*UMS 'n JIP* are a Swiss contemporary music duo, consisting of Ulrike
Mayer-Spohn (UMS) on recorders & electronics and Javier Hagen (JIP),
voice & electronics. One of the most experienced and distinguished
contemporary music laboratories of our times, they work as performers,
composers and organizers within a global network of composers, visual
artists, stage directors, researchers, universities and festivals. Their
special interest in long term collaboration, with its exchange of
knowledge and awareness, brings context to new creations and results in
an outstanding increase of artistic content. In this manner, UMS 'n JIP
explore new settings for voice, recorders and electronics, ranging from
live to digital performance in concert, scenic or installative formats
and often integrate European as well as non-European music. UMS `n JIP
have been invited to perform at prestigious contemporary music festivals
around the world including Zürich, Lucerne, Donaueschingen, Stuttgart,
Berlin, Paris, Barcelona, Athens, Istanbul, Moscow, Shanghai, Hong Kong,
Seoul, Tokyo, Buenos Aires, and New York. They have premiered hundreds
of works, collaborating with both world famous and aspiring young
composers such as Heiner Goebbels, Wolfgang Rihm, Mauricio Kagel,
Jennifer Walshe, Wolfgang Mitterer, Erik Oña, Luis Codera Puzo, Chikashi
Miyama, Huang Ruo and Guo Wenjing. They can look back on more than 900
concerts since their debut in 2007 and are one of the most active
contemporary music ensembles worldwide, bringing both young and
established works not only to famous venues but also to audiences who do
not have easy access to live performances of top quality contemporary
music. Both individually and as a duo UMS and JIP have received numerous
commissions and awards and have been invited to share their knowledge in
renowned universities in Europe, America and Asia. JIP is also the
director of the Swiss Contemporary Music Festival Forum Wallis and the
current president of ISCM Switzerland, as well as a board member of the
European Conference of Promoters of New Music ECPNM, the Swiss Music
Edition, and of the UNESCO Commission for the Inventory of Intangible
Cultural Heritage in the Canton of Valais. Since 2013 UMS has been
pioneering two new research projects: Recorder Map and Recorderology,
and the duo has been invited to act as experts in the European Union's
FP7 i-Treasures project.
