Octobird @ Tipsy Shuffled Arts

  • Beitrags-Kategorie:Live

Freund:innen!

Die Luft ist flüchtig – durchschneiden wir sie mit den Schwingen der Kunst – halten inne & die Luft an – und genießen gemeinsam einen angenehm chaotischen Querschnitt durch die Berliner Subkultur.

Unberechenbare Winde haben dafür gesorgt, dass unser Lieblingsfestival in diesem Jahr eine Pause macht. So hat es uns an einen wonnereich gepflasterten Stadtstrand, im Kiez zwischen Ostkreuz und der Frankfurter Allee, gespült… Am 4. und 5. August soll von dort aus vielfältiger Sound ertönen, zum Kopfkratzen und Ausrasten, während wir uns am Labsal der edlen Weinbeere berauschen, unter tanzenden Schatten ausruhen und letztlich begeistert – oder entgeistert – die Sonne unter dem Pflaster suchend, frei wandeln.

Wir laden euch herzlich dazu ein, unerschrocken auch im Tanz mit den Hyaden – uns diese Welt einzubilden.. stellt euch das mal vor! Jetzt, am Wochenende!

Bis dahin, herzlichst – eure Kill Royal Weinbar

Octobird and Vodor L Zeck on another “Tram Komputer” Journey

And yet again, me and my best mate Zeck sat down together to dig trough our archive of 8-Track Jams…
 
“This time Octobird went through the sessions that follow a more downtempo approach. Eleven chilled acid jams take you on a tram ride from Berlin-Marzahn to Flyarkivka.”
Al tracks recorded by Tram Komputer in FZ16-112.

Octobird live Soundtrack for “Stop Hekatombe”

  • Beitrags-Kategorie:Live

Wir laden euch herzlich zu unserem neuen Theaterstück ein!
Die Verlängerung der Autobahn, A100 bedroht das gesamte Bermudaviertel. Schon bald sollen wir alle verschwinden. Das 8KW, unsere Produktionstätte liegt auf der Schneise zukünftiger Zerstörung. Dieses Stück ist eine Kampfansage an die nostalgischen Pläne einer ergrauten, skrupellosen Stadtentwicklungspolitik. Es ist Zeit das opfern der Kultur zu stoppen!

AAAA100 – Stop Hekatombe!
8.7.23 Einlass 21:15
Kietzer Weg 8(8kw)

Wir freuen uns auf euren Besuch und eure Unterstützung!

I’ve spent the last few weeks more or less day and night putting together a soundtrack for this piece, which I’m going to perform live. I don’t want to give away too much, but the whole thing is pretty ambitious…in a fun way.

So put on your swimming trunks and come along!
But if you still can’t get off the sofa…we also stream live!

Octobird Salad #15 | Eddy Breaks

Well…let’s have some pre new years breaks, shall we?! I actually recorded the set for this episode of Octobird Salad a few weeks back while preparing for a gig I just played for the wonderful people from Eddy Breaks. They’re running a regular party series with some good old Drum’n’Bass vibes, ranging from the classic uptempo thing to Jungle styles and Dub stuff. This was quite a nice challenge, as I haven’t been playing these kind of tunes for quite some times but rather been swaying underneath 140bpm. But with the ongoing release trend of mixing house tunes with breaks I already had some tunes on my harddisk waiting to be played.

One thing said before you push that red button: if you rather prefer to listen to the original set I played at Eddy Breaks – The Darkest Days, you have the option to do so at:

There are a whole lot Sets from this and recent events, I highly recomment. It’s just a bit tricky to embed stuff from hearthis.at here, which is why I decided to tease this as a new Octobird Salad Episode.

Octobird Salad #14 | Dub Abstraxions

I’ve always maintained a very moody relationship with dub influenced music. I deeply admire all the ingredients: The circulating, stumbling drum patterns, the all-consuming tape echos and of course….bass! But the final implementation always carries the risk of ending up in cultural or musical cliches. With Dub Techno there often seems to be a far to narrow defined set of tools of echos and comb filters mixed with minimal techno put together somewhere in the late 90s. That’s why I felt much more successful discovering influences of dub in all kinds of musical directions.

The following collection of tracks is a rather weird one. I would totally agree with someone arguing that this isn’t really dub music. It’s not. But it carries a lot of the mindset of dub music as a ritual, hypnotizing art form. Less researched, more recovered from different corners of my music collection.
