——————
Annette Krebs has worked extensively in the crossover area between improvisation and composition, exploring the possibilities of the prepared guitar with regard to sound, structure, noise, the mixing of materials, and space. Various preparation methods are used to produce noises and sounds, which are then enlarged through the use of sometimes high levels of amplification. The sound of the amplification and mixing boards, additional tapes, radios and objects are used as musical material.
Krebs was a member of the groundbreaking post-minimalist creative ensemble Phosphor, and has collaborated with Keith Rowe, Sachiko M, Kaffe Matthews, Robin Hayward, Toshimaru Nakamura, Taku Sugimoto, and many others.
“Annette Krebs has propelled herself into the front rank of guitar improvisers.” — Clive Bell, The Wire
“When the guitar, tape, acoustics melt into each other it’s a joyous thing.” — Stylus Magazine review of Annette Krebs’ “Guitar Solo”
