Astonishing imagery inspired by Cyrus Teed’s concept of hollow earth and Franz Werfel’s utopic fantasies pulls the wool over the audience’s eyes, explaining the world the way it is not. A vicious circle of existence—perceiving, connecting, absorbing and releasing—illustrated in a multidimensional stage show of projection and music. Like everything that exists, the most peculiar theories never fully die. Teed’s vision of a hollow sphere that contains the continents on its inner surface, with a sun rotating in its center becomes the scene for an astro-mental dissolution of Werfel’s utopia.

Ottakringer BrauereiNorwegian-raised Lindstrøm used to immerse himself in folk and country music but eventually decided to hang up his guitar to take a break from all music. Soon, however, he bought a sampler and studied the structure of electronic music and had a go at it himself. Next thing we know; he released remixes for Roxy Music, Bordoms and LCD Soundsystem, while a collaboration with Prins Thomas became an instant classic. On his latest album “Real Life Is No Cool” he worked with Christabelle Sandoo to unite catchy electro pop with r’n’b appeal and vocals. The single “Lovesick” has been playing constantly on countless radio stations.

He unforgivingly analyzes the current musical tendencies towards retrosounds, interlinks the familiar with the strange and thereby delivers his quality signature on everything he touches. Machinedrum’s tracks dance between the elements of acoustic and electronic instrumentation, between dubstep and pop, which is how he manages to combine vastly different genres in ways and styles that many would have never thought possible.

Featuring both, synthesizer melodies and ac-oustic instruments, the album’s sound was born in New York, matured in London and finished in Berlin. Beats are replaced by hardly noticeable breaks and reconciled—observations of her surroundings become part of the tracks.

Fluc WanneThe visuals by Ni & boesebertha are full of cultural references and inspired by sci-fi movies as well as contemporary pop culture and art.
While their approach is humorous, the visual stories they come up with often have an underlying socio-critical theme. As they focus on the key-elements of their work, including the battle of the antihero as well as the creation of utopian fairytales, their techniques vary with every project, yet remaining unique: mixing 2D-characters, stop-motion animation, actors, abstract landscapes and 3D-renderings. The result is a colorful video potpourri.

Raz began to record song sketches, giving them to Oliver Doerell. Oliver would take the sketches and add his own thoughts, their cooperation and embellishments. Raz and he continued; the resulting album is “Raz Ohara and the Odd Orchestra”, an album that sheds light on the melancholic part of experimental electronic, using ambient layers of sound and polyphonic choirs.

Socially competent behaviour combines the aims and activities of individuals with the ethical values and opinions of a group.
