On 17 September 2016, he recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios (Studio 1) his Concerto for Violin and Orchestra (Musikverlag Ries & Erler, Berlin) with Francesco D'Orazio, soloist and Lee Reynolds, conductor. The monographic album was released by Bis Records and received more than 20 “5-star” reviews from the major specialized magazines in the world, and an ICMA nomination.

About the music

Starting with postmodern experiments in the first period, he after focused on some musical theater forms exploring the possibilities of the voice (melologue) researching various ways in the voice emission with the study of phonemes in many works devoted to the musical theater (Butterfly, Cinque di Cuori, Il Catalogo, Sinforosa, La machine de sons, Comuni-Canti, Les Animaux) along with some influences from his teachers (Azio Corghi and Luciano Berio) about this vocal research.
His output in recent years has focused on large symphonic works for the full orchestra. The Violin Concerto, the Clarinet Concerto, the Piano Concerto, the Recorder Concerto, the Double Concerto for Guitar and Marimba, Drops for harp and string orchestra, Fragile for electric guitar and string orchestra and Dark Clouds for orchestra, represent his full research in further possibilities of the orchestral colors and textures, but also in an organic idea of interconnected and interdependent formal moments and gestures, like a network of neural connections. In the last works, the timbre as color leads to a new idea of "sound-light", researched also with the help of electronics mixed with instrumental sounds (Chaconne, for electric violin and electronics) and thanks to a research of extended techniques also open to the orchestral writing. 
To his interest in astronomy, the goal is to research an abstract "core sound" in a unique and large movement (every work is never organized in separate movements), like eternal cosmic energy of which we are but a small circumscribed point.

Ulrich Langenbach is a German artist and composer, improviser, artist and sound researcher / e-cello, viola, guitar

Ulrich Langenbach is a visual artist and improvisational musician whose work is characterised by a continuous investigation of unintentional aesthetics and interdisciplinary approaches. His artistic practice includes installations, texts and performances, which invite the viewer into an immediate and impartial confrontation with space, material and sound.

At the centre of his visual art are extensive installations that challenge your perception with minimalist forms, materials and structures.

His text works combine literary precision with visual openness and often pose questions around the meaning and function of language.

As an improvisational musician, Langenbach is devoted to non-idiomatic music, a way of playing that moves beyond established styles and focuses on the moment of sound occurring. His performances emerge in the space between intention-free experimentation and intuitive expression, and lead to unique soundscapes that deliberately leave behind traditional genre boundaries.

His multi-award-winning work, which has been shown in numerous international galleries and museums, throws new light on the disciplines of art and music and offers pioneering impulses. It stands for the power of having no intention and for liberation from conventional expectations. It invites you to experience space, sound and text in a new dimension.

A.J. Kaufmann—wandering bard of Poznań, sonic druid of the cassette realm. Born under a vinyl moon during a lo-fi storm, raised by spectral mixtapes and surreal dreams. He’s conjured 200+ albums while debating invisible muses and sipping metaphor tea. Writes like a mystic, sings like a caffeinated oracle. May or may not be part mushroom. Proceed with headphones.

Born in 1957, I was initially a rock guitar player, before I changed my musical way and approached experimental electronic music. Two people have had a decisive influence on my musical path: My teacher, mentor and fatherly friend Josef Anton Riedl (composer and former artistic director of the Siemens Studio for Electronic Music) and the New York based composer, electronic musician and trombone player George Lewis, whom I owe my approach to improvised music. Besides my free musical works, I compose and produce music for theatre and ballet. In 1998 I co-founded the musicians collective 48nord. I have also worked as an author for the music department of Bayerischer Rundfunk, have been guest artist at the Center for Art- and Media- Technology (ZKM), curator of a sound art gallery (t-u-b-e, Munich), and have received a number of awards and grants for my work. Today I work in my own small electronic studio in Starnberg - close to (but far enough away) from the Bavarian capital Munich.
