German sound creator Frank Schulte has played in various
ensembles for improvised and composed sound art. He works
with performance artists, dancer, actors and lyricists.
He also composes music for plays, experiments with the
application of new electronic sound generation techniques,
multi -channel sound installations and network performances,
creates sounds, tracks and atmospheres for film and television
works. In cooperation with video artists he develops
and presents conceptual mixed media projects.
"Electronic media allows a playful intercourse
with diverse techniques and styles. The feeling of alienation
and transformation they produce are of interest to me,
as is the application of acoustic ready mades and found
objects within a musical framework"
f.s.
F.S. combines his sound generating equipment into a musical
household of electronic instruments. Out of the European
musical tradition, sound installations, music for unknown
films and in applications for New Dance Culture or musique
concrète he has created noise stories, songlines
and dreamscapes in a very specific personal language.
He has conceptualised numerous intermedia events, such
as SWITCHBOX and THE LISTENING ROOM, in which his selection
of sound arts, ambient music and improvised music, as
well as elements from the electronic dance music scene
are locked together in dense friction.
