Biography
Tobias Meier is an artist and musician based in Zurich, Switzerland. His current works in the form of solo performances, installations, texts, collaborations, or compositions for other artists make use of various media and often have a collage-like character. As a saxophonist he has been playing improvised music in various settings. In recent years he has been interested in researching collaborative formats and facilitating group processes as part of a creative or composition practice. This work is inspired by his practice as process-oriented facilitator and is searching to embrace a deeply democratic approach in music.
Besides his artistic practice he is working as saxophone teacher and as process-oriented coach and facilitator. (Neben seiner künstlerischen Praxis ist er als Saxophon-Lehrer und als prozessorientierter psychosozialer Berater und Facilitator tätig.)
