Interview with Alexander Hacke and Danielle de Picciotto ! Part 4  hackedepicciotto are Alexander Hacke and Danielle de Picciotto. Both are legends of their own making: Danielle de Picciotto moved to Berlin in 1987, to become the lead singer of the band „Space Cowboys“, the co-initiator of the Love Parade, a collaborator of the Ocean Club with Gudrun Gut, and Alexander's partner in crime. Alexander Hacke is founding member and bass player of Einstürzende Neubauten. The artist couple, romantically married in 2006, has creatively interacted with countless international projects for almost 2 decades now besides regularly releasing their own compositions. Their live shows are, to put it mildly, intense. Danielle specializes in unusual instruments such as the Hurdy Gurdy, the auto harp and the cemence besides playing the violin and piano; Alexander is master of the bass, guitar and drums. Together they create beautiful, existentialistic, acoustic soundscapes, which roar and vibrate simultaneously leaving their audiences shaken but overjoyed. Danielle, author of two books, writes most of their lyrics, be it the poetic spoken word moments or the momentous choirs they compose together. Alexander Hacke, an excellent throat singer and vocalist, growls his grnarly, rumbling cries that float eerily over their nomadic desert drones, with screeching birds, bees or wild wind accompanying slow, heavy riffs that start as a whisper and end in a volcanic, rolling wave of apocalyptic frenzy. The collage of this mixed with melancholic, translucent harmonies, very heavy & low bass chords, and electronics are a mesmerizing universe of sound and emotion which has generated an ever growing group of enthusiastic listeners. The Best of hackedepicciotto (Live in Napoli) showcases live interpretations of music from across their career. The album includes reinterpretations of tracks from all of their studio albums: Keepsakes (2023), a tender exploration of friendship and loss, The Silver Threshold (2021), their defiant reaction to the pandemic, Perseverantia (2016), which dealt with the artists nomadic lifestyle, Menetekel (2017), which embodies their collective despair at the state of the world, and powerful energy of The Current (2020), recorded by the Irish Sea.

Alexander is a founding member of the hugely influential experimental group, Einstürzende Neubauten, who he joined back in 1980 at the age of just 15 Danielle, an American-born artist, musician and filmmaker met Alexander in 1987 shortly after arriving in Berlin, the couple who first started making music together in 2001. We discuss the recording of The Best of hackedepicciotto (Live in Napoli) which came out last year on the always excellent Mute record label  https://www.hackedepicciotto.de https://mute.com/artists/hackedepicciotto/

The Best of HackedePicciotto (Live in Napoli) is Alexander Hacke and Danielle De Pictiotto's newest release showcasing live interpretations of music from across their career. The album includes reinterpretations of tracks from all of their studio albums: Keepsakes (2023), a tender exploration of friendship and loss, The Silver Threshold (2021), their defiant reaction to the pandemic, Perseverantia (2016), which dealt with the artists nomadic lifestyle, Menetekel (2017), which embodies their collective despair at the state of the world, and powerful energy of The Current (2020), recorded by the Irish Sea. For over 20 years Alexander Hacke (Einstürzende Neubauten) and artist, musician and filmmaker Danielle de Picciotto (co-founder of Love Parade) have been developing and evolving a symbiotic working practise together, with a deep intuition of the kind that has distinguished a rare number of creative and romantic partnerships – think of the writers Joan Didion and John Gregory Dunne, the artists Lee Miller and Man Ray or heroes of independent filmmaking, Gena Rowlands and John Cassavetes – each partnership underlined by a creative equality that allowed both artists freedom to explore and expand.    https://www.Instagrm.com/hackedepicciotto https://www.Facebook.com/hackepicciotto  https://www.hackedepicciotto.bandcamp.com  Website: https://www.hackedepicciotto.de   Music Matters with Darrell Craig Harris is sponsored by Shure Microphones.

