Ulrich Bösking

Uli Bösking / Dodecats

Since 1983 I have worked as a violin teacher, played in some bands as a guest, started some own bands and projects and worked frequently as studio- and stage musician for theatre plays and dance theatre.

In 1989 I recorded a LP/CD with my first own rock band "Virulent Violins" (CD/LP "Red and blue", Yellow/EFA). A video was produced of the title song "Red and blue".

1992/93 I played some gigs with Blaine L. Reininger of "Tuxedomoon". About this episode you can read in the biography "Music For Vagabonds - The Tuxedomoon Chronicles" by Isabelle Corbisier (OpenMute; UK ISBN 987-1-906496-08-1).

Since 2001 I set to music german poetry of the fin de ciecle and contemporary spanish poetry for my duo-project "DosUlises".

In 2007 I started "Dodecats", a duo (viola & cello) for which I write instrumentals implying balkan scales and contemporary elements like dodecaphonic structures.
