Mirko Uhlig (*1981 in Aachen, Germany) is a musician and producer in the contemporary field of drone and minimal ambient music, and co-founder of Ex Ovo Records.He first appeared with surreal sound collages and musique concrète-techniques under the moniker Aalfang Mit Pferdekopf (catching eels with a horse's head) around 2004.After releasing four albums and some EPs (on Aal, Einzeleinheit, Taâlem, Mystery Sea and Drone Records) Uhlig decided to release his than much more minimalistic and serene works under a less delusive name.Uhlig's music is inspired by pioneers/artists of avantgarde music such as La Monte Young, early Tangerine Dream, Brian Eno, Nurse With Wound, David Jackman/Organum, William Basinski, current Hafler Trio, Andrew Chalk and Christoph Heemann; echoing the blurred distance of a late Turner painting, set in a novel by Boris Vian.Beside various field recordings, the wooden sounds of an old acoustic six-string, a battered accordion and an original Indian shruti-box and everything else giving sounds build the acoustic sources for the process of composing and letting go. In the dense corner of the room a Japanese bamboo fountain offers some digital water.Mirko Uhlig currently lives in Bonn, Germany.
