Birgit Ulher

Birgit Ulher studied visual arts, which still have an important influence on her music. Since moving to Hamburg in 1982, she has been involved in free improvisation and experimental music. Since then, she has developed her own individual musical language. She mainly works on extending the sounding possibilities of the trumpet, and has worked on her own extended techniques and preparations for producing these sounds. Besides this material research, she is especially interested in the relation between sound and silence and connecting visual arts with music.
