Kapitalismus ohne Überfluss                                                 Zur Kritik krisenbedingte Askeserhetorik und wachstumsskeptischer Anlageberatung

Vortrag von Jens Beckmann

Nach einer einleitenden Skizze der wichtigsten ökonomischen und diskursiven Verschiebungen im Zuge der Weltwirtschaftskrise wird Jens Beckmann in seinem Vortrag einen kurzweiligen Streifzug durch ausgewählte wachstumsskeptische Ratgeberliteratur unternehmen und den Sumpf trockenlegen, aus dem sich solche Expertisen versuchen, am eigenen Schopf zu ziehen.

Brian Harnetty

Brian Harnetty is a musician and artist from Ohio. His pieces transform found material (field recordings, transcriptions and historic recordings) into personal sound worlds. Harnetty juxtaposes archive recordings with his own piano, banjo and accordion and this odd co-existence generates a new poetic context for the bygone voices.

At this concert, he plays with Jeremy Woodruff, an american flutist/saxophonist now living in Berlin.

Birdcage Tombola

Birdcage Tombola is a solo, pop music project for voice, keyboards, canned strings, and electronic noodling from Thomas Meadowcroft (The Understated Brown). Separate speakers are used for each string part when playing live to produce a rich spatialised sound of discounted, canned strings.

Thomas has recently made some string arrangements also for the german group Tocotronic, which you should check out. As for this beautiful side project of his.

PROCESS is a 2 day festival focusing on the sound of systems. Terms like 'process-driven' and 'generative' are expanded to include live performances based on breath, a train-yard video that generates rhythms dynamically, and a large metal 'drop machine' which emulates electronics, with no electronics. The program features two evenings of live performances and new-media works, a workshop and a special internet commission.
