Cornelia Friederike Müller aka CFM is a visual artist and sound artist from Leipzig, Germany. During her studies of fine art, after studying philosophy, educational science and psychology, she turned towards electronic music as a dj, editor of co-founded fanzine “repertoire” and as co-organizer of “Der Elektronische Sonntag” – featuring a significant number of first appearances of Leipzig-based sound artists – and also as part of female network PROPELLAS and caramba!records.
CFM´s sound work combines samples from field recordings with playing the midi-keyboard using edited material from instruments – on one hand as minimalistic techno on the other best called experimental soundscapes. As a composer for radio plays her and her collaborators’ work was honored with the German Radio Play Award, which they received for “The safety of a closed passenger cabin”. CFM regularly collaborates with classical instrumentalists, film, new music and theater related projects. Thereby since 2010 also in conception and directing. The dance-theater play “Crystal” for which she developed the score, was awarded with the price of the Saxony Theater Meeting 2016. In November 2018 she was nominated for the Saxon State Award for Design in the category sound design. She also gives lectures and workshops.
Her artistic practice is best described as conceptual and engaged, using different media, aiming to challenge accustomed (auditory-)views, terms and coherences in life and society, but also to trace the poetry of every day life in little details.

Recent Comment
“The films sound design creates a musical-acoustic continuum. Ingenious and minimal activated noises, like voices, ringing and applause, generate liveliness. At the same time it flows with ease without disturbance. It´s an art.”
Thomas Schneider – Jury Saxon State Award for Design
“…succeeds to create an auditory cosmos, in wich the artfully built music miniatures from Cornelia Friederike Müller sparkl like little stars.”
Michael Opitz / DRadio Kultur
“An additional acoustic space, full of pictorial power, opens sound artist Cornelia Friederike Müller, when she electronically manipulates the historical soundtrack or evokes magical moods, with rich in associations sounds…”

Cornelia Friederike Müller aka CFM ist bildende Künstlerin und Soundkünstlerin, sie lebt und arbeitet in Leipzig.
Nach dem Studium der Philosophie, Erziehungswissenschaften und Psychologie, wandte sie sich als Redakteurin, Veranstalterin und DJ, während ihres Medienkunststudiums, intensiv der elektronischen Musik zu.
CFM war gemeinsam mit Francis Hunger Veranstalterin der Reihe Der Elektronische Sonntag im Leipziger Club Ilses Erika und Redakteurin des repertoire Fanzines. Seit 2002 ist sie Akteurin des Leipziger Netzwerks propellas/caramba!rec, welches in verschiedenen Veranstaltungsreihen haupsächlich weiblichen Künstlern und Musikerinnen eine Plattform bietet. Sie hält regelmäßig Workshops und Vorträge über die Wirkung von Klängen und Geräuschen, denen sie sich innerhalb ihrer Soundarbeit “The Daily Noise” widmet. Mit dem Film “Hausarbeiten” – über das elektronische Musizieren, schuf sie 2003 gemeinsam mit René Blümel, ein kulturphilosophisches Porträt der Leipziger Home ProducerIn´ Szene.
Als Künstlerin arbeitet sie minimalistisch und konzeptionell und nutzt verschiedene Medien. Sie schafft Objekte, (Klang-)Bilder und Installationen, die gewohnte Sichtweisen, Begriffe und Zusammenhänge des gesellschaftlichen Lebens hinterfragen oder aber auch die Poesie des Alltäglichen aufspüren.
Ihre Musik, basiert auf Samples aus Field Recordings und dem Spiel auf der Midi-Klaviatur, die zum einen als eine melodische Minimal Techno charakterisiert, zum anderen am besten als experimentelle Soundscapes oder Scores bezeichnet wird. Für Theater Produktionen entwickelte sie zahlreiche Soundcollagen und Kompositionen – das Stück “Crystal” wofür sie den Soundtrack entwickelte, erhielt den Theaterpreis des Sächsischen Theatertreffens 2016. Im Bereich Neue Musik entwickelt CFM für und mit dem Perkussionisten Gerd Schenker, verschiedene Kompositionen für Schlagwerke und Elektronik. Das Hörspiel „Die Sicherheit einer geschlossenen Fahrgastzelle“, wofür CFM die Musik komponierte, erhielt 2010 den Deutschen Hörspielpreis, den Hörspielpreis der Kriegsblinden, den Slabbezs Preis, sowie den Online Award der ARD.
Im November 2018 wurde sie für den Sächsischen Staatspreis für Design in der Kategorie Sound Design nominiert.
