Beyond folklore clichés and Cold War discourse, below the radar of the
tastemaking music press, DIY, alternative, independent music scenes are
thriving in Central and Eastern Europe: from electronics and noise to
ironic-deconstructive takes on traditional and marginalized local
musical styles like Manele and Chalga.
The blog Easterndaze (easterndaze.net <http://easterndaze.net>) explores
and maps local DIY scenes operating in a digital realm, introduces the
creative personalities and collectives behind them and provides context.
The concert & film screening series *Easterndaze x Berlin: DIY Music
Topographies, *curated by Lucia Udvardyová, presents music collectives
from Budapest, Bucharest, Prague and Warsaw and pairs each of them with
groups from Berlin's diverse DIY scenes. The concert series takes place
at *silent green Kulturquartier*, a new cultural space situated in the
former crematorium Wedding. The collectives will also exhibit artefacts
of their unique visual identities such as flyers, covers and video
works. Documentary films linked to the musical acts and exploring DIY
music culture in various Eastern European cities and Berlin are
screening at *Lichtblick Cinema*. Easterndaze x Berlin brings together
the most interesting and idiosyncratic collectives and cultural
activists from Central /Eastern Europe and Berlin, such as Future
Nuggets (Bucharest), Christoph de Babalon (Berlin), WIDT (Warsaw),
Farbwechsel (Budapest), KETEV (Berlin), Praxis (Berlin) and many others.
The festival is a continuation of Easterndaze: DIY Music Topographies,
an exhibition and event series with alternative and underground
musicmakers organized for the OFF Biennale Budapest in 2015.
The closing night of Easterndaze x Berlin (October 3) is devoted to a
collaboration with *Christoph de Babalon*(Berlin) and *WIDT *(Warsaw).
De Babalon is a legend of Berlin's electronic underground, working with
Alec Empire's Digital Hardcore Recordings, creating a signature sound of
extreme complexity in construction and complete experimentation in form
that spans many electronic genres including noise, soundscapes, dark
ambient, drum and bass and breakcore. WIDT are two sisters who create
hypnotic tracks with pulsating rhythms glossolalic, operatic vocals and
colorful, psychedelic visuals with a VHS-like retro feel, created from
scratch in realtime. The evening will be complemented by the
presentation of visual artefacts of the anarchist music and media
collective *Praxis*.
Tickets EUR 8 (at the door)
