Biografía
- Coaxing rhythms from shuddering devices that slap of the emotions of memory, André Uhl transports the ear and mind through a wormhole of cinematic sound synthesis.Based in Berlin with a Masters in Future Studies, Uhl is well-suited to evoke the cryptic visions of our age. Merging viscous audio design with lurking bass and synth lines, his work slides seamlessly through the realms of brutalist music and introspective ambience. Uhl takes the listener on a journey through the hazy past and the twilight of the future that is as intimate as it is crushing. His debut album I hope the roof flies off, and I get sucked up into space. brought together 13 writers to build an accompanying world of short stories spanning the gamut from sci-fi and horror to avant-garde poetry. Pushing deeper through the core anxieties of our current existence, his latest LP Relax and Implode explores alienation with a visceral hand, melding squirming electronics to the delicate element of field recordings—the rhythmic foundation for his most driving and hypnotic work yet. Uhl’s powerful live performances have seen him play at No Moon (New York), Volksbühne (Berlin) and Supynes Festival (Vilnius). His collaboration with video artist Jem the Misfit, the Creatures live AV show, was selected for the Mapping Festival in Geneva, Switzerland and for performances in the Cathedral of Guebwiller in France.
