Over the course of his composing career, Peter Machajdík (pronunciation) has produced a strikingly diverse body of work spanning virtually every genre from chamber, orchestral, vocal and electronic music to multimedia works. He often takes very simple materials and a simple mode of expression, and creates a vibrant and challenging sonic palette. His music, commonly characterised as emotive, imaginary, hypnotic and cinematic, has been performed to international audiences on five continents for over thirty five years and has been featured at festivals including Inventionen in Berlin, New Work in Calgary, Early Music Festival in Boston, LakeComo Festival, Ostrava Days, NEXT Festival, Melos-Ethos Festival, Nuovi Spazi Musicali in Rome, Young Euro Classic in Berlin, Hörgänge at the Konzerthaus in Vienna, Sagra Musicale Malatestiana in Rimini, Bolzano Festival, Sysmä Suvisoitto Festival, Kauniainen Music Festival and Hauho Music Festival in Finland, Audio Art Festival in Cracow, Forum for New Music in Oberstdorf, Contrasts in Lviv, and the Bratislava Music Festival.
