"My name is Hannah Lena Rebel and I was born in Vienna. When I was three years old, I very intuitively composed my very first piece of music, "The dying flower". But then my path lead me through a professional ballet career at the Vienna State Opera and the MUK university before I finally came back to music. At first, I studied composition and conducting at Prayner Conservatory and then went to MDW. In January 2022 I've got my first diploma in composition at MDW and now I'm studying media composition and film scoring there.
My musical style somehow connects two entities which are today often seen as opposites: My music has an intellectual background and is tonal (or free tonal) at the same time. I see this as my way to combine the emotional and the mental aspect in my music. I'm inspired by minimalists as Philip Glass, intellectuals like Erik Satie, Georges I. Gurdjeff, Arvo Pärt and choir-composers like Morten Lauridsen and Eric Whitacre. My compositions often describe analogies or riddles and I sometimes set (ancient) texts or poems to music. I also like to compose pieces for big band and bring out a new spectrum of jazz, and I love film scoring."
