OM15: Carla Kihlstedt JpegsDescription
Jürg Frey standing in front of a white board, giving a presentation during his retreat at the Djerassi Resident Artists Program, in Woodside CA., prior to the start of the 15th Other Minds Festival.Jürg Frey was born in 1953 in Aarau, Switzerland. Following his musical education at the Conservatoire de musique de Geneve, he truned to a career as a clarinetist, but his activities as composer soon came to the foreground. Frey developed his own language as a composer and sound artist with the creation of wide, quiet sound spaces. His work is marked by an elementary non-extravagance of sound, a sensibility for the qualities of the material, and precision of compositional approach. His compositions sometimes bypass instrumentation and duration altogether and touch on aspects of sound art. He has worked with compositional series, as well as with language and text. Frey is a member of the Wandelweiser Komponisten Ensemble, and has organized a number of concert series.
