Ambient Techno is my Friend.

Everything But Bored

I'm keeping myself busy, not necessarily with important things though. *cough*

It's pretty sure I'll be getting a flat in the house Markus lives in. The one I want is slightly larger, a little prettier, has a stove (that might explode upon wrong use, ha) and costs €5's more. I like it. A lot. Moving in for July should work too. Exciting!

Regarding a job, to be honest, I have yet to actively look for one. So far I've only used a few of my apparently excellent contacts (in the not so distant past, I was told several times by different people how odd it is that I know so many people everywhere) to ask at several companies if they need some help (with anything). Wish me luck :)

Most of the time, I'm enjoying myself here. Should change that a little, I guess? However, I've attended my first demonstration, which happend to be for Yorck 59:

Markus took me for a "little" 4 or 5 hour walk in a nearby forrest:

I took him to Gob Squad's Me the Monster. It was a lovely performance, despite it's "frightening" name. They handed out a questionare before the show, to find out what monster everyone is, to later explain what exactly that means. The monster descriptions where surprisingly accurate, at least for me and Markus. Yes, I admit, I do believe in love, as kitschy and unrealistic this may sound. Thank you for making me remember that.

Last but not least, we went to see Simon Bookish and Leafcutter John (whom I've missed in Vienna last year, according to him an awful show anyway) at the Zentrale Randlage. Both performances were very nice, if not to say inspiring:

The thing you can barely see in the picture is a Slinky, modified to emit some electronic signals picked up by the iBook, which then transforms it to sound (via Max/MSP?) that resembles a storm heard from a hut. At least, that's how I perceive/imagine it. I've caught it on video.

Metroblogging activities continue as well: I posted my first article for Berlin today. I hope to get flamed.

Now that was one huge catch-up entry.
