Mikroklang is a project by Annette Krebs.
One focus of her musical work is the exploration of new sounds and playing techniques. Therefore she develops instruments and arrangements in which quiet sounds and noises are “mikroskopiert”, i.e. highly amplified by microphones and partly digitally transformed. The resulting new sounds form the source material for her compositions and concerts.

The focus of her teaching is to help others find and work out their own musical listening preferences and forms of expression. She uses techniques of improvisation and experimental composition. She supports the development of original electroacoustic instruments and setups in which sounds are transformed through analog amplification and analog or digital processing.
She has been giving workshops in and outside Europe for many years, and advises and teaches musicians and beginners in live electronics, acoustic mindfulness, improvisation, music electronics (including MaxMSP) and experimental composition.
Since 2020 mentoring, technical and artistic consulting for projects among others by:
- Steffi Weismann ( Support and programming (Max/MSP) of a 4-channel composition for the ensemble Maulwerker)
