Yair Klartag is a composer whose music combines a subjective investigation into the semantics of sound with a sensual exploration of sonic phenomena.

His pieces often deal with the problematic nature of sounds as signifiers and challenge the authenticity of musical expression. He has been especially interested in the perception of continuous sound events and the way repeated listening samples slow changes in sound.
