Info for Alles Licht

A very deep collaboration arose from a joint concert in the University Church in Leipzig. And I was very happy that Ulrike Haage invited me as a guest for her new release. Ulrike composed beautiful music for the unusual combination of piano and organ, which we were able to record in the New Church in Kleinmachnow near Berlin. Here we were not only able to enjoy the advantages of a studio-like, innovative and perfectly designed church space, but also had access to a visionary organ. After all, a new organ was built here that allows for unexpected dynamic shades and timbres in a relatively small space. Ulrike Haage had a Bechstein grand piano placed in the room and we were able to immerse ourselves in the magic of these sound worlds. Now I am very much looking forward to reporting more about this project here soon.

Ulrike Haage
The composer, pianist, sound artist and radio drama author Ulrike Haage is one of the most multifaceted artists in Germany today. She once starred on the piano with all-women big-band Reichlich Weiblich, and went on to join up with Katharina Franck as the core of the highly acclaimed Rainbirds.

She collaborated on genre-crossing and experimental projects with musicians like Alfred Harth, FM Einheit, Phil Minton and contributed to theatre productions in Zürich, Düsseldorf, Hamburg and Berlin. Since 2006 she works regularly with the drummer Eric Schaefer.Ulrike Haage composes and directs contemporary works for films and radio, mostly published with the audiobook label Sans Soleil and the record label Blue Pearls Music. Since 2004 she releases highly respected Solo CDs. Following Sélavy (2004) and Weisses Land (2006), she has released her third solo album (2011) entitled In:finitum. The forth solo album Maelstrom will be released in 2015. Awards + Prizes: In 2003, Haage received the German Jazz Award (Albert-Mangelsdorff-Preis) for her outstanding and versatile life work to date – especially for her musical projects at the interface of pop, art and avant-garde. In 2010 the documentary film Zwiebelfische won the North German Film Award and the special prize for Haage’s soundtrack. Her music for the film Meret Oppenheim – eine Surrealistin auf eigenen Wegen received the Documentary Filmscore Prize 2014.

“Every single tone and sound possesses meaning, every moment of suspension integrates into the structure, every song is a piece of art. What has never been heard departs on a tone & returns on a sound wave, measured in time immemorial and doubled in mirrors. Ulrike Haage brings to light hidden sounds – in the moment and for all eternity.”(Klaus Hübner)
