He first appeared with surreal sound collages and musique concrète-techniques under the moniker (catching eels with a horse's head) around 2004. After releasing four albums and some EPs (on , , , and ) Uhlig decided to release his now much more minimalistic and serene works under a less delusive name.
Uhlig's output is inspired by artists such as La Monte Young, early Tangerine Dream, Brian Eno, Nurse With Wound, David Lynch, William Basinski and current Hafler Trio.
“Uhlig plays a form of drone music that is highly refreshing. He creates something that is beyond the ordinary! For me Mirko Uhlig is one of the better and unfortunately lesser known drone masters of Germany.” (Vital Weekly)[1]
"Uhlig is one of the few ones able to cut the oneiric bliss of his creations right in the moment of maximum ecstasy." (Touching Extremes)[2]
Beside his solo work Mirko Uhlig runs the label for "drone music and dulcet atmospheres", founded the Suneaters (band) (together with of magazine) and worked with several artists, such as , , and .
