Frank Schulte

sound & media artist, curator

German sound creator Frank Schulte has played in various international ensembles for improvised and composed sound art. He has published numerous publications on sound carriers and in various radio and television programs. He works with performance artists, dancer, actors and lyricists. He also composes music for scenic plays, contemporary dance pieces and experiments with the application of new electronic sound generation techniques, multi -channel sound installations and network performances, creates sounds, tracks and atmospheres for film and television works. In cooperation with other artists he develops and presents conceptual expanded media projects.  Schulte combines his sound generating equipment into a musical household of electronic instruments. Out of the European musical tradition, sound installations, music for unknown films and in applications for New Dance Culture or musique concrète he has created noise stories, songlines and dreamscapes in a very specific personal language. He has conceptualised numerous intermedia events, such as SWITCHBOX and electronic lounge, in which his selection of sound arts, ambient music and improvised music, as well as elements from the electronic music scene are locked together in dense friction.

Since 1998 he also designs and realizes projects and expanded media installation works for public spaces.
