Jim Igor Kallenberg works as a musicologist and philosopher on topics of sound art, music aesthetics, contemporary music, opera and music theater. He moves in the political, religious, totalitarian, and deaf-mute borderlands of the (non)musical. His master’s thesis dealt with musical semiotics in postmodernity. Jim Igor collaborates as a dramaturg and writer with various artists and organs of music and musicology – in written and spoken word, on stages, on radio and on the blog. Since May 2020, he is an artistic-scientific collaborator at ARS:art-research-sound at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz.

In Schöppingen, Jim Igor Kallenberg has been working with Wingel Mendoza on his opera „Akasha“ and studying the connection between Richard Wagner’s Gesamtkunstwerk and revolution.
