Jack Burmeister is a composer who is passionate about finding synergy between his work and other forms of media, believing that music should work to heighten the viewer’s overall experience. Inspired by composers such as Jeremy Zuckerman (Avatar the Last Airbender) and Jessica Curry (Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture), Jack uses elements of orchestral, acoustic, electronic, and choral textures to create diverse sonic soundscapes to enhance the atmosphere and mood in any given work. Jack’s previous works include composing music and sound design for Mongrel (2021) at The Victorian College of the Arts (VCA), sound designer for GABAN (2021), and contributing composer to Interdisciplinary Dance Project (2021). His work has been featured in the Grainger Museum’s exhibition of Fabric Culture (2019) and his work has been installed in the Alfred Hospital’s COVID-19 vaccination centres.
