Life

Peter Ablinger was born in Schwanenstadt in Upper Austria in 1959 . He attended the Graphics-HTL in Linz and studied jazz piano in Graz from 1977 to 1982 . He also studied composition with Gösta Neuwirth in Graz and Roman Haubenstock-Ramati in Vienna. He has lived in Berlin since 1982.

Ablinger concentrated on chamber music ensembles until 1994 , after which he also dealt with electroacoustics and sound installation .

Since 1980 he has been working on the "Weiss / Weisslich" work complex, which deals with the various aspects of white noise and uses different media: instruments, installations, objects, electro-acoustic pieces, reference pieces, prose pieces, music without sounds; 36 parts in total.

In May 2012 Ablinger was appointed as a member of the Akademie der Künste in Berlin, which he accepted. Membership presupposes that the artist actively participates in the tasks of the academy so that he will continue to be present in the academy in the future.

Works

Peter Ablinger's work is divided into several parallel series: Pieces 1989–94: 12 instrumental and / or vocal works, from solo to chamber orchestra (for example "Der Regen, das Glas, das Lachen").

  • White / white: installations, electro-acoustic pieces, objects, reference pieces, prose, music without sounds.
  • "Instruments and electro-acoustic location-based compression" (IEAOV): Pieces for instruments and a form of live electronics through which the sequence of sounds is translated into timbre.
  • Instruments and noise: for instruments and CD.
  • Quadratures: electroacoustic pieces, installations, pieces for computer-controlled pianos, ensembles or orchestras; The method of squaring can be compared to the rough rasterization of photographs. The input of the quadratures is an acoustic photograph, or "phonography". Output is a sound that has been converted into another, rasterized sound.
  • Pieces since 2001: multi-part series pieces (for example: "Voices and Piano"), or multi-part works in which different musical genres, topoi, line-ups are combined, for example a note and an instrumental piece, or an installation, an electronics - and an orchestral piece (for example "Altar").
