Biography:
Until 1994, Ablinger's compositional focus was on soloist chamber music instrumentation up to 25 instruments, such as "Der Regen, das Glas, das Lachen" and basically summed up his works. While his pieces unfolded in several parallel work cycles in the following years - working with instruments and electro-acoustic (often in cooperation with programmers and studios, such as the IEM Graz etc.), or the work complex "Weiss/Weisslich", which includes instrumentals, installations, objects, recordings, hints and prose, are characteristic -, he has been creating four-part series pieces (e.g.: "Voices and Piano"), or networks with multiple elements combining various musical genres, Topoi, instrumentations, such as a hint and an instrumental or an installation, an electronic and orchestra piece (e.g.: "Altar" or the city opera "opera/Werke"), since 2001.
