Ignaz Schick's electronic work has gone through different phases of instrumentation from simple bedroom tape collages & vinyl manipulations via md field recordings to hard & software samplers. Over the years his scepticism towards digital technology and computers has grown and in parallel has his collection of little sound making objects. "Objets trouvés" which he has used in many different musical contexts. Within the last two years the turntable came back to interest as a simple, fast and reactive interface and it was a small but important step to leave the (own) history of sampling/plunderphonics for exploring the machine in its most direct and basic way: a rotating plate with its surface creates friction and makes objects vibrate and resonate. An immense cosmos of sound opening up - the quality depending on material, surface, speed and the way it is amplified. Turntable as a direct sound source and not necessarily only a machine of reproduction.
1998 he founded Edition Zangi, in 2000 the label Zarek. He has organized & produced many events, concert series & international festivals of experimental music in Berlin and elsewhere. Also he worked as guest curator for different organizations (Garage Stralsund, Staatsbank Berlin, Freunde Guter Musik Berlin, Ausland Berlin, ...) From early 2004 til 2007 he worked as sales manager for Staalplaat Amsterdam/Berlin.
Numerous festival appearances & international tours to Austria, the Balkans, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, USA (...) & he was commissioned for various radio productions (DRS II, BR II, ORF-Kunstradio, ORF-Zeit-Ton, DLF, DLR, Radio Copernicus, WDR 3, ...)

Video documentation of a performance piece by my friend Nate Kassel who rode around on his bike slapping high-fives to people who were trying to hail taxi cabs in NYC. Enjoy!
