Ulrike Haage

Ulrike Haage (born in Kassel, lives and works in Berlin) is a German pianist and composer, producer for radio plays and a sound artist.

During this time she begins to compose and starts playing piano for the first German Female Jazz band: Reichlich Weiblich.

With him, Alfred 23 Harth and Phil Minton, the group Vladimir Estragon is founded, where Ulrike begins to introduce electronic music.

A year later, because of the departure of Alfred Harth, the quartet becomes the trio GOTO, with the vocal acrobatics of Phil Minton.

Between tours and recordings for the Rainbirds and the theatre music group Stein (Katharina Franck, FM Einheit) Ulrike Haage works at theaters in Zurich (Uwe Eric Laufenberg), Düsseldorf (Kazuko Watanabe.

In the next two years, the Goethe Institut of Moscow [6] invites her to tour the cities along the Wolga and Siberia, playing concerts and giving workshops.

Since then, she participates among other projects in the Ring with choreographer Felix Ruckert and musician Christian Meyer, where she plays simultaneously to the choreography happening in front of her in interaction with the dancers.

For the celebration of the 90th Anniversary of the Bauhaus, she performs her radio play Der Kreis ist rot, after the diary of Oskar Schlemmer.

The opera radio play Amnesie der Ozeane in collaboration with Stephan Krass, is produced in 2010, as is the music for the sound-book Heimsuchung (novel by Jenny Erpenbeck).

Also showing at the 2016 Berlinale was the film Landstück by German filmmaker Volker Koepp featuring music by Ulrike Haage.

Alles aber Anders, from Eva Hesse´s journal, is a particularly interesting example; she repeats certain words according to a particular rhythm, replaced by a sound, until exhaustion.