Today's guests teach me things; specifically symbolism in music. It's one of those things that I always feel everyone else gets more than I do. So I was beyond happy to have Alexander Hacke, Danielle DePicciotto, and Raven Chacon guide me through their experiences creating work heavy in symbolism. And we go beyond music into visual arts, as well. Hackedepicciotto have released a new album that is full of symbolic music. But the symbolism in Keepsakes is much more personal, this time. Raven discusses his connection to John Cage, growing up listening to Navajo songs and heavy metal. And Alexander explains the three layers of symbolism. And all three guests tell me how far the symbolism can go, even extending to the intended audience. Give them all a follow on social media @hackedepicciotto and @ravenchcn on Instagram. Pick up the album from Mute Records or on Bandcamp. Check out hackedepicciotto.de for more info. Check out Raven's past work and stay up to date on new pieces at spiderwebsinthesky.com.

Berlin-based avant-garde duo hackedepicciotto have returned with Keepsakes, their fifth full length studio album. Keepsakes is the duo's second album released on Mute, and was recorded at one of Europe's oldest recording spaces, the Neapolitan studio Auditorium Novecento. Inspired by the space, which was home to Caruso and Morricone, the new compositions feature tubular bells and a grand piano within their signature sound of a symphonic drone.   hackedepicciotto are Alexander Hacke and Danielle de Picciotto. Both are legends of their own making: Danielle de Picciotto moved to Berlin in 1987, to become the lead singer of the band „Space Cowboys“, the co-initiator of the Love Parade, a collaborator of the Ocean Club with Gudrun Gut, and Alexander's partner in crime.

Alexander Hacke & Danielle de Picciotto in conversation with David Eastaugh https://www.hackedepicciotto.de/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcpB_TGQIOg hackedepicciotto – Alexander Hacke & Danielle de Picciotto – have announced details of a new album, Keepsakes, set for release on vinyl, CD and digitally on 28 July 2023. The album will precede a European tour – first dates announced below, with more to follow.   For over 20 years Alexander Hacke (Einstürzende Neubauten) and artist, musician and filmmaker Danielle de Picciotto (co-founder of Love Parade) have been developing and evolving a deeply intuitive and symbiotic working practice and creative partnership, and on the new album, Keepsakes, that has manifested into their most intimate release so far. “It might be a cliched phrase, but this is a very personal album,” says Alexander Hacke, Danielle de Picciotto explains, “we usually sing about universal themes, like the fate of mankind, but this time it's about our personal lives.” 

Alexander Hacke was born in Berlin. A musician from the start, he joined Einstürzende Neubauten in 1980 at the age of 14,  as well as playing in numerous influential underground-groups and writing, recording, releasing and performing music under the pseudonym Alexander von Borsig. Throughout the eighties and up to the present Alexander has collaborated with many artists and continues to produce records and score music for theater, feature and documentary movies. Since 2001 Alexander has been collaborating with American artist Danielle de Picciotto who was a singer in the band Space Cowboys. In 2015 he put out his autobiography KRACH - Verzerrte Erinnerungen.

Danielle de Picciotto is an American born, interdisciplinary artist, living in Berlin since 1987. She was the co-founder of the Berlin Love Parade and has performed and exhibited internationally since 1989 together with Crime &The City Solution, Gudrun Gut, The Space Cowboys and her husband Alexander Hacke, founding member of Einstürzende Neubauten. Danielle has released two books, writes regular essays for culture magazines and is known for her intricate spoken word interwoven into her music. She plays the violin, hurdy gurdy and autoharp but has also always been part of the electronic music scene. Her music combines both worlds in a dreamy, experimental and unique fashion. As the interdisciplinary artist that she is, her art, which she exhibits and installs internationally, also accompanies her music as fantastic, interwoven visuals morphing drawings into strange shapes and forms.

