Manifest
Helmüt Umläut was born in Osnabrüke to a family of cheesemongers, goat herders and sausage makers, but after learning that goats share 80% of their DNA with humans and that the Milky Way galaxy may contain 300 million habitable planets, Helmüt had a cosmic and intestinal epiphany. His family converted to veganism and fled with their flock to found the Ziegen-Sterne Anarcho-Syndicalist Commune for Spatial-Sonic Exploration & Animal Husbandry in an abandoned planetarium. Helmüt overcame his intolerance of lactose through his special relationship with a goat named Ziege as they wandered the pastures and precipices around the compound. Milking Ziege, tuning the glockenspiel and polishing the telescope lenses nurtured Helmüt’s love of barnyard animals, harmonics and space exploration.
To study the implications of quantum wave-particle duality on goatherding, Helmüt departed for the Stuttgart Cosmonaut Training Program, but quickly left over cosmological differences, and for failing the swimming test.
Helmüt spent the next several years in study at the Johannes-Kepler-Gymnasium followed by a lucrative career as a freelance interpretive dancer and choreographer. But after a flock flogged and disfigured Helmüt during an agro-industrial interpretive dance performance, Helmüt developed an abiding hatred for all poultry. While Helmüt convalesced, sure-footed Ziege tumbled into a crevasse and was lost. Helmüt was devastated. He turned to music and the ocean for solace, as a composer and an assistant sonar operator.
Helmüt spent nearly two decades exploring the ocean's depths, gestating a transformative vision for interstellar, tectonic and interspecies illumination and liberation. Helmüt emerged reenergized, only to submerge himself again in a top secret geothermal bunker built deep below the exact juncture of the Sveitarfélagið Hornafjörður glacial meridian to contemplate, and ultimately resolve, the Icelandic mantle plume - cold crust conundrum that has perplexed geologists and seismologists for decades.
In 2020 Helmüt founded Umläut Fabrication to integrate the disciplines of seismology, theoretical drill press operation, choreography, photography, analytics, plate tectonics, cosmology, sonic fabrication and interpretive dance. Helmüt now transverses space and time conjuring soundscapes and conceptualizing a tube connecting Vatnajökull, Hofsjökull and Snæfellsjökull through the Icelandic intracontinental crust. He emerges occasionally for DJ gigs in the Minne-Sconsin region of North America.
