Biography
* 12. 04. 1955.
Alfred Zimmerlin was Born in Zurich and raised in Schönenwerd in canton Solothurn. After attending the "Aargauische Kantonsschule Aarau", he studied musicology and ethnomusicology under the tutelage of Kurt von Fischer and Wolfgang Laadeat at the University of Zurich, theory under Peter Benary, and composition under Hans Wüthrich and Hans Ulrich Lehmann. He participated at the "Internationalen Ferienkursen für Neue Musik" in Darmstadt and has been a co-worker for the Workshop for Improvised Music (WIM) in Zurich since 1980. In 1982 and 1984, Zimmerlin was awarded sabbatical years in conjunction with a residency in Paris by the "Aargauischen Kuratorium". In 1986 he received the music prize of the C. F. Meyer Foundation and was awarded a sabbatical year for composition by the city of Zurich in 1988. In 1999 he was awarded another sabbatical year by the "Aargauischen Kuratorium" and was invited by Pro Helvetia in 2001 to participate in their Cairo residency programme. In 2005 he received the "UBS Kulturstiftung" award. He has been a lecturer in improvised music at the Basel University of Music's Music Academy since 2010.
Alfred Zimmerlins' already substantial work catalogue contains pieces for piano, chamber music (with and without live-electronics), vocal music, orchestral music, music for theatre and works for radio and film. His key works include: "Gezeiten der Zeit" for string orchestra, "Cueillis par la mémoire des voûtes" for saxophone quartet and string orchestra, the chamber opera "Euridice singt", three string quartets, the "Neidhartlieder" for soprano and four Renaissance recorders, the "Cembalo-Buch", "In Bewegung (Nature Morte au Rideau)" for piano, string orchestra and playback CD, "Weisse Bewegung" for violoncello, piano and percussion, the Quintet for Clarinet and String Quartet and "Zerstreut in Arbeit mit Wörtern" for soprano, piano and playback CD.
Alfred Zimmerlin is also an improvising musician (cello) and has performed with numerous formations in Europe and the USA. He is a member of the trio 'KARL ein KARL', a composer's collective and improvisation trio (together with Peter K Frey and Michel Seigner) that has remained in its current formation since its inception in 1983. A characteristic feature of the collective lies in the fact that all compositional decisions are taken together and responsibility carried by each member equally. There exist numerous recordings of Zimmerlin's work together with 'KARL ein KARL' and as an improvising musician.
