Heidrun Schramm is a Berlin-based media artist and composer, who works in the fields of electroacoustic music, installation, radio art and video. In 2002, she initiated her ongoing project Sonata Rec, which is focussed on solo performances. In Sonata Rec concerts, the treatment and combination of improvised and pre-produced sound structures are reffering to the specific space and given atmosphere, in order to create a unique situation. Everyday objects, like kitchen devices, are often employed, as well as pre-produced video works and self-made instruments.
"Sonata Rec" is not a label (as the name might suggest), it is a reference to compositions on basis of recorded sounds by using sonata form.
Recently, Heidrun is developing a series of conceptual installation works, in which her arrangements of abstract and concrete sounds are given a new context; the compositional approach is even more spatial, and site specific, than in her solo performances. This includes pure audio installations as well as works employing non-alienated “concrete” video images, that appear highly abstract.
She holds a master degree in Sound Studies at the University of the Arts, Berlin.

(D)(B)(H) - "not all girls just wanna have fun" c40 TAPE "skirting the line between commune-psych excess(es - i’m implicitly
reminded of the swedish early 70s wave - international harvester, et.al
- but also contemporary hydra-headed beasts like sapat) & a kind of
desultory group-mind version of the freewheeling fire music, this music
takes in a lot of disparate influences yet stays on target
throughout... this tape features a bunch of shorter tracks; each living
it’s own fidelity/soundworld, each edited to provide the “meat” of each
given session / lineup without too much in the way of “filler”;
something a rarity in these days of endless “fill the void”
documentation... free and focused extended-jams courtesy of this rag-tag collective from bloomington, indiana. recorded in 2007
& 2008, involving: justin rhody, clare hubbard, keith wright, jail
flanagan, jeff witscher, dave easlick, tricky matt, kray fanny, greg
blakemore, dorey fox, chris barth and more. recorded live (no
