		02.08.03 - parking lot Speicher 9 - 18:00 boomcar concert music for lowriders The basic principle of the audio drive-ins is the broadcasting of a multi-channel electronically generated sound piece. The separated sounds are each broadcasted by a mini-FM transmitter. Cars, gathered on a specific location (parking lot, town square, driveway), pick up the individual channels on their car stereos. By amplifying the sounds they re-create the sound piece, by their individual behaviour they take over part of the role of the composer. In Stralsund the boomcar concert takes place during of the Powerboat Formel 1 in the harbour area. The Dutch sound artist and musician Sasker Scheeder introduces together with the musician Radboud Mens the project audio Drive-In and plays together with several guests a concert set. All small and big boomcars, car hifi freaks and sound fetishists are invited to come. The more participating cars the more impressive the concert. Radboud Mens (NL) Radboud Mens is a sound-artist from Amsterdam whose work is rooted in and continues to develop within the broadest definition of contemporary music. While his interest in the physical effects of sound on the body gave him a preference for noise in his early work, his later music has contributed to the development of minimal-techno, glitch and experimental dub. Mens uses electronic technology to render audible microscopic sound processes. His sound world is in a constant state of spatial and temporal flux, and incorporates found sound and influences from the media. > http://www.radiantslab.com/rat/ Sasker Scheerder (NL) Sasker Scheerder is an Amsterdam-based media-artist particularly working with sound in time-based configurations. Over the years he has developed a strong interest in the strategical use of mini-FM in a performance-related way. His most renowned projects in this field are the so-called »audio drive-ins«.
		followed by prove good taste! De Bar music and cocktails at your own risk De Bar is not a Dutch art work, but a sometimes almost nightmarish, but always charming insight into the little universe of Meeuw and Helgi, with nice music and stylish cocktails, hand-mixed by the artists themselves, in an appropriate ambience. De Bar is always new and always different from what you expect. 1. Meeuw (NL) Meeuw (aka Jos Moers) is artist and label founder (meeuw muzak) in Amsterdam. > http://www.meeuw.net/ 2. Helgi Thorsson (NL/Iceand) performance (*1975), Reykjavik Iceland. Works and lives in Holland. Also member of the experimental music band Stilluppsteypa since 1992. The band has been active in releasing and performing around the world. Collaborations with other artists: Andrew McKenzie (The Hafler Trio), Matt Wand (Stock,Hausen & Walkman), Ryoji Ikeda, Hanayo, Andy Diagram, as well as making a major multimedia performance in collaboration with Icelandic artist Magnus Palsson, commissioned by Reykjavik, cultural city of Europe 2000. 3. Paska (FIN) performance After what was Mr Paska's (that's »Shit« to you) only the second live show - ten intense minutes of yelling the words of assorted »classics« to one mic and spewing forth »guitar-imitating« voices to another - Bad Vugum knew that nobody else would have the »common« sense to offer this skinheaded maniac a recording contract. Much to everyone's surprise he became something of a national celebrity and a TV star, and pursued his high-flying career elsewhere. True art, if you ask us. 4. Felix Kubin (Hamburg/D) performance His activities comprise Sci-Fi Pop/Noise/animation films/radio plays/experimental broadcasting. As the messenger of exploding lungs he started his label »Gagarin Records« in 1998 and rules the »syndicate of counter-noise« since 1999. His experiences both in electroacoustic music and strange electronic pop (that he followed already in the early 80ies with his notorious band »Die Egozentrischen Zwei« - released as »the Tetchy Teenage Tapes of Felix Kubin« on SKIPP and A-Musik) induced him to launch a vinyl record label for all kinds of Dada-electronics on the edge of pop and experimental music. > http://www.felixkubin.de 5. Kein Babel - You must not do this with records! (Berlin/D) Kein Babel use turntables, CD players, MD players, live radio and a contemporary computer. Their goal is far from exploiting all technical possibilities that these media offer but rather the shallow handling of their smooth surfaces. Their focus is set on lovely loops, colourful breaks, blind cuts and nonsensical scratchings - no mannerisms allowed! Do these artists follow strict concepts? A thankful question - but it must be denied. Kein Babel do not care about achieving something. It is the obstacles that matter, the obstacles that constantly have to be overcome and pushed aside to meet unexpected new ones and battle these again with the recycled rest of the earlier ones. That does not necessarily mean Kein Babel have no control of the musical output but, surely, it must be admitted that things seemingly fall apart at random, lose touch with their roots and vaporize into heavy particles of buried sound. Intensity seems a strong parameter in their live performances. But what is intensity without its brutal opponents? We'd better talk of breathtaking variations on incredible speed and slothful slowness, of hypermacho strength and inhumane weakness. > http://www.keinbabel.com
