29 august das kleine field recordings festival, Berlin Xberg

[rinusvanalebeek]

On the last day of the festival we will be again in the garden. And I hope this time the haunting clouds won't chase us to the second floor. The guests of this evening are here to my pleasant surprise. Kate Donovan is here because she has to. At the last festival she presented the suite for three walkman: "post porn movie for 1". It is sunday and I still haven't heard from her. But I am sure she is on her way.

Carsten Stabenow I had spotted at the two premieres of the first two editions. As one of the creative forces behind the Staalplaat Sound System, he travels around the world. He who travels has many tales to tell, and lots of occasions to record new sounds.

On a compilation CD from gruenrekorder there is one track by Budhaditya Chattopadhyay. I approached him to ask if he was interested to join the long internetradio day. His answer was that he was coming to Germany in August. My reaction was to invite him to the festival. My pleasure and an honour to have him with us!

Peter Prautzsch came out of the blue. A good proof that the noble art of field recording is practiced by more people then we usually see in the fine venues here in Berlin. After Yehlin Lee, another artist to look forward to.
