[rohrpost] East/West Unity goes Electronica - Easterndaze x Berlin Finissage October 3, 8 p.m. silent green Kulturquartier with Christoph de Babalon and WIDT

[Natalie Gravenor]

Beyond folklore clichés and Cold War discourse, below the radar of the 
tastemaking music press, DIY, alternative, independent music scenes are 
thriving in Central and Eastern Europe: from electronics and noise to 
ironic-deconstructive takes on traditional and marginalized local 
musical styles like Manele and Chalga.


The blog Easterndaze (easterndaze.net <http://easterndaze.net>) explores 
and maps local DIY scenes operating in a digital realm, introduces the 
creative personalities and collectives behind them and provides context. 
The concert & film screening series *Easterndaze x Berlin: DIY Music 
Topographies, *curated by Lucia Udvardyová, presents music collectives 
from Budapest, Bucharest, Prague and Warsaw and pairs each of them with 
groups from Berlin's diverse DIY scenes. The concert series takes place 
at *silent green Kulturquartier*, a new cultural space situated in the 
former crematorium Wedding. The collectives will also exhibit artefacts 
of their unique visual identities such as flyers, covers and video 
works. Documentary films linked to the musical acts and exploring DIY 
music culture in various Eastern European cities and Berlin are 
screening at *Lichtblick Cinema*. Easterndaze x Berlin brings together 
the most interesting and idiosyncratic collectives and cultural 
activists from Central /Eastern Europe and Berlin, such as Future 
Nuggets (Bucharest), Christoph de Babalon (Berlin), WIDT (Warsaw), 
Farbwechsel (Budapest), KETEV (Berlin), Praxis (Berlin) and many others. 
The festival is a continuation of Easterndaze: DIY Music Topographies, 
an exhibition and event series with alternative and underground 
musicmakers organized for the OFF Biennale Budapest in 2015.


The closing night of Easterndaze x Berlin (October 3) is devoted to a 
collaboration with *Christoph de Babalon*(Berlin) and *WIDT *(Warsaw). 
De Babalon is a legend of Berlin's electronic underground, working with 
Alec Empire's Digital Hardcore Recordings, creating a signature sound of 
extreme complexity in construction and complete experimentation in form 
that spans many electronic genres including noise, soundscapes, dark 
ambient, drum and bass and breakcore. WIDT are two sisters who create 
hypnotic tracks with pulsating rhythms glossolalic, operatic vocals and 
colorful, psychedelic visuals with a VHS-like retro feel, created from 
scratch in realtime. The evening will be complemented by the 
presentation of visual artefacts of the anarchist music and media 
collective *Praxis*.

Tickets EUR 8 (at the door)