Presenter Tom Service visits Blackpool to explore the iconic seaside town's rich musical history and learn more about the energy of a musical ecosystem famed for its ballrooms, dance bands, and Wurlitzer organs; to hear from the those responsible for creating new musical opportunities for the area's residents and visitors; and to speak those nurturing the next generation of musicians from across the town. Tom starts at the world-famous Tower Ballroom, where he hears organist Phil Kelsall after his turn at the Wurlitzer Organ. He also tours the wider Blackpool area with Andrew White, Head of Blackpool Music Hub, who tells Tom about his organisation's work to break down the barriers that often exist in providing all children with access to musical instruments as well as giving them memorable opportunities to perform in Blackpool's many entertainment venues. Music Director Helen Harrison also joins Tom to discuss the role of Blackpool Symphony Orchestra and its place at the heart of the town's musical community. Tom speaks to luminaries of Blackpool's long tradition in band music, including David Windle, who directed the Tower Circus Band, as well as Bandleader Albie Hilton, and discusses the legacy of music making within the town's dance circuit. And, local resident Elaine Smith reminisces about tripping the light fantastic in Blackpool's many dance halls. We've contributions, too, from Blackpool brethren including singer Alfie Boe and the singer-songwriter Rae Morris, eavesdrop on the George Formby Society convention, and talk to the visiting guitarist Alexander Hacke reflects on how the town inspired his experimental band Einsturzende Neubauten while recently recording their new album on location.

Vom 12.05. bis 14.05.2022 findet wieder im FEZ das Superbooth-Festival statt. Superbooth ist Europas größte Fachmesse für elektronische Musikinstrumente. Es finden aber auch Workshops, Gespräche, Performance und nicht zuletzt spannende Konzerte statt. In diesem Jahr u.a. mit Daniel Miller & Gareth Jones, atom tm, Lisa Morgenstern und St. Raumen. Olaf Zimmermann begrüßt in der ersten "elektro beats"-Stunde den Festival-Organisator und -Kurator Andreas Schneider als Studiogast mit einer Vorschau auf diese drei Tage. Bevor Alexander Hacke demnächst mit den "Einstürzenden Neubauten" auf Tournee geht, schaut er in der zweiten "elektro beats"-Stunde vorbei. Im Fokus steht die limitierte Doppel-Vinyl-Veröffentlichung "Borsigwerke". Das sind Titel, die er vor 40 Jahren unter dem Namen "Alexander von Borsig" auf Kassetten und EP veröffentlicht hat. In dieser zweiten Stunde erzählt er zahlreiche, spannende Geschichten rund um die Entstehung dieser historischen Aufnahmen.

Einstürzende Neubauten blev dannet i det daværende Vestberlin i 1980, da de to kunstnere Blixa Bargeld og N.U. Unruh gik sammen for at erklære krig mod konventionel musik, som en del af kunstbevægelsen Geniale Dilletanten.Bevæbnet med vinkelslibere, boremaskiner, slagværktøj og massevis af metalaffald, fik de sammen med Alexander Hacke, F.M. Einheit og Mark Chung, skabt deres eksperimentelle og industrielle udtryk. Prikken over i'et var forsanger Blixa Bargelds karakteristiske vokal og hårrejsende skrig. Det var sågar også i de vilde 80'ere, at Einstürzende Neubauten forsøgte at rive Ungdomshuset ned, hvilket endte med et flækket øjenbryn og en tur på skadestuen for N.U. Unruh. "De var ekstreme i nogle år, og så begynder der at komme en anden form for kompositionsteknik indover, og så bliver musikken mere roligt i udtrykket," lyder det fra Klaus Lynggaard. I 2020 kunne Einstürzende Neubauten fejre 40 års jubilæum med The Year Of The Rat turnéen, der på grund af coronapandemien er blevet udskudt af to omgange og først afholdes i år, som The Year Of The Tiger tour. Det er i denne anledning, at vores to værter gennemgår nogle af deres favorit numre.

