97 polysiloxane hoses 3.0mm

Sounding visual video by Zimoun.

Zimoun’s sound sculptures and installations are graceful, mechanized works of playful poetry, their structural simplicity opens like an industrial bloom to reveal a complex and intricate series of relationships, an ongoing interplay between the »artificial« and the »organic«.

Podcast November 2010 – Five years now!


For the cover I used a photo by Greg Turner [CC BY-NC-SA]

Two remarkable dates for this episode: We started this thingie here in November 2005, so we have now 5 years of Machtdose Podcast. And during this episode we also present the 1,000th track in the history of the podcast.

So, time for a short retrospection and some statistics. I’m still overwhelmed of the richness, diversity, surprises & vitality of the netlabel scene. Although I don’t play exclusively tracks from netlabels this is still my main focus because I also still believe in the idea of the concept „label“. Therfore I want to thank all artists and especially the label makers for their great work. Here’s not the space to name them all , but I want at least mention some, namely the ones which gave us the most input, that are: 12rec.net (18 times in our show) / Clinical Archives, Maltine Records (14 times) / Dusted Wax Kingdom (13) / Acroplane_Recordings, Corpid, kreislauf (12) / Tropic, monotonik, MiMi Records, Bump Foot, broque, 8bitpeoples (11) / The Poni Republic, Laridae (9) / WM Recordings, Budabeats (8) … and I could lengthen that list to a kilometer, so I have to stop. But you can have this complete (!) list all ever-played tracks (will be constantly updated from now on). So, to all of you, wonderful netlabels & artists out there – mentioned or not -: thank you, thank you, thank you.

What also impresses me is not only the variety of styles and genres you still find, but also that we have collected tracks from a lot of countries, more or less the half of the United Nations, we have had music from artists & labels out of: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republik, Denmark, Ethiopia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Malta, Mexico, Moldova, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, The United Kingdom, Ukraine, Uruquay, The United States of America and Venezuela. Hello World!

I don’t know if I will do this podcast for another five years, but right at the moment I think: why not. As long as I get so much fantastic music, the chances are not too bad.

YouGuggen, please

Die nächsten 77 Minuten könnten Ihnen großes Vergnügen bereiten. Vielleicht soagr ein bisschen mehr. Nehmen Sie sich die Zeit! Das Guggenheim Museum hat die längst überfällige Idee realisiert und ein Best-Of-You-Tube erstellt, das von einer fachkundigen Jury vor kurzem bekannt gegeben wurde und die herausragenden, auf YouTube gespeicherten Werke der letzten zwei Jahre präsentiert. Der Geschmack deckt sich zu 100% mit dem der Meinungsmacher dieser Seite. (Das feine Gespür für den richtigen Film zeigen die vielen alten Bekannten, die es zuvor schon hier zu sehen gab). Und ich sage es gerne noch mal: Nehmt euch die Zeit. NOW!

On October 21, the top videos selected by the YouTube Play jury were revealed and celebrated at the Guggenheim Museum in New York. The videos, which can be viewed below and on youtube.com/play, will be presented at the Guggenheim Museums in New York, Bilbao, Berlin, and Venice on October 22–24, 2010. They comprise the ultimate YouTube playlist: a selection of the most unique, innovative, groundbreaking video work being created and distributed online during the past two years. Read about the artists here.

Once Upon A Time In The West

Mein erstes animated-gif-Posting. Überhaupt. Obwohl der Peak schon lange hinter uns liegt. Ich liebe sie trotzdem, die Wackelbilder, und bin ganz wild auf sie.

»The last man who told me that … is buried out there.«
Once Upon a Time in the West (1968)

(Mehr Wackelbilder unter If We Don’t, Remember Me.)

Kill Your Co-Workers

Video zu »Kill Your Co-Workers« von der neuen Flying-Lotus-EP »Pattern+Grid World«. Was süß beginnt, muss böse enden. Genial, Characters und Storyline. Kommt von Beeple a.k.a. Mike Winkelmann.

Heyne Kultur Fabrik

Kommenden Freitag ist der Auftakt zu einer neuen Veranstaltungsreihe namens Heyne Kultur Fabrik. Lars Rudolph, den meisten wohl bekannt als Schauspieler aus Filmen wie »Lola rennt« und »Soul Kitchen«, macht neuerdings mit Band (streng genommen schon seit Mitte der 80er). Mariahilff. Musik zwischen Kaffeehaus und Hafenkneipe mit sonderbaren Texten über Vampire, Engel und Matrosen. Eröffnet wird der Abend von der Frankfurter Autorin und Schauspielerin Etta Streicher mit ihrem Programm über die Metaferne und die Melankolerik. Und zur anschliessenden Party hat Offenbach am Meer Christian Strobel und Pierre van Keerckvoorde vom 1. DJ-Club Offenbach/FFM geladen.
