Heribert Friedl:

Born in Feldbach/Austria
lives and works in Vienna
University of Applied Art in Vienna
1999 prize-winner of the Neue Galerie Graz

"Heribert Friedl follows the kind of minimalist
aesthetics that works with a few sounds, small
events, nearly imperceptibl movements.
Despite seeming simple, this is a very delicate
kind of music: each and every sound bears
enormous significance and have to bear the
responsibility for the whole work.
Friedl lives in Wien, and studied sculpture at the
University of Applied Arts there. In his exhibitions
he has been working with scents and its non
visual phenomenons in combination with sounds.
Since 1998 he plays music in solo or with artists
like John Norman (Radian) and Bernhard Günter
(who is probably the most well-known figure in
this kind of minimalist music). Besides digital
sounds and field recordings he's been using (treated)
sounds of cymbalon in his recent works.
After more mp3-releases and albums on labels
trente oiseaux (that of Günter) and and/OAR he
founded his label nonvisualobjects with
Raphael Moser in 2005. The label releases works
by such renowned minimalist artists as Steve Roden,
Richard Chartier, Roel Meelkop, Bernhard Günter,
among others.“
