Ursula Bogner (1946-94) was a German pharmacist, wife and mother with a passion for the unfamiliar, which included electronic music.
At her home studio, she layered sonic textures and her own voice to create explorative, playful pieces that have a slight outer-space feel. She kept these experiments to herself, and years after her death they were unearthed by German electronic musician Jan Jelinek.
Sorting through Bogner's countless recordings and compositions with fellow musician Andrew Pekler, Jelinek has released her albums, "Recordings 1969-1988" and "Sonne = Blackbox" through his Faitiche label. The releases have been received favorably by critics, who have also raised the idea that the lost genius of Bogner is actually a project by Jelinek himself.
