Birgit Ulher (born in 1961 in Nuremberg, Germany) German improvisor, composer and sound artist based in Hamburg.

Biography

Ulher studied visual arts, which still have a significant influence on her music. Since 1982, she has lived as a freelance musician in Hamburg. She developed a differentiated grammar of sounds on the trumpet beyond conventional trumpet tones and works in the field of new and experimental music. She was a member of the European Improvisation Orchestra and the ensembles UNSK (with Martin Küchen, Lise-Lott Norelius, Raymond Strid), Trio PUT (with Ulrich Phillipp and Roger Turner), and Trio Nordzucker (with Lars Scherzberg and Michael Maierhof).

Since 2006, she has been working with loudspeakers fed with radio sounds, which she uses as trumpet mutes. In this context, the trumpet becomes both transmitter and receiver. Her work with radios is documented on the CD 'Radio Silence No More'. She also works with other objects, such as metal sheets, and has developed her own playing techniques and preparations. Besides material research, she has a particular interest in the relationship between silence and sound.

Her solo work includes pieces with tape feed, such as 'Splitting 21', a collaboration with Michael Maierhof and 'Traces', as well as pieces for sound installations, such as Reveille for the sound and light installation ‘Wake Up’ by Allora & Calzadilla in 2007 at the Renaissance Society^[1] and concert installations like 'Public Transport' and 'Robo Tins' ^[2]. Her composition Bell Miners' Bridge was a commission from the Festival of New Trumpet Music ^[3].

Exhibitions of her sound art include 'Split Friction' at Errant Sound in Berlin^[4], which is documented in a catalog with the same title.

She has given lectures and workshops at SAIC - School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Hochschule für Musik Basel, University of Haifa, Queen's University of Belfast, Area Sismica, Italy and Galeria Mérida, Mexico.

Collaborations with Ute Wassermann, Gino Robair, Leonel Kaplan, Christoph Schiller, Gregory Büttner, Nicolas Collins, Petr Vrba, Jaap Blonk and Felipe Araya. She has received numerous grants from QO-2 Werkplaats (Brussels), Künstlerhaus Lukas (Ahrenshoop), AIR (Mexico City and Krems), among others, and travels internationally with her concert activities.

Between 1993 and 2003, she organized the Real Time Music Meeting festival for improvised music annually in Hamburg. She is a co-founder of the "Verband für aktuelle Musik Hamburg."
