10 questions to the artist
kunstlebenberlin posed 10 questions to me in Juli 2019. They offer a short, iconic insight to my thinking and work.
Here is a link to the interview (german language)
Manifesto.XXI reports about Symboter
The magazin Manifesto.XXI reports about Symboter in March 2019.
Triggered by the release of my early music works of the 80s by french label Alter-K, the magazine Manifesto.XXI reported in a long story (french language) about my music work with many photos included. It is worth having a look at: “Anthologie d’un pionnier de la musique électronique“. The report can be viewed here
Radio plays and reports about Symboter
On february 19th, 2019 my music work “Music for 5 pianos” was played first time in radio at radiopanic in the feature “Indiedrome”. I was proudly introduced as “pioneer of electronic music”, here to the Show.
Also, a week beforehand, on february 12th 2019, my songs “Running” and “Voyager24” have been aired first time, here the link to the Show
Interview in GONZAI magazine with Symboter
GONZAI online magazine did an interview with me about my music and work with machines and robots. Now it has been published online in their magazine with many photos and links (french language, some links don’t work anymore). The interview spins around my thoughts and works with machinery in sound and physical art. I like the somehow funny and dystopic style of the interview text.
Here is the link to the online interview.
Here is an excerpt of the introduction: Après une pause de presque trois décennies, Olaf Schirm – son vrai nom – continue avec le même état d’esprit : d’une part jouer et expérimenter avec ses synthés, et de l’autre combattre les dérives de la machine, la paresse de la pop et le futur surinformatisé qui nous attend. Voici donc son cyber-plan de bataille.
Exhibition “Positions 2018”
At the art fair “Positions 2018” on the occasion of Art Week 2018 in Berlin, I am represented as an exhibiting artist at the booth of Galerie Eigenheim Weimar/Berlin in the edition “Instructions for Action” shown there with my work “THE NOW REMAINS”.
