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 too 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 guests 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.

Someone going out to offer his recordings in an artistic way stands in the line of the aural tradition. One may think that aural tradition is about story telling, and passing on historical events, be they on local or cosmological level. In thinking so, one is partially right. Aural tradition is also about the listeners and the society they are part of.
In a society based on aural tradition people move by foot. This results in a different pace very, but really very opposite to the ever more futile world of television and mobile phone applications. Opposing these two ways of experiencing life doesn’t mean that I would like to make a distinction between good and bad. I just want to underline the difference, and the importance that a new generation of story tellers, those who use sounds from our environment, is about to embark on society. The cultural value of having each one of them tell their story, doesn’t lie in the immediate artistic result it is twenty-five minutes of sound composition. Okay it does. But the main importance is in the medium that is used. A medium, I repeat, that comes from and transmits a different pace. A medium that invites and seduces the audience to listen. Where silence and attention is created, a sense of orientation originates.
