Gabi Teufner

Gabi Teufner is an Austrian flutist active in Vienna's experimental and improvised-music scene. She was a member of the quintet ctrl, formed in 2005 by musicians associated with the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna.

The collective brought Teufner together with fellow flutist Meike Melinz, pianist Gloria Damijan, bassist Bernd Klug and guitarist Bernhard Schöberl. Rather than relying on episodic ad hoc encounters, ctrl rehearsed regularly while keeping the possibilities of free improvisation open. Their Creative Sources album 25.11 (CS099) documents that approach, having been recorded in Vienna on 25 November 2006.
