Antje Vowinckel
is a Berlin-based sound artist and radio artist. She has been commissioned to do radioplays and sound composition for a variety of public radio stations such as (WDR, DRadio, SWR, BR, HR, NDR) as well as for foreign venues and festivals (ZKM Karlsruhe, Donaueschinger Musiktage, TESLA Berlin, Biennale Bonn, Prix Italia, Festival Alicante, Prix Europa, Tina B, Prag, Shut up and listen, Vienna, Goethe-Institut Lissabon, European Culture Congress, Wroclow, Elias-Canetti-Festival, Bulgaria, British Council, Humboldt-Lab). Her piece Call me yesterday has been broadcasted and presented in 16 countries. Her focus is on the musicality of the spoken word; for example in her project on melodies in European dialects. A number of her works employ fragments of documentary speech, or language improvisation (automatic speaking) which are then transposed into a musical structure. In recent years, she has also created musical live performances for example „organ and objects“.