On this episode of Side Projects, I am joined by Alexander Hacke and Danielle de Picciotto of hackedepicciotto and Ellen Southern and Tom Bush from Dead Space Chamber Music to talk about Musique Concrète. We discuss what it is and how each of them discovered the genre and how it has influenced the music they make. They've each used some strange instruments to create their own Musique Concrète, including a jet turbine and a serrated knife on a stone. It really is amazing how repurposing objects to make Musique Concrète can actually give them a new life. And sometimes Musique Concrète is created by accident, like when a flute has the wrong mouthpiece. And other times, repairing an instrument can actually ruin the qualities that you want for Musique Concrète. Recording the music can be part of the process of creating the desired sound. But you have to be ready because sometimes you only get one take. Follow hackedepicciotto on the socials @hackedepicciotto. Follow Dead Space Chamber Music @deadspacechambermusic.

In dieser "elektro beats"-Ausgabe waren Hackedepicciotto zu Gast. Hackedepicciotto ist das gemeinsame Musikprojekt von Danielle de Picciotto und Alexander Hacke. Beide mit einer sehr langen, spannenden, musikalischen und künstlerischen Vita. Gemeinsam mit Olaf Zimmermann stellten sie ihr neues Album "The Silver Threshold" vor, sprachen über dessen Entstehung und die Geschichte der einzelnen Songs. Themen waren aber auch die aktuelle Berliner Ausstellung von Danielle de Picciotto, ihr Nomadentum als Künstlerpaar, ihre Buchveröffentlichungen, die Bedeutung des Plattentitels, die Einstürzenden Neubauten ... und vieles mehr.

Streiten geht gar nicht. Ach wirklich? Die Künstlerpaare, mit denen die Schriftstellerin Sandra Hoffmann gesprochen hat, streiten sich oft und heftig. Aber das ist für die meisten kein Problem - im Gegenteil. Die Fähigkeit, sich sehr bewusst auseinander zu setzen, ist vielleicht sogar das Geheimnis einer langjährigen Beziehung. Sechs Künstler*innenpaare erzählen von ihren gemeinsamen Lebens- und Arbeitsbeziehungen. Wie haben sie sich kennengelernt? Wie leben und wie arbeiten sie miteinander? Welche Krisen haben sie durchgestanden? Was hat das für eine Bedeutung für ihre Beziehung? Die sechs Paare geben erstaunlich persönliche Einblicke in ihre künstlerische Arbeit und ihr Privatleben und verraten dabei das eine oder andere Beziehungsgeheimnis. Ein Feature von Sandra Hoffmann Mit: Florian Kreier, Sue Steinmassl, Eva, Adele, Katharina Adler, Benjamin Fröhlich, Danielle de Picciotto, Alexander Hacke, Christoph Peters, Veronika Peters, Lotte Lindner und Till Steinbrenner Technische Realisation: Regina Stärke Regie: Alexandra Distler Produktion: BR 2020 Verfügbar bis 30.09.2022. ndr.de/radiokunst

This year marks the fortieth anniversary of the release of Einstürzende Neubauten's first official LP Kollaps. To celebrate, we are joined by none other than Blixa Bargeld. Blixa talks about the making of Kollaps, as well as some of his major influences. Einstürzende Neubauten ("Collapsing New Buildings") is a German experimental music group, originally formed in West Berlin in 1980. The group is currently composed of founder members Blixa Bargeld (lead vocals; guitar; keyboard) and NU Unruh (custom made instruments; percussion; vocals), long-time contributor Alexander Hacke (bass; vocals), plus Jochen Arbeit (guitar; vocals), and Rudolph Moser (custom-built instruments; percussion; vocals), who both joined the line-up in 1997. One of their trademarks is the use of custom-built instruments, predominantly made out of scrap metal and building tools, and noises, in addition to standard musical instruments. Their early albums were unremittingly harsh, with Bargeld's vocals shouted and screamed above a din of banging and scraping metal percussion. Subsequent recordings found the group's sound growing somewhat more conventional, yet still containing many unorthodox elements. With the release of its debut album “Kollaps” in November 1981, EINSTÜRZENDE NEUBAUTEN declared war on all conventional listening habits. The album is actually an “inaudible” record; it is a frontal attack on expectations and ways of listening that has been blunted by mainstream sound. For lack of money, among other reasons, the range of instruments consisted of “found” and self-made objects, created from sheet metal and including drills, hammers, a “non-voice” that snatched shreds of German words from a text, and professional studio equipment, which was consistently used to undermine its actual technical purposes. This nonconformist mixture itself would become the foundation of a completely new understanding of music that would later influence countless artists, and would highly stylize the band's subsequent albums into milestones of the industrial scene. Join us as we look back, listen, and discuss Kollaps. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/esoterica-the-podcast/message

