in composition from the Art University of Tehran in 2009 and completed his second master’s degree with distinction at the Institute of Sonology at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague in 2014. With an audiovisual dissertation on the performance practice of fixed media music, he received his PhD from Leiden University in 2024.

In his music he is often concerned with utilizing space as a musical parameter, inspired by the concept of a Persian garden. As such, the music is conceptualised as a place where the listener can dwell in. He works therefore with various multichannel sound systems and loudspeaker configurations. His works have been featured at festivals including Ars Electronica Forum Wallis in Switzerland, TodaysArt festival in the Netherlands, Slow (36h) at Concertgebouw Belgium, Holland Festival in the Netherlands, Wavespace with Ensemble Musikfabrik in Germany, Continuum Festival at Centre Iannis Xenakis in France, Circuits Festival in Malta and Giga-Hertz at ZKM in Germany.
