Wolfgang Fuchs

Wolfgang Fuchs lives and works in Vienna and Linz.
Started using recordplayers as live-instruments in the late 90s after some
intense years playing electric bass in the fields of crossover-rock.
the birth of the improv-duo "das fax mattinger" - together with Alex
Wallner on guitar - and moving from Linz to Vienna right after the
millenium-turn pushed the active and passive experience with "new" music
in all terms.
First onstage-confrontations with e.g. Arnold "noid" Haberl, dieb13, Noel
Akchote, Michael Fischer, Hannes Raffaseder were established, gigs at
several venues and festivals followed, including Kaleidophon/Ulrichsberg,
Konfrontationen/Nickelsdorf, Turning Sounds/Warsaw, Transart/Bolzano,
Komponistenforum/Mittersill, Phonotaktik/Vienna, Saptamana Muzicii
Contemporane/Bucharest, etc.
After years of playing solo and as part of small- and medium-size
ensembles, the introduction to the world of comtemporary composer bernhard
lang opened the doors to concert halls, highlighted by the successful
performance of the music-theater-piece "i hate mozart" together with
klangforum wien, dieb13, vocal ensemble nova, which is documented on a
2-SA-CD and 1-DVD-Box on Col Legno.
Latest co-release has been a double-10-inch-split with Merzbow, Bulbul and
Peach Pit on Interstellar Records (Linz), latest solo-release is a
five-inch diy-vinyl-cutout on entr'acte (London). A Berlin-edition of 20
unique "copies" will be presented and available at Akademie der Künste
during the T.I.T.O.-residency.
Other (Co)Releases include CD(-R)s, Cassettes and Vinyl on labels like
Longbox Recordings, shameless, Transacoustic Research, Klanggalerie,
Einklang Records.
Current projects range from a pseudo-acousmatic shadow-play
(http://turntabling.firstfloor.org/projector/), the trio "b:f:n" (w/
cordula boesze, noid) to the prog-rock-outfit "dada boeff komplex".