We are covering the new album “The Current” that is a must have for anyone who loves NON Radio played music. They are nomads who wander the earth, and that contributes to their music in ways you can't even imagine. As a bassist, I am speaking to a legend, and these guys are incredible.

I'm working on a piece, based on a scrunched up old lady in a mask, who gets mown down by a cyclist. She's the last old lady in Mitte, Berlin, after Apple smash down the old folks home to build their fourth reich. Does it need more?Today, I'm sharing a recording with the Irish author, Rob Doyle, in preparation of us performing on Wednesday (flyer below). Also some photos.It's my absolute pleasure to be the guest of the legendary Danielle De Picciotto, host of the Blood of A Poet nights at the Volksbuhne, and artist, musician - she has an incredibly inspiring exhibition here at the Neurotitan Gallery, where I'm staying with Gil De Ray. Here I am spinning around it like Kylie. More pictures of the work on Cold Lips' Insta.Find Danielle however you like to find people, and listen to her music, particularly the recent Hackedepicciotto album that I'm very happy to make a tincy appearance on.This residency finds me centre stage of my Eurodream school days, in Mitte, where I saw the wall between East and West ideals getting bashed down on TV in 1989. Made me grow up an optimist, as acid-house unity accelerated Everywhere thereafter. Now my native land makes me feel sick, gut shuddering in this last summer of Europe. I refreshed myself in German lakes, and the C-generation (Covid - thanks Martyn Goodacre) - will not know Europe as I have. They will not know what democracy was, or a world not stressed by climate destruction. As artists are called ‘unviable' by the British government, it gives me great pleasure to become more of one.I cannot thank Danielle De Picciotto for the kindest love, and also husband, Alexander Hacke (of the seminal noise group, Einsturzende Neubauten, and former boyf to one of the worst role models a young girl could have, Cristiane F.) He and Gil De Ray have been bonding, and it's all very cute. Das residency is very 90s - I find different street art and graffiti or stickers each day - after the street tours start downstairs. I have explored the countryside, enjoyed a Fat White Family secret show, seen great art in organised pavilions, and received much love for the poetry book I pulled together to bring here, but also to finish a phase, as the recordings of some of that work are coming…my band with Gil, called Vagrant Lovers - they feature Danielle on violin, and the one and only Malik Crumpler Ameer in response to my words. The first tracks are Ghosts of St Leonards, and Temple. I'm sharing them on October 31, and November 5. My heart is drifting free, encapsulating a story here, more than writing it, sometimes it's about the detours. Winter will allow those words to freeze over the page, as I get my teeth into the new job as Managing Editor at Ambit. In the meantime - I hope you enjoy all this mail sends you. This photo is by Jason McGlade.For your reference, I'm including the intro to the podcast script below…And finally - thank you, to paying subscribers. Without you, I'd not have published Now Is Now, my poetry since 007, and more - it's great to have it stocked here at Neurotitan in Berlin, but also coming soon to Rough Trade in London. If you've not received your book, let me know - unless we've been in touch - and I'll be posting soon.My debut novel was supposed to be out this week, but Covid. And what is life but enjoying the detours? Stay strong, beautiful, and I will send fiction again soon, and recommendations for more. x ScriptINTRO:This is Kirsty Allison in Berlin, on a balcony in the east, looking down towards the spree river with Berghain between.  I'm sitting with Rob Doyle, the author of my favourite book so far this year, Threshold.   It's published in the UK and the US by Bloomsbury, so he takes throne as a leader in a new school of  digital existentialist modernists, who take a post-millenial ego, and ask questions about the Author's physical space on the page.It's a very self-conscious play, to be so self-aware of one's musings as the main act of writing, that it becomes centre stage of a story, that riffs like Sun Ra between the realities of floating self-aware on a dinghy on a sea of cosmic pulp simulacras.  The novel is always new, if it's doing it right - it's playing with something - doing something that's not been said before.  