Holger Hiller

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Holger Hiller (born December 26, 1956 in Hamburg ) is a German musician .

Life

Holger Hiller studied at the Kunsthochschule Hamburg , where he met Walter Thielsch and Thomas Fehlmann and recorded his first pieces with them. With Fehlmann, he founded the group Palais Schaumburg in 1980 , in which he was a singer. His solo works also appeared: as one of the first musicians in Germany, Hiller consistently worked with the sampler as the only or main instrument. From 1984 he lived and worked in London, among other things as a producer for Mute Records . With the video artist Akiko Hada , he recorded “Ohi Ho Bang Bang” in 1988, a video in which he and Karl Bonnie created various noises that only result in the piece of music through the editing. This transfer of the sample technology of music to video technology was taken up again ten years later by Coldcut (" Timber ").

Holger Hiller has lived in Berlin since 2003 and teaches German as a foreign language there.
