Edgar Unterkirchner
As a saxophonist and composer, I chart a course encompassing very diverse styles and projects.
With deep roots in the area of improvised music, I use my very personal style to build bridges between different musical directions, people and stories, both old and new.
As a live and studio saxophonist, I find myself on a journey of discovery accompanied by very different people in varied projects.
In recent years, my talents as a composer have taken on more and more of a central role. A wide assortment of rewarding, cooperative efforts and commissioned works have resulted, such as for Manfred Bockelmann – Original Music to “Zeichnen gegen das Vergessen” (“Drawing Against Oblivion,” Gold World Medal at the New York Festivals, Winner at filmmusicfestival Fimucinema/Teneriffa, Gold Medal at "Global Music Awards" in California for "Best Soundtrack" and "Best Listener's Impact"), St. Paul’s Abbey – “The Voices of God"...
