Siegmar Fricke

Siegmar Fricke is a German experimental electronic musician based in Wilhelmshaven. He started in 1981 with tape recorders and shortwave radio signals, building musique concrète collages, and was active in the European tape scene until the early 1990s. Since 2001 he has called his solo work Pharmakustik, an abstract electronic style built on clinically filtered sounds, with titles taken from medical terms. Fricke founded the project Efficient Refineries with the Spanish musician Miguel A. Ruiz (Orfeon Gagarin).
