Followed by Diamond Version (Nicolai/Byetone):

Together with Atsuhiro Ito:















Quite cool, but a bit to metal-like if you ask me.

Couper Decaler Electronique - New Black

versus

The first entry in the series, 1964's The Pink Phink, (which was also his first appearance) featured the Panther harassing his foil, a little white moustached man who is actually a caricature of Friz Freleng (this character is officially known as "The Little White Guy" and/or "The Man" [1]), by constantly trying to paint the little man's blue house pink.

Nedko Solakov A Life (Black & White), 1999, black and white paint; 2 workers/painters constantly repainting the walls of the exhibition space in black and white (in rotation) every day for the entire duration of the exhibition.

(c)tm stream

just realized, that a few shows from (c)tm can be seen here:
realeyz
didnt check out this platform yet, but looks quite promising.

i just finished the last concert, which was really nice, as it was northern centric and with live organ-music in passionskirche.
the night before tim hecker was in the same place, but a bit dissapointing, as there was no live organ as i think.


so as not equal (with ben frost and mika vainio) was sold out (which i realized after standing for half an hour in front of the famous barghain-row), the highlight (of the whole festival) was imho tonight hildur:

ctm - night III - mohn

well last night I took a break from berghain and went into hau to the sitting concert of mohn (voigt and burger).
quite oldschool ambient techno, but nice nonetheless, esp. the videos. was a bit surprised to see ebertplatz tough, kind of cologne techno retrospective :)

ctm - night II - mouse on mars

second night was mouse on mars.
very nicely introduced by düsseldorf neo-kraut (one guy on synthie, the other on live-drums), quite nice, bau a bit boring over time maybe:


then there were around 7 people with classical intruments and a straight bassdrum appaering, solistenensemle kaleidoscope, really nice:


well and then mouse on mars startet rocking, ab bit poppy inbetween, but at the end the strobos startet, and ererything was fine. (great classic video btw)

ctm - part I - mark fell

moin together and greetings from freezing cold berlin.

Here a short higlight tour of ctm so far:
first nights highlight was mark fell (from snd) of course, feeling that click and cuts on the 5 meter speakers of berhain was nice :) in the end it even got danceable


sendai was also very nice (as far as i can remember...)
