Ulrich Krieger

ulrich krieger, composer and saxophonist, cannot be pigeonholed into any one particular musical genre, having a passion for living in the realms in-between and ignoring boundaries.his new album, 236 strings, is a compilation of instrumental ambient pieces and electro-acoustic soundscapes that invite the audience into an aural realm of self-exploration and discovery, two of the pieces are commissioned works by the pianists vicki ray and danny holt. all compositions originate from kriegers nordic, desert and pelagic series and share one overriding theme: humankind in a state of confrontation with more powerful natural forces - be it the desert, the depths of the ocean or an apocalyptic event.
