Michel wins first Brunner Composition Prize
The University of Music FHNW/Music Academy Basel has awarded the Eduard Brunner Composition Prize of 5000 Swiss francs for the first time to Robin Michel for his work "Formen".
With this piece, Robin Michel has simultaneously created a new type of instrument and user interface that, thanks to its innovative concept, creates "the possibility of an incredibly exciting sound generation". Because the instrument can be assembled with the help of a 3D printer, an Arduino UNO and materials from the DIY store, a highly democratic and low-threshold approach is guaranteed.
The jury was made up of: Svetlana Maraš, Roman Brotbeck, Johannes Kreidler and Uli Fussenegger (chair).
