Allgemeine Information

Geburtsjahr:  1959
Geburtsdatum:  15. März 1959

Until 1994, Ablinger's compositional focus was on soloist chamber music instrumentation up to 25 instruments, such as "Der Regen, das Glas, das Lachen" and basically summed up his works. While his pieces unfolded in several parallel work cycles in the following years - working with instruments and electro-acoustic (often in cooperation with programmers and studios, such as the IEM Graz etc.), or the work complex "Weiss/Weisslich", which includes instrumentals, installations, objects, recordings, hints and prose, are characteristic -, he has been creating four-part series pieces (e.g.: "Voices and Piano"), or networks with multiple elements combining various musical genres, Topoi, instrumentations, such as a hint and an instrumental or an installation, an electronic and orchestra piece (e.g.: "Altar" or the city opera "opera/Werke"), since 2001.

Pressestimmen

22. October 1997

The complexity of listening: this was also the subject in some sort of philosophical sound exercise [...] and his exciting piece "IEAOV", a study, a test arrangement of sounds [...] - the most interesting piece of this year's Donaueschinger Musiktage? Some thought so.

Süddeutsche Zeitung (Wolfgang Schreiber)

1997

- and we cannot be sure: is it real or is this impression in our ears, created in our heads. A lasting experience.

NMZ (Reinhard Schulz)

9. February 2001

A giant universe, hardly comprehensible in its sense, opens up in front of the recipient so that his ears cannot be open wide enough in order to perceive all the layers simultaneously.

Wiener Zeitung (Alfred Pranzl)

21. October 2003

There was no lack of resentment and rejection, when the Austrian [...] performed his "Komplementäre Studie" for cello and noise. It has never been so clear than at this weekend that we do not know what we mean when we talk about music these days.

Tageszeitung Berlin (Björn Gottstein).
