Influences: Berlin hosts and attracts many musicians, and has a very vivid scene. Unfortunately this town offers also its 'Berlin Conditions.' Everybody performing here knows what this means: door money only, and in some cases not even that.
The festival has a very spontaneous character. A coincidental arrival of more then one field recorder could trigger a new festival. So far most of these visitors and resident Berliners as well agreed with the terms to play for honour, for joy and for a pocketfull of coins.
Applying for fundings would mean that too many things had to be known and scheduled way to much time in advance. In this way it would almost be undoable to add artists who arrived at the very last moment. Which would be a pity.
All this doesn't mean that the festival works without a budget. The real value lies in the enthousiasm and the unconditioned cooperation of friends and collegues. I would like to mention Martin from Wendel who has been a great supporter from the beginning on, who helped with his time and promotional skills, and to Tobias Luther from (then) radioincorrect.org . Among the participating artists I have to be really really thankfull to everyone, but Derek Holzer as well as Lasse Marc Riek have been very helpfull in promotional matters, as was Carsten Stabenow who brought his surround system to add to a exquisite listening experience.
All the places where the festival landed so far helped because of hosting us for free, giving out free drinks to the artists as well.
The August 2007 edition saw artists travelling in from remote places like Paris, Malmö or Oslo. They agreed on forehand to loose money on this adventure, for which reason I mobilised some help from the Phonography Mailing Group . Thanks to the help of these mini sponsors all the guest from outside Berlin saw (a great deal of)their travel expenses covered.Four people who deserve special mentioning are Udo P.Leis who helped me with the tiresome work to put all the information on line (In fact it is still there Feb. '07 Artists and pictures and festival-to-go ), Björn Eriksson (aka miulew (tahake)) for spending so much time and energy to set up the virtual section of dkfrf in Second Life, to Ruben Patiño (aka pato ) and Tobias Luther who coordinated the great radio day on August 10, 2007.
Sounds Like: between natura morta and lanterna magica part two
Saturday 16th August
Kule
Auguststrasse 10
Berlin Mitte What to expect?
For sure it won't be a regular evening of field recordings:
This evening will focus on the imitation of nature.
And nature is the great reservoir of sounds.
Scholars are talking about caves
and the pictogrammes on the walls:
deer and buffles,
hunting and dancing.
: Caves with resonances
that would carry the sounds into nature. :
Did they imitate those sounds at those times? :
Would they have done it for artistic reasons? :
Or had they already figured out :
that they had to bow to some :
higher being?:
Will the scene on the 16th August resemble a cage or just a venue? What is to be found at the heart of field recording?
: Can the human voice help? :
Can radiowaves lead us to a way of better understanding. :
Is there life on earth?:Forget all the questions. :
Come and see :
Minuit DelaCroix, :
Haarmann :
and :
Seiji Morimoto & Francesco Cavaliere :
do a mindbubbling show at Kule, :
and maybe they will touch :
your soul :
as well.:
