A CHANGE IS GONNA COME

January 31st, 2011

January went pretty fast. So here’s our February pin up drawn by Edoardo Ricci and designed by Muscle Head Studioz, our graphic division.
Many things will happen this month. Check our upcoming events page, some are announced and some others not yet, so please check the page in the next days to get updated of what the Burp Enterprise collective is up to.
Volcanian Greetings Folks!
yours Mat Pogo

MAT POGO AT RADIO K’BVH;B

January 28th, 2011


Saturday january 29th Mat Pogo will be broadcasted by radio k’bvh;b at 9 p.m. Berlin time doing a vocal live set ++shuffling through records and archives of burpenterprise

+ Partner: Galeria Plan B

+ Date: 28 – 30 January 2011: The broadcast will start on the 28 January and will end on the 30 January

+ radio k’bvh;b is a three day experimental radio station marathon: 72 hours of playful subversions, aural conversations and hybrid mutations through which radio’s inherent capabilities, specificities and limits will be tested out and the medium’s vitality and significance reasserted.  Amongst boundless technological shifts and innovations concurrently being played out in the sphere of recording and direct distribution platforms (live/ recorded, mediated/unmediated file sharing and self-broadcasting) radio art’s currency as an avant-garde tool for charting out new experiential territories seems to be at stake. We wish to address this by focusing our attention on radio’s polyphonic possibilities, immediacy, real – imaginary space/time conjuration properties, sonic sensibilities and listening habits.

+ the broadcast programme will include:

/// radio experiments around ideas of ‘liveness’, interaction and medium translation which would involve amongst other things: simultaneous broadcasts of listener sent material regarding their current aural conditions as listeners of the radio programme at a certain moment in time and in a certain physical location, collaborators translating different experiences from Berlin/London/elsewhere into writing and sound;

/// hybrid forms such as film/ sculpture/ drawing/ writing/ abstract idea as radio/sound art;

/// sound collages, soundscapes, feedback experiments, concrete poetry, electroacoustic and experimental music;

/// a series of open performances taking place in the broadcasting studio which will further explore ways of participation and the limits of radio.

today saturday 29th on radio k’bvh;b

I’M USING A CHICKEN TO MEASURE IT – A TRIBUTE TO FRANK ZAPPA

open since the beginning of december at Hunchentoot Galery in Choriner Str. 8 – 10119 Berlin

with works of Pit Noack, Stefan Roigk, Oliver Schmidt, Heidrun Schramm and Nicolas Wiese

Frank Zappa wäre am 21.12.2010 siebzig Jahre alt geworden. Aus diesem Anlaß zeigt die Galerie Hunchentoot eine Gruppenausstellung mit Arbeiten von Pit Noack, Stefan Roigk, Heidrun Schramm, Oliver Schmidt und Nicolas Wiese. Die durch das Medium der Klanginstallation verbundenen Künstler greifen die von Zappa als “Sandwich-Technik” bezeichnete Vorliebe für eklektizistische Montagen und Dekonstruktion auf und erarbeiten gemeinsam eine offene Form aus individuellen Bezügen und Verweisen zur Person Zappas und seinem vielfältigen Werk. In einer gemeinsamen Collage aus vier individuellen Einzelpositionen inszenieren die Künstler mit den Medien Comic, Collage, Diaprojektionen und vor allem Sounds eine Situation, in der sich die eigenständigen Arbeiten mit harten Schnitten zwischen Fahrradklängen, groteskem Gegacker, Gitarrensoli, Notationssystemen und Gesellschaftsutopie ganz in der Tradition Zappas zu einem Werk zwischen Komposition und Improvisation vereinigen. Die Ausstellung wird im Januar 2011 Teil des DAS-Weekend der Transmediale sein.

Zwei Konzerte am 11.12.2010 und am 12.02.2011 erweitern das Programm. Der Eintritt ist frei!

11.12.2010, 19:00 Uhr: KONZERTE
Olaf Hochherz und Christian Kesten
Die beiden Musiker erzeugen mit alltäglichen Mitteln und unglaublich leiser Musik eine absolut fesselnde Spannung.

12.2.2011, 19:00 Uhr: ROCK GESTURE
Mat Pogo & Nicolas Wiese sowie Tom Smith & Pit Noack als Three Resurrected Drunkards
Beide Duos bewegen sich im Spannungsfeld aus vorbereiteter Struktur und fliessendem Chaos und verbinden energetisch treibende Musik mit gebrochenem bis stark theatralischem Gesang.

Experimental turntablist Ignaz Schick will guide participants through the manifold and rich history of experimental turntablism and its various techniques & approaches. He will give a short introduction into the history of turntablism, presenting various styles from musique concrete, fluxus, plunderphonics/downtown noise, onkyo, etc. and will demonstrate various techniques behind those approaches. This is a practical hands on workshop with a final concert of the ensemble.

material section:
we will try to provide basic tools & a few record players for the workshop. it is wise if you bring your own turntable or inform us if you have no access to a personal record player. try to also bring something like 5-10 cheap flee market vinyls of various format (7? to 12?) which you dont worry about if being damaged and heavily. try to bring your own needles or system or take into account that damaged needles have to be refunded/replaced and that material costs are roughly about 25-30 Euros per needle. general material fee without broken needles: 15 Euro
