Ernst Horn (born 1949 in Munich) is a German musician who played a crucial part in founding the bands Deine Lakaien, Qntal and Helium Vola. ==Biography== Ernst Horn studied conducting, piano, and percussion〔(Avantgarde trifft Klassik ). Sächsische Zeitung 09/27/2007 (01/21/2013 ), German.〕 in Munich, Freiburg and Hamburg. Afterwards, he worked as a conductor at the state theatres of Karlsruhe and Oldenburg,〔 as well as a composer and as a pianist for dramas at the Bavarian State Theatre in Munich. He gave up his career as a conductor in 1985 to become a composer and specialist for electronic music. In the same year, he founded the band Deine Lakaien together with Alexander Veljanov, which is most famous project since then. The popularity of this band has far exceeded the borders of the German speaking countries. In addition to his main occupation as musician and composer of electronic music, Ernst Horn composes and plays music for dramas and radio plays. Horn created his own style with structured electronic compositions far away from the mainstream. His first solo-work ''Einzelhaft'' won the Reader Tape Contest of the Keyboard Magazine in 1988.〔Bob Doerschuk: "3rd Annual Reader Tape Contest Winners Edmund Eagan & Ernst Horn" published in Keyboard, March 1988, p. 66.〕 Usually, Horn combines electronic elements with other styles of composition and/or samples. The radio play "Greed Freedom", where the medieval style of a hymn gets connected to spoken word samples, is a good example. It also shows Horn's interest in picking up political and social issues. Another feature that is used here are the voices of children. This element of style is use frequently by Horn as, e.g., on the ''Helium Vola'' album "Liod", or in the piece "Acht", which shows the good sense of humor of this artist as well. In commissioned compositions for the Neue Philharmonie Frankfurt ("Spiegelarien", 2009〔(„Spiegelarien“ - Ernst Horn vermeldet Uraufführung ). Colour-Ize 10/20/2009 (08/14/2012 ), German.〕〔(„Classic Lounge“ wartete im Offenbacher Capitol mit Bearbeitungen und Uraufführungen auf ). Märkische Oderzeitung 11/03/2009 (08/14/2012 ), German.〕) and within the framework of the Leipzig Bach Festival ("B.A.C.H. – Alternative Compositions on Historical Basics", 2012〔(Helium Vola und das Bachfest: Neues von Ernst Horn! ). Colour-Ize 05/31/2012 (08/14/2012 ), German.〕), Ernst Horn combined works of old masters like G. F. Handel and J. S. Bach with his own compositions, which are influenced by 20th-century classical music. Ernst Horn lives and works in Munich. Fellow Municher Rudy Ratzinger (Wumpscut) dedicated a song to him. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ernst Horn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
