Dirk Johan Stromberg | Academic Leadership & Faculty at LASALLE Singapore
Senior Lecturer, Audio Production

Dirk Johan Stromberg

dirk_johan_stromberg
  • Master of Music in Composition, Brooklyn College, US
  • Bachelor of Music in Composition, Texas Tech University, US

Dirk Stromberg specialises in creative technology and multidisciplinary performance and production. His research focuses on live production, improvisation, human engagement in technologically mediated music-making and the development of hybrid electroacoustic instruments. He has presented his work internationally at NIME, IEEE, ICMC, NowNet Arts Conference, and Moers Festival, with performances across the US, Europe, Asia and Australia.

Dirk’s artistic practice treats improvisation as both a compositional method and a philosophical approach, drawing influence from Anthony Braxton, Evan Parker and Peter Brötzmann. His performances investigate emergent sonic ecologies through real-time interaction, extended techniques and open-form structures. He designs and builds instruments such as the Fryprone, Strombophone and Phallophone—lightweight, versatile tools that expand expressive potential and embody open-source principles.

An active performer and collaborator, Stromberg is a founding member of several ensembles, including Telepæsants (with Michal Seta), Davilakn (with Mahakit Mahaniranon), Lore of Ghosts (with Tim O’Dwyer), Scirk (with Scott Wilson) and Classism (with Paul Tiavongsuvan). His discography includes Borderless Field, Primitive Touch, and Images of Ascension, reflecting a practice grounded in experimentation, distributed performance and digital luthieries.

Dirk was the former Head of Music at the School of the Arts, Singapore, and was previously  on the teaching faculty at Istanbul Bilgi University. He was a co-founder and co-director of the Duong Dai Festival in Vietnam.
