Julia Mihály
Julia Mihály (* 1984 in Lüdenscheid , grew up in Iserlohn) is a German-Hungarian composer , singer and performer .
Life
Mihály studied at the Hanover University of Music, Drama and Media with Norma Enns (singing, opera) and Joachim Heintz (electronic composition). Master classes and workshops ( ZKM Karlsruhe, STEIM Amsterdam, Stockhausen Courses Kürten, International Summer Courses for New Music Darmstadt ) complement her training. She received important impulses from Jennifer Walshe , David Helbich, Salome Kammer , Karlheinz Stockhausen , Daniel Teruggi and Jamie Griffiths.
Stylistically she moves at the intersection of new music , performance art and electroacoustic music . Standing in the tradition of technology-based performance, it uses live electronic sound synthesis processes as a means of staging. The computer becomes an interactive chamber music partner and the body becomes a projection surface that can be composed. She deals with socio-political issues of current everyday and media culture and aesthetically combines them with influences from pop culture, trash and anti-art.
Her compositions were broadcast on Hessischer Rundfunk (hr2 kultur), Deutschlandfunk (DLF), Südwestrundfunk (SWR2), Bayerischer Rundfunk (BR-Klassik) and Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR3). Julia Mihály previously worked a. a. together with Ensemble Mosaik , Ensemble Resonanz and Ensemble handwerk.
Julia Mihály appears regularly at festivals and concert series for new music . She has received invitations to the Heroines of Sound Festival in Berlin (Radialsystem V & Berghain), the SPOR Festival in Arhus, the Biennale Musica di Venezia, the Summer Festival at Suntory Hall Tokyo, the Ruhrtriennale , the Soundislands Festival in the ArtScience Museum Singapore, and Zeitkunst Festival in Rio de Janeiro, to the KunstFestSpiele Herrenhausen , the Künstlerhaus Mousonturm , to Hellerau - European Center for the Arts , to Tempo Reale Florence, to the CAMP '13 International Festival for Visual Music in Cluj, to the Borusan Music House Istanbul and to the international summer courses for New Music Darmstadt .
In 2012 she founded the electronica duo CLUBbleu together with composer and drummer Felix Leuschner, with whom she released the album DARK ~ asian ~ ENERGY [singa ~ core album] on the Gruenrekorder label in 2016 and performed internationally until 2017.
