She is one of the outstanding contemporary vocal artists of our time. She combines composition, improvisation and performance art to create her own form of Gesamtkunst, in which environmentally relevant themes play an essential role. The focus of her research is the continuous and uncompromising exploration of her voice. Ute Wassermann’s singing goes far beyond the human voice and manifests itself in multidimensional sculptural sounds that oscillate between electronic, animal, in/organic and human qualities. She takes this to the extreme by creating a visceral sound space through the use of different types of microphones. In addition, she expands and alienates her voice through the use of bird whistles, lo-fi electronics, resonators, field recordings and objects.

She has been touring the world as an improviser and performer of contemporary music for many years. In the last ten years she has increasingly realized audiovisual performances, installations and compositions for soloists and ensembles.
