Steffen Krebber
Comment: The four references appear to be three program listings, which are primary sources, and a single book review, which is not enough to meet WP:NAUTHOR. Devonian Wombat (talk) 12:31, 17 May 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: What is needed to establish notability is significant coverage in fully independent verifiable published reliable sources. For example, newspapers, academic journal articles, music magazine reviews. There should be several of these. The sources that are non-independent (that do not contribute to notability) are things like press releases, event listings, organizations or venues that have presented or supported his work. We need more of the first type, those that are fully independent from him. Netherzone (talk) 15:13, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
Steffen Krebber (born 1976) is a German composer, sound artist and researcher working in contemporary music, electronics, multimedia and sound art.[1]
Biography
Krebber was born in Stuttgart. He studied composition in Stuttgart and Cologne, including studies with Marco Stroppa, Caspar Johannes Walter and Rebecca Saunders.[2] He has received scholarships and residencies including Akademie Schloss Solitude, Künstlerhof Schreyahn, the Baden-Württemberg Art Foundation and the Bernd Alois Zimmermann Scholarship of the City of Cologne.[1]
Work and reception
Krebber's work combines conventional instrumentation with electronics, multimedia and found sonic material. In a 2018 review of the portrait release Neolithic Brass in Neue Zeitschrift für Musik, Dirk Wieschollek discussed Krebber's use of collage and montage and described his music as placing available materials into new forms of actuality.[3]
Neolithic Brass was released by Wergo in 2018 as a CD/DVD portrait in the Deutscher Musikrat's Edition Zeitgenössische Musik series.[4]
In 2022, neue musikzeitung reviewed Krebber's LP Amphiference / Are You Prepared Experience. Wieschollek described Amphiference as a procedure for modifying instrumental sounds in relation to pre-existing music and discussed the work's relation to Pink Floyd's Echoes, Moog synthesizer, percussion and psychedelic rock.[5]
Krebber's book sinusoidal run rhythm was published by Wolke Verlag in 2023.[6] In a review in Positionen, Lukas Hermann described the publication as an attempt to make rhythm visible as a visualizable working material through sine waves, graphs and polar patterns, relating the model to partial frequencies, additive synthesis, electronic music and software-based musical practice.[7]
In 2026, Ensemble Proton's album Next to Your Fire, with works by Oxana Omelchuk, Krebber and Hannes Seidl, was selected for the Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik Bestenliste 2/2026 in the category Contemporary Music.[8] The jury statement by Bastian Zimmermann described the album as presenting three distinct positions within a newly forming sound practice involving ensemble and band traditions, complex beats, rock, chords and extended techniques.[8]
