Mirko Uhlig


Mirko Uhlig is a German artist in the field of contemporary experimental music.

Music

He first appeared with surreal sound collages and musique concrète-techniques under the moniker Aalfang Mit Pferdekopf around 2004. After releasing four albums and some EPs Uhlig decided to release his now much more minimalistic and serene works under a less delusive name.
Uhlig's output is inspired by artists such as La Monte Young, early Tangerine Dream, Brian Eno, Nurse With Wound, David Lynch, William Basinski and current Hafler Trio.

“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.”


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

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