Nils Ostendorf

Nils has developed a very individual approach on his instrument, exploring the wide range between notes and noise by generating frequencies using an extended embouchure technique, different mutes or vibrating surfaces. He is influenced by natural sounds, contemporary music and electronic music. Nils is active in various settings of improvised music, beside The Silencers in a Duo with saxophone player Michel Doneda, in the duo Trigger with Matthias Müller, a trio with pianist Philip Zoubek and reed player Philippe Lauzier and in duo with Kim Myhr and changing guests. He has toured throughout Europe, U.S. and Canada, and played on various festivals like Moers Festival, November Music and Fri Resonans. Nils works also as a performer, composer, musical director and producer for theatre and dance pieces, mainly with the german director Thomas Ostermeier at the Schaubühne Berlin and the Münchner Kammerspiele
