Erste Station: Das Meer, drei Muscheln, ein Wald und der Puy-de-Dôme. Zweite Station: Ein Samenkorn Dritte Station: Die Woge, das Feuer, eine Grünpflanze; eine Gestalt, die den Egoismus verkörpert, eine Art nackter, getigerter Gott, entsteigt einem Tritonshorn und schwenkt ein Telegrammformular, auf das man: Ich bin es, ich bin es! geschrieben, aber dabei vergessen hat, Name und Anschrift des Absenders anzugeben. Vierte Station: Eine Frau, die Blumen ausspuckt, Amor, einen Weißdornbusch auf dem Kopf, neigt sich in der Ferne über die Stille der Brunnen. Titel: Ich vergesse. Fünfte Station: Das Samenkorn. Sechste Station: Atemzüge warten an der Tür der Stille auf den Sklaven, der nicht zurück kommt. Siebte Station: Der Schleier reist auf und läßt das Begehren in Gestalt eines Flamingos sehen. Achte Station: Der Flamingo fliegt davon. Neunte Station: Der Flamingo verliert seine Federn im Wind. Zehnte Station: Der Wind. Elfte Station: Das Samenkorn im Wind. Zwölfte Station: Egoismus und Amor, die Wappen eines Phantasielandes haltend, verflechten ihre Haare miteinander, als die Sonne über den Puy-de-Dôme den Mittag einläutet.
every second monday where? loophole, Boddinstraße 60 (U7 Rathaus Neukölln, U8 Hermannplatz)
Launching on April 20th 2009, “Open Stage for Free Music” will try to establish something Berlin’s otherwise rich scene is currently lacking: a periodical Open Stage and Meeting Point for musicians and visual artists to freely improvise, exchange ideas and meet like-minded people. Free Jazz, Electronics, Spoken Word, Noise, Classical and Avant-garde Music, Experimental Rock, even Visual Arts! - every genre and instrument is welcome. In fact, to achieve a maximum variety of styles within the elusive parameters of good music will be the main goal.
"Open Stage for Free Music" will take place at loophole, Berlin-Neukölln, Boddinstraße 60. The entry will be free for musicians, who will be, after signing up at the bar, randomly put into small groups on the stage to improvise together. There are no rules as such about how or what to play - the ability of spontaneous expression in a group consisting of strangers is the only requirement, performing interesting and unique music.
Equipment will be available on location including several microphones, klinke plugs, an amplifier and a juction to a beamer which all together should make it possible for most of the instruments (and other sound- or picturemaking objects) to be used. Unfortunately, there is no drum-set at the moment - if anybody could help out here, please contact us, you would be warmly welcomed.
The sessions will also be recorded and appear downloadable on a blog.

Open Stage for Free Music Berlin's Friend Space (Top 4)
Hello all, this will be our final release of 2009, and a great way to end the year... Pinklogik asked 10 artists and friends to remix her entire "Learning To Trust Higher Frequencies" album and what an eclectic and stunningly produced work this is. Each track has its own feel, thanks to the diverse range of artists involved in the project. A shimmering journey through ambient colours, broken beats, sweet melodies, a little bit of quantum physics, and is one hell of a trip....

[S27-030] MIN-Y-LLAN : Dark Days (Downtempo, Ambient)
We are fast approaching the last days of 2009, so what better way to celebrate than this release from Welshman "Min-Y-Llan" who offers us this collection of atmospheric ambient pieces, the melodies within are dark and cavernous, being the perfect listening for the walk home on a frozen winters evening. Each track has a very melancholic feel as if looking towards a future that isn't as bright as we hope for, but nevertheless are powerless to escape. Free download!
Adviruz is the artist psedonym of Istanbul’s Pinar Gurcan, whose growing passion for sound is translated through her music. Since an early age, she has been listening and mimicking opera singers, writing melodies, songs and poems in which she spoke her mind and reflected her soul. All of which are evident on "Nightly Sounds", an 8 track album which is the equivilent of having a glimpse into a diary, learning of love lost, gained, a snapshot of the human condition from which we can all draw experience... All of these things are developed musically into minimalistic glitch, noise, idm, experimental music and microsounds, its influences reminiscent of work by artists like Tujiko Noriko, Mira Calix, Plaid and Björk.
Adviruz and Section 27 present "Nightly Sounds", an intricately woven and rewarding musical tapestry. Available now for free download.
Almost Tomorrow is the third full length collaboration album from Section 27 Netlabel founders Tam Ferrans and Andrew Paterson, under their Nonima & theAudiologist guise. This time around the sound is more melodic, and has a definite feeling of a complete and more mature sound than heard on the previous LP's "Dystopian Battle Hymns" and "Ceremony After Amputation". If you are familiar with their individual projects you may even be in for a slight surprise, as the tracks are not as beat driven like before, but are more atmospheric and sound, well... "bigger". In its 75 minutes, Almost Tomorrow takes you on a trip from the digital rain-soaked cavernous scraping in "Thoughtograph", the ethereal beat jittering of "The Colour of Rain", intercepted transmissions from unknown places in "Com-Intercept", "Ganzfeld"s huge yet strangely insect-like beats until everything you knew comes crashing around you in "Almost Tomorrow". Burning pianos, glitched out soundscapes and intricately programmed beatplay, this may well be their best work to date. Consider it the soundtrack to a rainy overcast day, but with just that glimmer of sunshine peeking from the clouds. "Almost Tomorrow" wears its heart on its sleeve.
