About Me


..
AN ARTIST IS A HORSE AND THE LABEL IS ITS STABLE.
Ave! Bienvenue! Bienvenido! Willkommen!
Zee Deutscher/Italiano/Hungarian girl Carina bambina aka 7cut is offering services in muzak promotion such as label/artist/press/online/radio/dj/whatnot promo and further bollocks in electronic & indie music such as street promotion! Including the effective method of negative music marketing, btw. no majors please, only work for indie labels.

Let me lead you through zee pseudo hall-of-fame: started off in the music biz as intern at virgin / munich with ..slave..written across my cheek at the promo department of jeff van geldern, legendary at the BBS of beck.com for errm posting senseless topics with interesting pictures that either match the topic or are about something completely different, but let..s not drift apart. After doing an internship at the music department of munich student radio station M94.5 and making trailers, chapters and menues at a DVD postproduction company, it was time for something completely different: namely for calling old rich people for Austrian-Italian mafia pensionists trying to sell icons and carpets but then Siress 7cut returned to zee fine and save path of muzak bizness to be feared and loved at the staples of Compost Records & Angora Steel in Monaco di Baviera where she got an apprenticeship as (beware, the term is worse than "nujazz" or "eclectic")..bizness woman for audio-visual media.. and assisted in all departments for almost 3years. And in case you ever wondered - yep, the Prom / Debuetantinnenball text at the frauleinwunder homepage was written by me, I have journalistic instincts - when the going gets weird, the weird turn pro after all and after all, we..re all professionals, as dear Dr. Thompson (RIP) would have said. In early 2006 Mistress Elter was mad enough to move to Vienna to be zee girl in charge of label & artist promotion at electronica indie downbeat label klein records & assisting electro crooner Louie Austen. She fell helplessly in love with Vienna, Käsekrainers and the morbid Austrians. And so the story goes.......

In her rare free time she enjoys hanging out with her seven cats and spending time on the KJF - Kranke Jugend Ferein - her project/band/label-to-be, is sucking on a cigarillo or old-fashioned pipe with whisky-cherry tobacco, and is terribly slowly upgrading herself to be a music video director!

--To contact the siress, drop a line (email, no drugs silly) to sevencut(at)hotmail(dot)de or just write a message via MS. --
TESTIMONIALS/QUOTES: ---------------------

"We are errm, proud to claim her our daughter" - Gabriele & Alfred Elter / procreators

“The doors of Munich..s futuristic glass and steel airport slid aside and there was Carina, just as she described – chaos lay within her frame, anarchy in her handbag.”
from the „Dispatches from the wrong side“ column of DJ Magazine

"Carina is a wonderwoman, doing a great job for me!"
Louie Austen - Artist
"You rock" - Alex Ebert / Ima Robot - Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros

"Sometimes you..re a bit of a poser." - Christian Candid / klein records

"Having taken all things into consideration, I can confirm that Carina is actually the best person in the world. I have actually met every person in the world, so this is fact."- Toph Taylor / Trouble Over Tokyo

“I co-worked with Carina at Compost/JCR/Angora Steel. She has everything which contributes to a smooth atmosphere at zee working stables: commitment, curiosity, diligence, endurance, studiousness. More important is what accounts for her as homo sapiens sapiens: Intelligence, humour and helpfulness. Alas much more HYPER important is what makes her indespensable for the muzak bizness: The feeling for good music and the vision needed to believe in its realization. What she lacks of are the muzak biz usual profile neuroses and problems with ego. Therefore she is to be recommended highly! No wait, I..m not done yet...she also has talent. Not too few and that might be there reason that each and every press text from Compost Rec. was from her. Maybe the reason they..ve actually been read for the very first time."
Lea Rothdach – Frauleinwunder / Munich

“Carina can only be recommended highly: into music, reliable, quick as fuck, a mastress of typing, good with languages, nice and always a smile on her face!" Rainer Trueby - DJ, Producer, Artist - Trueby Trio

