Annette
Krebs, b. 1967, studied music and concert guitar in Frankfurt/Main, and has
lived in Berlin since 1993.
She has worked intensively in the crossover area between improvisation and composition,
exploring the possibilities of the prepared guitar with regard to sound, structure,
noise, the mixing of materials, and space.
Various preparation methods are used to produce noises and sounds, which are
then enlarged through the use of sometimes high levels of amplification. The
sound of the amplification and mixingboards, additional tapes, radios and objects
are used as musical material.
She works also in the field of electroacoustic composition, de- and reconstructing
selected sound and noise material. Fragments of noises, of words and sentences
are used to remind, to suggest certain meanings, fusing with the sounds to a
surreal, abstract soundscape.
