Luis Miehlich

hi!

I’m Luis and do things related to music, usually involving computers or other electronic contraptions.
Some of these things happen in concert halls (live electronics, video art, sound & lighting design), others on the internet (ambient & electro-acoustic music).
While I’m still working on expanding this site, feel free to have a look at my Bandcamp or Spotify pages.

some of my pieces and concert projects:

Il tempo perduto (2024) – audiovisual concert installation

Il tempo perduto interprets the music and architecture of early Baroque northern Italy in an audiovisual concert installation, creating new references to historical aesthetics. Developed with early music ensemble Das Kolorit, thanks to a grant by Deutsche Orchesterstiftung.

Re-Cartographies (2023) – audiovisual solo-liveset


Ambient liveset, developed by transforming material from the Cartographies ensemble project. Premiered at a mini concert tour through Japan.

Cartographies – Ein Halbschlafkonzert (2023) – pieces for ensemble, electronics & video

A “half-asleep concert”. Work cycle for ensemble and electronics on oceans, clouds and silence. Quiet music for loud times. The audience is encouraged to doze off and let the music seep into the subconcious. The studio recordings of the project became part of the Re-Cartographies album released on Whitelabrecs.
