about

Birgit Ulher:
trumpet, radio, speaker, objects

Birgit Ulher began her career as
a visual artist, a practice which still
has an important influence on her
music. Since moving to Hamburg
in 1982 she has been involved in
free improvisation and experimental
music. She works mainly on
extending the sounding possibilities
of the trumpet by using splitting
and granular sounds and
multiphonics.

She is also keenly interested in the
relationship between sound and
silence. On Hochdruckzone she
uses extended speakers, fed with
radio noise in her trumpet mutes.
The trumpet functions as an acoustic
chamber and modulates the radio
noise, thus acting simultaneously as
the transmitter and receiver. She also
uses vibrating metal sheets and the
aforementioned extended techniques.
The internal structure of the sounds
is as important as the the structure
of the piece. You can listen to the
music from different angles by
changing your position and perspective.
