Alex Mørch (b. 1987, Denmark) is a transdisciplinary composer and artist. His works are typically a mixture of homebrewn machinery in spatial installations, involving human interaction. They are an exploration of the music and life that hides in the machinery, especially when pushed to its limits and connected in inexpedient ways. The compositions reflect a fascination for chaos and randomness contra synchronicity – that everything is connected (or the absolute opposite). Alex Mørch holds an advanced postgraduate diploma in electronic composition at DIEM (Danish Institute of Electronic Music) at the Royal Academy of Music, Aarhus and has also been taking classes at Computer Music Center and School of the Arts at Columbia University, New York..

His works has been shown various places from The National Gallery of Denmark to an abandoned Icelandic fish factory.