„Carina is certainly the most charming and the most professional person I worked with in the music bizness. Her work at Compost Records was done with enthusiasm, responsibility, passion and love. She..s efficient and knows her job perfectly and this will give full satisfaction in any tasks given. I recommend her highly.”
Alex Attias – DJ, Producer, Artist, Label Head of Vision Inc. / Switzerland


“Carina..s presence is more than just felt by her colleagues. Those on the outside including a bunch of DJs and other industry workers have marvelled at her enthusiasm and commitment to all things musical. She simply has made ..our..jobs much easier.”
Alan Brown – Soul Seduction / Vienna

“This is to attest to the high calibre of professionalism that Carina exhibited during my dealings with her while she was working at Compost Records in Germany. When Compost licensed one our our tracks for a compilation, Ms. Elter was able to handle my inquiries in fluent English, and moreover displayed an astonishing command of the vernacular that we use in the US. Carina..s efficiency, friendliness, and humorous wit contributed greatly to making my bizness with Compost run very smoothly indeed. Needless to say she..s featured in a Tyrants In Therapy music video. And I look forward to working with her again in the future.”
Michael Jaye – Trusted Brain Prod. & Emotional Coathanger Records, Artist - Tyrants In Therapy

"You would be best not to piss her off as she has the fury of 10,000 Mount Vesuvises contained inside her soul. She is zee owner of a many fine blade and zis Siress holds back from no battle! She will stand over slain warriors, prevail & smoke her pipe with pride...much worse than each and all Troma! Still is there time for her to shop the hordes of street marketers looking for some old German cassette that you sir have never heard of!"
Loetz - BBS of old Beck.com
music videos me likes...e.g. all Devo:

My Interests

muzak. cats and animals in general. pissing people off. music videos. everything that is or could be neon. finding things rather than losing things. silly things. trashy things. obscure things (as found in German PM Magazin,Die Zeit & esp. I am very fond of the Zeit Magazin Leben (thanks for keeping me from being retarded & giving me some intellect), British Bizarre magazine and the brilliant Found magazine), KINNIE lemonade from Malta, mexican food / indian food / italian food / chinese food / japanese food --food in general. SUSHI. 80s. nu wave. THE IDEA of an underground scene for once it..s there it sort of sounds foul. fairytales particularly 70s czech fairy tale movies. my retardingly brilliant friends from all over the world. fighting with my boyfriend. writing letters and postcards. martial arts. togas. dressing up. taking pictures. performance art and collages. the island known as gozo as well as doctor gonzo. swimming. rollerskate discotheques. nature (though i..d like to stress that I am NOT a hippie, I despise them). crossbow. fencing. working out -- non-gym. mehlspeisen. drawing a bow and shooting arrows pretending i was a goodness or performing in an ABC music video. cigarillos & smoking pipe. molokos - NYC..s korova milk bar..s best. Greek and Egyptian mythology. Monty Python - the slimy old fake theatrical agent!

I'd like to meet:

IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER: I would like to meet animals who speak, enchanted people & enchanted animals (rare they are!). people who enjoy dressing up. people who are not all about $ but make the best of what they have, people who feel like they mis-fit this fast-living modern century and would have rather liked to live centuries ago e.g. in the Greek or Roman empire, people who like NuWave and the Kranke Jugend Ferein, Aurinko Sol Suarez, Siress Huizenga & Freddy, Mr. Marcus Rosenberg & John Maus, Truck, people who are personalities rather than hipsters oh well, you know. Peope who like me as a persona and not due to my occupation. And I would love to see (again) Mr. Passat Dream, Vien, Graefin Zahl, Jenner, Sara, Jon, Ed, Chelsmaestro, Jake, ShyuShyu in Hamburg, Ray, Inga, River, Mjb and Gmj - but please, no more lions in our garden - but ligers are allowed.