So in a Covid world - as fire tornadoes burn increasing street miliitias, and power struggles can be witnessed in the death scroll -  there's a new wave of The Author reflecting from a stage you recognise, as they explain What It All Means like academics, ingraining themselves to the page, channelling the white light, aware of the ironies of self from all sides of the prism.  Certainly that's the stuff I've been reading of late.  Some of the writers come out demonstrating their problems, and personal privileges, or lack of them - so to get to the end of the pages, still liking the writer - is enigmatic, and masterful.Rob Doyle is very tall, he appears at the door wearing a black polo neck and black pegs, looking total jazznik, because later tonight he'll be on stage with a strain of the Fat White Family in Neukolln, playing percussion at a reassuringly fun evening, where the super-spreading qualities of the flute can be ignored, as we travel in an alt reality, away from the claws that birthed us all.  Ex pat life, where universal globalisms of Me Too,  BLM, Terf-wars, squish in the Q-Anon malestrom of denial and manipulations of the maleducated grip for sense and logic mean the novel has not felt as relevant and required in counterculture in my lifetime.I remember Tessa Williams, one of my first editors, urgently passing me a copy of Trainspotting - its silver-skull cover becoming the book of the 90s.  Heroin chic rose as Britpop banged the national drum, as a kind of distraction from the government reclaiming 'their' streets after the Neo-hippy threat of people raving their lives away, hugging in fields, and driving away in buses, like the ones pictured in the second Cold Lips book, Whos F****n Planet by Martyn Goodacre.Threshold updates that cover, with a hologram, in an era where the individual is manipulated into the spectrum of hashtag identity politics, and good/bad - like/dislike polarisations mean we are the product, smashed beneath a data-driven duvet in a privatised society.  80% predictable, asking if that too is corrupted as any other statistic,the novel remains relatively data-proof, its nuance its strength, the unsearchable, between the lines facts being far truer than any single sentence or status update.OUTRO:Thanks for listening.  I'm making this on Sunday 27 September in Berlin.  The music is by Gil De Ray.  We're on a residency in Mitte at the Neurotitan Gallery as guests of the wonderful artist Danielle De Picciotto - whom you can hear a past conversation with in the trenches of all your favourite podcast outlets, via Anchor, Spotify, iTunes, many more, and our own coldlips.co.uk.  I also share these on kirstyallison.substack.com, where I gratefully send out thank yous of my new poetry book, Now Is Now, a collection since 007, to paying subscribers.  On Wednesday here, Rob Doyle joins me, Kirsty Allison, to perform in the gallery, with the writer and songwriter Kieran Leonard, of Saint Leonard - for a night of Modern Poetry.  There are currently some spaces remaining, it is limited, and doors will close at 7pm.  If you're not in Berlin, we will be streaming on social from Cold Lips, Danielle De Picciotto's and Gallery 46's Facebook and Instagrams.  Donations to artists are always appreciated.  But likely you'll be listening to this after, and I hope you'll find a recording of this memorable occasion.   The residency here has been wonderful - also come and support this space, Neurotitan - it's the last remanent of the joy of reunification between East and West Berlin.  After the wall fell in 1989, the free-for-all of the former no-man's land in the area known as Mitte was attained by squatters in buildings such as Tascheles, now largely a hotel (a model for Shoreditch's site of Red Gallery, that I wrote a book for), and Tresor nightclub in a former bank vault. Without records of previous families, lost in the war and partitioning, everything could be re-written. Neurotitan created a gallery space, bar, and arts spaces which remain underground, showing the works of Genesis P. Orridge, most quality street artists, and radical contemporary artists.  Danielle's show here is mainly work from the past 7 years - and I beg you to see it, buy it, support.And I know this is sounding like one long cultural shopping list, but Rob Doyle's book - Threshold, get it from an independent retailer, and keep an eye out for the forthcoming film version of his debut, This Is Ritual.

