Playing today ... Krang

As a teenage Science Fiction reader, I naturally stumbled across Alan Dean Foster's Flinx novels, beginning with the Tar-Aiym Krang. What a name! And what a civilization – different species cooperating in space, exploring, solving cosmic mysteries ... Of course, that had to be an inspiration. The IDM-electro influenced tracks created in 2004-2005 were perfectly suited to reflect that inspiration. Today and therefore, I give you "Krang". The cover shows the German Heyne edition of the book, precisely the version I read back in the day.

CRITICAL VOID Maximiliansforum Z'EV + Fragment King

On Wednesday, 24.07.2013 at 19:00 we performed CRITICAL VOID live after a very friendly introduction by Elisabeth Hartung of the Culture Offi...

URBAN EVOLUTION Performative Urbanism

Urban Evolution site specific performance from Mark Kammerbauer on Vimeo . Cities are examples of how building, destroying, and rebuilding occur over and over again. Such processes that can be triggered by crisis, disaster and other societal, political or market phenomena or actors. However, how can such processes become an experience to be perceived by others? Urban Evolution intends to answer this question within a performance in public space on the Theaterplatz square in Weimar, Germany, developed in the context of a research project at the Bauhaus Universität Weimar. By doing so we reimagined a quasi-historic process of cycles of rebuilding, demolition and rebuilding again and again that remains invisible unless some sort of signs indicate this process. European cities may actually be a case in point, considering wartime destruction and postwar modernist planning schemes that drastically altered historic cityscapes. Yet, while physical or social traces may remain, ...

Select tracks are previously unreleased. Original liner notes: anatomic music is a composition and recording project employing specific design strategies inherent in architectural design. for one, the origin of the compositions is an exploding singular moment in time unfolding itself outside its nontopological point of origin (the human brain) into the topological space surrounding any sound projection device. in...
