Aside from his activities as a composer and installation artist, Bernhard Gal also performs live in concert, mainly using a laptop computer and other electronic devices. He has performed in more than 100 concerts worldwide. His solo concerts are mainly based on works from recent CD publications, e.g. 'Installations' (2005), 'Hinaus:: In den, Wald.' (2004), and 'relisten' (2001), which he takes apart and reassembles in a quasi-improvised, live context. Additional sound materials such as new field recordings or fragments from recent music and art projects are constantly being added to Gal's sound library, hence his 'repertoire' keeps expanding and changing continuously. Gal also works on textur, an ongoing series of audio-visual perfomances combining phonography and photography.

He has also worked in collaborations with other musicians, e.g. in collaborations with Berlin-based clarinettist Kai Fagaschinski and Irish vocalist/composer Jennifer Walshe.
