Nicolás Kliwadenko (Santiago, 1986) is a composer, computer musician, and improviser specializing in the systematization of creative models that fuse fixed structural frameworks with open spontaneous responses. He also works with unconventional applications of digital technology and their impact on musical practice as a whole. His output ranges from solo works to ensemble music, incorporating both improvisation and traditional notation, with or without electronics.
He is a founding member of the musical collective Taller Ciclo and collaborates regularly on projects such as /POK, MANPAD, and the Sonology Electroacoustic Ensemble. His music has been featured internationally, including at the ISCM World New Music Days.
Kliwadenko studied composition with Cristian Morales Ossio and pursued studies at the University of Chile and the Royal Conservatoire of The Hague. Some of his scores have been published by Cayambis Music Press, and his work—both as a composer and improviser—has been recorded and released on independent and specialized labels.
