   About Mirko Uhlig

“UHLIG PLAYS A FORM OF DRONE MUSIC THAT IS HIGHLY REFRESHING. HE CREATES SOMETHING THAT IS BEYOND THE ORDINARY! For me Mirko Uhlig is one of the better and unfortunately lesser known drone masters of Germany."

(Vital Weekly)

"Somehwere between an impressionist’s field of flowers painting and a dadaist’s love song."

(Tokafi)

"Uhlig is one of the few ones able to cut the oneiric bliss of his creations right in the moment of maximum ecstasy."

(Touching Extremes)

New album "The Nightmiller" on Mystery Sea

Biography

Mirko Uhlig (*1981 in Aachen, Germany) is a German musician and producer in the contemporary field of drone- and minimal ambient music and co-founder of Ex Ovo Records.

He first appeared with surreal sound collages and musique concrète-techniques under the moniker Aalfang Mit Pferdekopf (catching eels with a horse's head) around 2004. After releasing four albums and some EPs (on Aal, Einzeleinheit, Taalem, Mystery Sea and Drone Records) Uhlig decided to release his now much more minimalistic and serene works under a less delusive name.

Uhlig's music is inspired by pioneers of drone and minimalistic music such as La Monte Young, early Tangerine Dream, Brian Eno, David Lynch, William Basinski and current Hafler Trio; echoing the blurred distance of a late Turner painting.

Beside various field recordings, the wooden sounds of an old acoustic six-string, a battered accordion and an original Indian shruti-box build the acoustic sources for the process of composing and letting go.

Beside his solo work Mirko Uhlig runs the Ex Ovo label for "drone music and dulcet atmospheres", founded the Suneaters (together with Tobias Fischer of tokafi magazine) and worked with several artists, such as Dronæment, Emerge, Rostiges Riesenrad and Balog.

Mirko Uhlig currently lives in Bonn, Germany.

Upcoming release 2008:

Supper (new full length album on Italian label AFE Records. Mixing outlandish glitch-drone segments with concrete "rocka progressiva"-one-band-elements - kept quite minimalistic - as usual. CDR. Planned for October.)

GENAU!!!....
Doch alles, was ich bin, ist ein Träumer, ein Poet,
der mit seinen Liedern auf Märchenreisen geht.
Alles, was ich bin, ist ein blinder Passagier
auf dem Schiff der Phantasie.
Und wenn du willst, dann träum' mit mir.

“There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition.”
