Hunter Prueger

Hunter Prueger is a songwriter, composer, and saxophonist based in Austin, TX. His music has been described as “fascinating and also somewhat nerve-wracking” by Alex Ross of The New Yorker. Taking influence from ambient electronic music and musique concrete, he is particularly interested in textural layering, found sound, and discovering new playing techniques. Hunter is the lead singer and principal songwriter of the Austin-based experimental folk band Middle Sattre.

In addition to regularly gigging around Austin, Hunter has performed at festivals around the world. Most recently he attended Les Écoles d’Art Américaines de Fontainebleau where he studied harmony and counterpoint with Isabelle Duha and performed his piece Silent Moment. In 2021 he was the saxophonist of the Flying Carpet Festival in Mardin, Turkey, which brings music and circus arts to children in war-afflicted regions of the world.

Hunter operates under many different monikers: Middle Sattre (folk music), DJ Yoyo (pop remixes), and Sixsmith (dance music). He also occasionally scores films and video games.