Einstürzende Neubauten with Blixa Bargeld in conversation with David Eastaugh  On 1st April 1980, Einstürzende Neubauten made its first appearance, at the Moon Club in West Berlin. This first lineup featured Beate Bartel and Gudrun Gut, Blixa Bargeld, and N.U. Unruh. The two female members, Bartel and Gut, left the band after a short period and founded Mania D. Shortly thereafter, Alexander Hacke (alias Alexander von Borsig), a sound technician and multi-instrumentalist who was 15 years old at the time, joined the band and became a longtime member. In 1981, the percussionist F.M. Einheit  joined Einstürzende Neubauten and it released its first LP, Kollaps, a mixture of rough punk tunes and industrial noises. The industrial noises were obtained from self-made music machines, electronics, and found objects such as metal plates. The live performances with Einheit in the 1980s included lots of metal banging and destruction on stage.

Jak zní politický manifest na novém albu dvoučlenné hudební armády Hackedepicciotto a na jaké novinky se mohou letos těšit fanoušci Einstürzende Neubauten?

This week we feature the group Hackedepicciotto. If that sounds familiar, it could be for a few reasons. Danielle dePicciotto was a guest on an earlier show. Or maybe you recognize Alexander Hacke, from Einstruzende Neubauten (I apologize to Alexander & Danielle for STILL not pronouncing that very well). We cover a lot of ground in this show, just like Alex & Danielle do in their daily lives; they’re literal nomads. They both have extensive, distinguished careers in music & art. So how did Nick Cave bring them together? What do Portishead & Beyonce mean to them? More importantly, how is their new album, The Current, a bit different from their previous work. Follow them @hackedepicciotto on social media. Follow us @PerformanceAnx. Subscribe, rate, review, share. You know you wanna. Now let’s get a little crazy with hackedepicciotto.

Berlin i 1980erne var en by splittet i to dele af en grå betonmur. Vestberlin lå som en ø midt i Østtyskland og her opstod en rå, kompromisløs og dybt nyskabende musikscene, hvoraf Einstürzende Neubauten blev det allermest indflydelsesrige orkester. Alexander Hacke fra Neubauten oplevede Murens fald på tæt hold i 1989. Lars Top-Galia fra Sort Sol tog tit til Berlins klubber og spillesteder. Hør de to kunstnere fortælle om tiden og miljøet fra dengang i en samtale modereret af journalist Erik Jensen fra Politiken. Samtalen er kurateret af Roskilde Bibliotekerne og optaget ved arrangementet 'Treffpunkt: Berlin' i anledning af 30-året for Murens fald.

Alexander Hacke joined the influential Einstürzende Neubauten shortly after the band’s formation in 1980. Gareth Jones worked at the iconic Hansa Tonstudio, adding an industrial edge to recordings by Depeche Mode and others. Their paths crossed when Jones contributed production to the Neubauten albums Halber Mensch and Fünf auf der nach oben offenen Richterskala. Here, Jones and Hacke discuss their work with Neubauten, Berlin in the ’80s and what it means to create a signature sound.

Oratorium nach John Miltons 'Paradise Lost' (1658-1665). Milton besingt in reimlosen Jamben den Verlust Edens und den Teufel als nicht gänzlich unsympathischen Anstifter dieses Sündenfalls. Bei Ammer und Einheit wechselt der hohe Stil des Gedichts mit der Lautstärke moderner Musik. Die Handlung erscheint hingegen heute so beiläufig wie eine surrealistische Soap-Opera. // Mit Anita Lane, Alexander Hacke, Günter Rüger, James Blood Ulmer / Manuskript, Komposition, Regie: Andreas Ammer, FM Einheit / BR 2004
