Anthony Pateras (b. 1979, Naarm/Melbourne) is an Australian composer, pianist and electronic musician. He works across many contexts: modern classical, acousmatic diffusion, film soundtrack, free improvisation, experimental rock, and various mutations of electronica.

Performing hundreds of concerts worldwide, Pateras co-founded the Pateras/Baxter/Brown & North of North trios, the piano-drums grindcore duo PIVIXKI, the electro-acoustic ensembles Thymolphthalein & Twitch, the abstract hip-hop quartet Beta Erko, and the experimental rock bands Sulla Lingua & tētēma.

Completing a PhD in 2008, he’s written for leading ensembles & avant-garde musicians, composing a 90+ catalogue of pieces which combine instruments, electronics, improvisation and notation in idiosyncratic ways.

Pateras has over 50 releases on international labels including Tzadik, Editions Mego, Ipecac, Another Timbre, Futura Resistenza, Shelter Press, Cave 12 and Improved Sequence. From 2012-19, he produced & edited his own Immediata text/music project.

Anthony has lived in Melbourne, Perth, Brussels, Sydney, Berlin, Stuttgart & Vevey, and is now based in Castlemaine, Australia.
