Guitar Cyborgs

The content on this page was translated automatically.

Jannis Wichmann is a classical guitarist and sometimes crosses borders between different genres and styles. In addition to music for film and audiobooks, he produced his debut album "Konfrontation" (Aliso Records, 2019) with works from the 20th century. On his second solo album "Field Recordings #Guitarworks" (Ears Love Music, 2021), the guitar music is juxtaposed with field recordings, i.e. recordings of special places from nature and everyday life. The project was funded by the Claussen Simon Foundation and presented as part of the Hamburg Guitar Days.

His artistic work also focuses on works for guitar and electronics as well as exploring the works of female composers. The latter goes back to his work at the Sophie Drinker Institute (2010-2021, Bremen), which deals with the field of historical musicology from a gender/women's studies perspective. Following on from this research, he published several articles on women composers of the 19th century and, together with musicologist and guitarist Hannah Lindmaier, developed the website www.gitarre-gendern.de, which was funded by the Claussen Simon Foundation.
