Ulrich Krieger
Ulrich Krieger is a saxophone player and composer. He has won several awards and residencies for: New York, Los Angeles, Venice,
Rome, Bologna, Darmstadt and others. His pieces are widely performed by ensembles in Europe and the USA. Krieger's recent interest
lies in the experimental fringes of contemporary pop culture, the limbo between noise, metal, ambient and silence. He transcribed
and arranged Lou Reeds 'Metal Machine Music' for classical instruments. Collaborations include: LaMonte Young, Phill Niblock,
Christian Marcley, Mario Bertoncini, Merzbow, Lou Reed, Lee Ranaldo, Michiko Hirayama, John Duncan, Zbigniew Karkowski, DJ Olive,
Kasper T Toeplitz, Radu Malfatti etc. He calls his way of saxophone playing 'acoustic electronics' and often uses his instrument
as 'analogue sampler' from which he can call his quasi-electronic sounds, which then get processed.
