Eldar Baruch

Hello, I'm Eldar Baruch - a composer, musician, and performer specializing in scores for choreographed dance, theatre, and film.

My practice spans Tel Aviv, New York, and Berlin. I’ve collaborated worldwide, from studios in Paris and Warsaw to stages in Shanghai, Johannesburg, and NYC.

Music and dance are two of our most abstract languages of expression. My work lives in the dialogue between them - how sound and silence empower movement, how musical attentiveness shapes a space, and how a sonic phrase illuminates a physical one. This philosophy forms the foundation of everything I create for stage and film.

Alongside composing, I explore the living relationship between music and movement. I perform my scores for choreographed works and collaborate in improvised dance projects and site-specific pieces, while regularly playing for professional dance workshops and Contact Improvisation (CI) jams.

My musical palette encompasses intimate piano solos, pulsing rhythms, electronic soundscapes, and organic-abstract textures - drawn from keyboards, synthesizers, string instruments, digital environments, self-made samples, and experimental sound objects.

I dance myself, and know firsthand how sound, rhythm, and melody influence movement - how it unfolds and is perceived.

I facilitate sound workshops for dancers, choreographers, film artists, and the public. These range from my signature "Looping Emotions" workshop - exploring attentive listening, sound, and looping - to collaborative movement sessions co-facilitated with choreographers and dance teachers.
