Mahakit Mahaniranon is a Thai composer-performer who plays piano and modular synthesizer. He has a passion for music/art and his multifaceted practice combines performance, composition, improvisation, sound of traditional Thai music and electroacoustic elements into an eclectic but individual musical expression. Never stopping to innovate and expand the scope
of his work has led to a search for a sound incorporating acoustic elements, synthesizer and digital processes.
His extensive interest in music results in works that reject
stylistic boundaries and seek their own identity mixing ambient, minimalism, noise, free improvisation, Thai traditional, contemporary classical music and experimental electronica.
The intensity of his work and his creative process has earned
him many opportunities as a solo performer.
Various ensembles have included his compositions in their repertoire and they are being performed continuously. Collaborating with artists in other fields such as Contemporary Dance, Visual Arts, Film, and Poetry, inspires him. Working with people with different ideas
and backgrounds helps him to develop his own work.
Mahakit Mahaniranon was part of the foley team for the
animated film “Krut: The Himmaphan Warriors”, released in cinemas in Thailand in 2019 and currently available on Netflix in Thailand. He was also selected for the “Call for Artists 2022”
and received funding for a performance by the Princess Galyani Vadhana Institute of Music, Thailand.
In addition, he was selected as an Artist in Residence 2023 at Elektronmusikstudion EMS, Stockholm, Sweden, a studio for professional composers and sound artists in the field of electroacoustic music and sound art.
At the moment, he works as a freelance composer, musician and music teacher.
