Ulrike Brand's focus is on multimedial projects between conceptual sound-exploring, improvisation and performance. In this context she is mainly working with Olaf Rupp, Tomomi Adachi as well as visual artists and choreographers. Because of her experience in performing contemporary classical compositions in the past decades, she can draw upon all the varieties of different extended playing techniques that are used there. She uses sounds and noises as equivalent material, pitch is treated as a continuum and the whole body of the instrument can create sounds. This is also accentuating the gestural element of the performance. www.ulrikebrand-cello.com
