Biography
* 26. 04. 1993, from Zürich.
Born in 1993 to a family with musical background, Dominik Fähnrich started to play the guitar at the age of 8. He also developed interest in painting, literature, theatre and the game of chess, although with increasing age, his centre of attention shifted more and more towards music. While attending high school, he discovered the infinite possibilities of individual expression in arranging and composition, two activities, which established themselves as constant components of his life to this day. To broaden his horizon, Dominik later took on the challenge to learn electric guitar and piano.
As a consequence of the decision to follow a musician’s career path, a lot of value was set on acquiring a wide ranging knowledge and a multitude of musical prowess - from singing lessons in jazz and pop, to a variety of performances in rock and pop formations that allowed him to gather valuable experience.
Starting with the studies of classical guitar with professor Anders Miolin at the University of Arts in Zurich, a phase of specialisation on the music of the old masters began, the baroque era in the centre of attention, albeit not impeding his attainment of a stylistically extensive repertoire. Performances as a duo with either guitar or violin, or as part of an orchestra followed, in which his own arrangements were played on numerous occasions.
During the master of arts in music pedagogy, his focus shifted more and more towards composition as his second focal point, in addition to his studies of jazz on electric guitar, not allowing to neglect his development of musical diversity. During this time period, he initiated the realization of his first large-scale project “Transformations”, containing exclusively his own compositions and spanning over 20 months of time.
Further education in composition and the creation of more works followed his studies, while the construciotn of two studios begun, specifically designed as an optimized environment for the composition and recording of contemporary music.
