BIOGRAPHY

Since 1998 Ulrich Drechsler has been living and working in Vienna and within a few years established himself on a national and international level as one of the most successful musicians and composers in the field of jazz and popular music in Austria. 

His very first project under his own name, the acoustic trio “Café Drechsler”, caused a sensation, achieved several placements in international charts and was signed to the major label Universal Music. For the band’s second album in total, Ulrich was awarded the Austrian Amadeus Music Award for the best album in the jazz/blues category in 2005.  

Since 2020, he has been realising most of his work with the sound world & network LIMINAL ZONE, his most ambitious project to date. In the form of the three individual projects “Caramel”, “Azure” and “Chrome” contained in LIMINAL ZONE, Ulrich Drechsler processes his multi-layered musical ideas & inspirations in it, which he in turn combines with other genres such as new media, photography, video and visuals as well as a distinct graphic language. 

He runs his own record label Liminal Zone Records and is also signed to the major label Universal Music.
