Koncert
»V Ulherijini umetnosti je nekaj, kar jo
dela izjemno zanimivo glasbenico. Včasih si
njeno trobento predstavljam kot nekakšen
mikroskop s kompletom leč, ki zrnato sliko
nepričakovano spremenijo v brokat.«

Tomaž Grom
Birgit Ulher uporablja razširjeno tehniko
zvočnikov, ki predvajajo radiofrekvenčni šum
v dušilec za trobento. Trobenta deluje kot
akustična komora in modulira radijski šum,
kar pomeni da je istočasno opravlja vlogo
oddajnika in sprejemnika. Uporablja tudi
kovinske plošče kot ‘vibrirajoče sisteme’. S
spreminjanjem pritiska na kovinske plošče,
prislonjene na odmevnik trobente, ustvarja
multifonijo in razpršene, razcepljene zvoke.
Poleg trobente in dušilca so inštrumenti na
njenem solističnem albumu Nič več radijske tišine radio in še posebej zvočniki. Tudi na tem
področju je prekoračila meje tako zmožnosti
kot funkcionalnosti zvočnika. Kar ostaja, je
element, ki bi ga lahko še najbolj primerjali z
zvokom tolkal. Ulherijino igranje z radijskim
šumom včasih zveni povsem elektronsko,
čeprav je glasba v bistvu akustična.
Vstopnice: 7 € / 5 € (Vstopnice velja tudi za koncert Izmišljeno bitje.)

Concert
“There is something in Ulher’s art that
makes her a highly interesting musician.
Sometimes I imagine her trumpet as
some sort of microscope, with a set of
lenses that unexpectedly turns a
grainy
image into brocade.”
– Johan Redin
Air, breathe in, breathe out, diaphragm, oral cavity, tongue,
lips, trumpet, reflection, composition, improvisation, sound, silence,
multiphonics, extended techniques, original preparations of the
instrument, room acoustics, digital sound processing, field recordings,

independent and academic scene.
Tomaž Grom
Birgit Ulher uses extended speakers, fed
with radio noise in her trumpet mutes. The
trumpet functions as an acoustic chamber and
modulates the radio noise, thus the trumpet
is transmitter and receiver at the same time.
She also uses metal sheets as ‘vibrating
systems’. By varying the pressure on the metal
sheets, which are held against the trumpet
bell, she creates multiphonics and splitting
sounds. In addition to trumpet and mutes,
Ulher’s instruments on the solo album Radio
Silence No More are radio and particularly
speakers. Also in this area she has stretched
the limit for both the speaker’s capacity and
its functionality. What remains is an element
that could more accurately be compared to
percussion. Actually, Ulher’s playing with radio
noise sometimes sounds completely electronic,
although the music is essentially acoustic.
