Georgi Arnaoudov graduated at the State Academy of Music "Pantcho Vladigerov" in the composition class of Prof. A. Tanev and in B. Spassov’s special class of contemporary music. At the same time he attended summer courses directed by B. Ferneyhough (Great Britain) and A. Mayr (Italy) in the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, Italy, as well as the International composers workshops with Ton de Leeuw (Holland). His artistic career started in the beginning of the eighties. At the same time he did research work in the field of musical theory, concrete and electroacoustic music as well as research in the field of ancient and Far-Eastern music. He is author of scientific and theoretical articles in music, as well as of publicist and critical reviews in scientific and musical periodicals, mainly in the sphere of the contemporary arts, the aesthetics of modernism and postmodernism, communications in the music, musical semiotics and the theory of contemporary music. At present G. Arnaoudov teaches at the National School of Music and at the New Bulgarian University.

He was won a great many national and international awards and prizes like the "Grand Prix" of the European Broadcasting Union (1985), the "Golden Harp" prize, the Prize awarded by the International Federation of "Jeunesses Musicales" (1986), the Special prize of the Union of Bulgarian Composers (1986), and the International Prize of Music "Carl Maria von Weber" (1989).

As a composer with a large artistic activity Georgi Arnaoudov is author of a great many symphonic, chamber, vocal and choral works, a lot of compositions for piano, stage works, choreographic and theatrical music, sound installations. His music has been widely performed in Bulgaria as well as abroad - Germany, USA, France, Great Britain, Russia, Italy, Poland, Australia, at the International Composers Rostrum - UNESCO - Paris, at MIDEM Cannes, the Dresden Musical Festival, Wien Modern in Austria, St. Petersburg Sound Ways, Sonorities-Belfast, Musica Viva-Detroit, Musica Nova-Sofia, Apoloniaq Sofia Music Weeks, Varna Summer Festival, Two days & Nights of New Music-Odessa, Lutoslawski Festival-London, Mostly Modern-Dublin etc. His music is recorded on the labels Gega New (Bulgaria) and Concord (USA).

His antecedents can be found in Russian Scriabin, the French mystic/modernist Messiaen, the Franco-American Varèse and, more recently, in the work of the Pole Penderecki and Estonian Arvo Pärt. The influence of composers like Webern and Morton Feldman can perhaps also be felt in the lack of any kind of conventionalprocess or development. This is a music of stasis, a kind of intense minimalism that tells no conventional stories but rather meditates on an idea.
