Andrea Ermke – Pike
Andrea Ermke is one of the most unknown and underestimated sound artists of the so-called Berlin scene. Self-taught, she has been working with field recording, sampling & hands-on sounds since about 1995. She has developed a very personal and uncompromising style of collage which is more influenced by Australian sound art than Berlin’s reductionists. She has worked/collaborated among others with Tony Buck, Jim Denley, Stevie Wishart, John Butcher, Chris Abrahams, Ignaz Schick, Annette Krebs, Margareth Kammerer, Leonid Sobeylmann, Nicholas Bussmann,... She was member of the groups Guest Star and Cox Orange and currently performs with Organic (w Thomas Charbonnel, Pablo Juanes) and Tree (w Chris Abrahams & Burkhard Beins) She uses simple equipment (Sampler, MiniDisc) to archive rather complex and dense pieces and she is not afraid of incorporating narrative notions. Andrea Ermke lives and works in Berlin.
