biography

Uwe Rasch studied at the University of Bremen , at the University of Art and Music Bremen, and as a guest in Rolf Riehm's composition class in Frankfurt . He was a lecturer and scholarship holder at the University of Bremen and for several years freelance at Radio Bremen . Uwe Rasch is co-founder and employee of the project group new music (pgnm) and member of the artist group stock11 . Uwe Rasch's works are characterized by audio-visual connections and scenic moments. Rasch develops sound images through different correspondences between body, body movement and sound; often in collaboration with dancers, filmmakers, actors and musicians.

"When he begins a piece, Uwe Rasch creates unusual situations in which the interpreters have to find their way. The pianist has to play with his head, the drummer's shoes are nailed to the stage floor, a dancer is hung by their feet. Then actions follow from which the musicians create very idiosyncratic soundscapes, because Uwe Rasch starts with the body. The composer, who was born in 1957, has something uncontrollable about it. This leads to events and sound phenomena that are to a certain extent incalculable it's exciting, because we are entering new spaces of experience for seeing and hearing. "

(Hanno Ehrler, Deutschlandfunk)
