Wochenmarkt am Maybachufer - ENergyCast #5

Today i made a trip to the Ankerklause over at Kreuzberg's Maybachufer back here in Berlin to drink some nice Cafe au Lait when suddenly i had the idea of doing some audio recording of the noises which emerge the market around the corner.

Several times a week a market for food and clothing takes place at Kreuzberg's Maybachufer close to the Ankerklause and Hardwax record store. Mostly turkish merchants selling mostly vegetables, bread, fish and some very exotic food. A meeting place for the people living in and around Kreuzberg.

It's little more than 20 minutes and you should use your headphones while listening cause i naturally used the in-ear microphones which results in some kind of surround sound recording. You can exactly hear from which direction the sound emerged.

Another use of this recording could be to use it as some background noise which you could use while making a phone call with your parents who sent you to Berlin for your german language studies and you instead decided to go to Ibiza!

Worldcup2006 - ENergyCast #4

Went to check out the people partying at the “Fan Meile” on the “Strasse des 17. Juni” back here in Berlin for the match between Costa Rica and Germany which Germany won by 4 goals to 2.
What i encountered was the real worldcup spirit. People from all over the world watched the game together on the big screens and had a great afternoon.

Sonambiente2006 - ENergyCast #3

In our last Sonambiente-podcast you could check out some recording we did at Kurfuerstendamm. Today it's about time to present an "intermedia installation" called "Die Gruene Hoelle" (the green hell) by multimedia artist Bernhard Gal. He deals with the worldcup - starting today - in a sound artist's way. Enjoy the video over here!

Sonambiente2006 - ENergyCast #2

sonambiente berlin 2006 is summer in berlin set to music for the eyes and ears. Installations, objects, performances, happenings visual art, sound art, video, new media, radio art, film: from June 1st to July 16th, for the second time since 1996, over 40 internationally known artists and some 20 up-and-coming art school talents make the metropolis reverberate with sound.

At five central venues and many other exciting locales, sonambiente berlin 2006 generates an extensive network of events throughout the centre of Berlin.

Though we are more interested in this outstanding and one of it's kind event (than the worldcup) we did some serious preparation and brainstorming on the several possible ways to do some good coverage. One "weapon of choice" is our podcast aka ENergyCast which you can check out by following this link
