Well my friends (and foes, if only I had some), the time has come and my Radio Play about radiation will finally art over actual radio waves on Friday the 15th of April. This seems fitting since it is about war (particularly in Ukraine), nuclear radiation, nuclear war and paranoia (proliferated over radio waves). And pardon me for playing Cassandra but the thing backdates to 2015, when I was just a fear mongering paranoic with too many drugs in my system. I would have preferred to remain wrong and crazy but it seems history has caught up with me and my reality and decided to become even crazier than I was back then.

So happy listening to DJ Richard Sylvarnes and him donating his whole show to my play. It might have some uncomfortable side effects though, like hair loss, vomiting, disorientation, and a general despair and total loss of hope in humanity. Listener discretion is advised.

Me and my buddies on bandcam

Since I am to lazy and arrogant and can’t be bothered at least promoting my own stuff i have to instrumentalise others to do it for me. And so it is up to the real nice and sympathetic people of this world (looking at you Klaus Killisch) to do it for me. I would have loved to be better, more motivated and less of a misanthrope, but as the great philosopher Michael Philip Jagger once said: „You can’t always get what you want“. Welp, at least someone had pity on me and put those thigs on bandcamp. I would argue that their stuff is worth it (mine not so much) but you form your own opinion.

So go and take a listen: phaenos @ bandcamp

Do it for their sake, not mine, and you might find some things that please or disturb your ears. And you can even buy the stuff there.

MK_ultra on Crookit Dreams Episode 47

I have had the great honor of being invited to Crookit Dreams Episode 47 – Klangfarbe (DJ Richard Sylvarnes with Klaus Killisch)

As always a great pleasure to deal with those two… Such interesting music too. Listen to it and get an idea of what good music and interesting sounds there are around once you leave the realm of mind-numbing mainstream musac.

What i’ve been up to – hint: my love of cinema(s)

OK, so I’ve been away for some time now. But i was busy writing, producing, directing and editing my passion project, so that’s that. And i has no English subs either (for now) so this is what you get (for now).

This is the story of Germany’s oldest remaining family operated cinemas. Located in the south-west of a region called Saarland (Sarre), it has been in operation since 1919 and it was / is the movie theatre of my childhood (I grew up in that small village it is situated). Later when I studied cinema i went out into the world, first Brussels then Berlin, but I always left a tiny bit of my heart in that most magical of all places.

This was the premiere of my documentary on the 100th anniversary of its first projection and just before the pandemic hit (them hard too). But Familie Müller kept going and pushed through these hard times like so many times before.

So if by any chance you get to Schmelz / Saar, go watch a movie in that wonderful place of flickering dreams and don’t forget to say hello for me.

“before the fuck”, social glitch, 4000x3000px, 2012 – ongoing

Sometimes, no need for glitching, society glitches all by itself. Some call this post privacy art…
“before the fuck” is an ongoing series of digital stills taken from porn sites and chat pages in that particular moment, when the user / actor leaves the room and us with that distinctive feeling of loneliness and bleak despair. It is a look inside the sadness and harshness of modern day sexuality when confronted with ‘the market’.

Oath of Stone Oak is a collaboration between poet Robert Fitterman and visual artist Theodore Darst. For the text, Oath of Stone Oak borrows fragments from metal song lyrics that refer to Nature. For the images, Darst employs a variety of digital collage production modes to amplify a similar vernacular of decay, nature, consumption and destruction.

„Identity“ I-III – new xerography

Identification, the service of identifying, certifying Identity that is, remains one of the fiercest battles being fought within this modern day internet. As Google, facebook, Yahoo, Apple and others strive to collect this prize, this Holy Grail, this remedy for that dangerous sickness that is anonymity, they use all the dirty tricks within the repertoire of modern day market street fight. Anonymity was one of the strongest arguments for and one of the most powerful motors of the evolution of modern means of communication. And it has always been a thorn in the side of potentates, structures and autocratic systems. Anonymity is the sworn enemy of power and the natural ally of freedom. And as our features are being scanned and stored in databases, correlated with our habits, needs and darkest secrets, we may loose a quintessential feature of our humanity, our real identity as humans, what Martin Luther meant when he wrote his famous song “Die Gedanken sind frei”:

“Thoughts are free, who can guess them?
They fly by like nocturnal shadows.
No man can know them, no hunter can shoot them
with powder and lead: Thoughts are free!”

As Elizabeth I. of England famously put it, she had no “…desire to make windows into men’s souls”; well now we do.
