Tatiana Gerasimenok (born May 5 1992) is a Belarusian composer and writer based in Germany. In her works, she explores the nature and essence of the human being, and seeks to reduce the distance between the piece and the audience in order to establish a more meaningful connection.
Tatiana calls her art a "dose of infernal high" and her multimedia works a gateway to a borderline state, a space between worlds. In her works she is interested in immersing the audience in a certain mental state and concentration in order to achieve occult insight. In this she is assisted by performers who accompany the protagonists of the performance — the audience. Born in Belarus, Tatiana studied musicology at the Mogilev Rimsky-Korsakov Music College and composition at the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory with Yuri Kasparov. She has taken composition lessons from Brian Ferneyhough, Pierluigi Billone, Beat Furrer, Alvin Lucier, Tristan Murail, Mark Andre, Peter Ablinger, Claus-Steffen Mahnkopf, Heinz Holliger and others. Tatiana was a selected fellowship composer to participate in an art residency at Künstlerhaus Lukas (Germany), Künstlerstadt Kalbe (Germany), Kunststiftung Sachsen-Anhalt & Kloster Bergesche Stiftung (Germany), Kunsthof Dahrenstedt (Germany), Kulturstiftung Schloss Wiepersdorf (Germany), Künstlerhaus Salzwedel (Germany), Pyrenees-Mediterranean Creation Residence (Spain), Künstlerdorf Schöppingen (Germany), Académie Voix Nouvelles at Royaumont Abbey (France), Akademie Schloss Solitude in Stuttgart (Germany), EBMF International Summer Academy for Young Composers in New York (USA), Fifth and Sixth International Young Composers Academy in Tchaikovsky (Russia).
