The hondes Martenot ..

photo1-881b4324the french invention of the hondes martenot led into plenty of classical compositions for an early electronic musical instrument that is still 50 years later needed quite often nowadays for concerts. So owners of those few units that still work fine are often booked. For all others now there is hope from Japan, where Ondomo is producing a fine remake looking like something nearer to the original compared with the available french connection by Analogue Systems or Doepfers very affordable solution called R2M/A-189. Check this out on a date in their room Orbitall on the upcoming Superbooth soon.

Feeding Concerts ..

singing_kitchen-45882f05will be held  inside Superbooth17 next to the seaside stage every day starting at 1pm. Feel free to help out with cutting down your onions on the beat and listen to the bacon, that sounds best .. as the artist told us!

could happen ..

Mario Hammer and the lonely Robot for a smart sunset on the seaside stage to finish a weird day with an earlier gig of FUCKETYBUCKETY on the K1 quadrophonical stage? ..saw great guys called Ricardo and Max, one of the Ramsteiners and others. Colin Benders was performing live, sailing back home finally? Listening  to Carlos African Beats on a boot shuttle down the river, fell into the C-Base, Robert Lowe could be the name of a guy making a generative patch on a rotating installation with six modulars, a very special place. some sleep. Next day back to the FEZ with the S-Bahn arriving Wuhlheide. The Park Train took me around for free. Friday afternoon d´Voxx performing outdoors, directly afterwards I had this workshop and built myself a very first DIY eurorack case; understood: Now I am a junkie! Many nice talks about it afterwards, Alissa deRubeis as 4MS had some good hints for us, I will join for the girls workshop tomorrow. Monika Werkstatt, another smart lady from the UK and finally Matt Didemus from Junior Boys together with Mark Verbos rocked the remaining friday, a Boat shuttle with Tangerine Dream was sold out, but there was a second one, luckily – C-Base again, Friday night.
Saturday half past one: Synths4girls just for girls, well done. Listening to different speakers – audio monitors, two three speaker lounges, now I know what to listen to. 4 oclock: live composing, no .. listening to skinnerbox, Mouse on Mars. Meeting Mike Shannon. Frank Bretschneider? #INSTANTBONER on the boat, great party starty, taking over the OHM for the final countdown: Jackie Houser-Brown – funny, plenty of modular heroes, Daniel Miller and again, the end of times in the C-base? perhaps. It could have been the superbooth.

Monika Werkstatt..

Und Manchmal Artet es aus

.. in Musik! also “Manchmal artet es in Musik aus” ist der Titel der Langen Nacht über den Intermedia Künstler Conrad Schnitzler, der leider viel zu früh vor wenigen Jahren verstorben ist. Als Kunde von SchneidersLaden hat er sich gern immer wieder mal einen neuen Synth “gekauft”, den er bevorzugt nicht besonders gut zu verstehen gewillt war, um sich von dessen Klang und Geräuschebringenden Exzessen selbst immer wieder neu überraschen zu lassen während er diese aufnahm und zu immer wieder neuen Werken in seinem Kellerstudio kombinierte.
In seinem unglaublichen Nachlass gibt es somit Werke die ausschließlich mit z.B. einer Sherman Filterbank oder dem Cwejman S1 oder dem großen M5 von Macbeth (im Foto links: Dank an Max Joy) gemacht sind, die Instrumente sind seinerzeit immer wieder zu gunsten weiterer neuer Produkte zu uns zurück gekommen. Seine eigentlichen Werke allerdings waren wohl die Kassettekonzerte und sein Auftreten gegenüber dem konservativen Mainstream der (berliner) westdeutschen Nachkriegszeit z.B.in der Frankfurter Oper oder im Stechschritt auf dem Kuhdamm. Ich bin gespannt.

Diesen Samstag auf Deutschlandradio Kultur ab 00:05 Uhr
