September will see the release of a 4-track Telekaster tape on london-based My Dance The Skull, a lovely little publishing house focusing on art books, zines and audio cassettes. I reworked 4 tracks left over from the The Silent Anagram sessions, building two sides of 10 minutes each. The release will be entitled At How Many Beats Per Life and dives back into the more ambient-textured side of Telekaster, longer, drony, beatless pieces. The tape will be strictly limited and available from selected sellers as well as from the MDTS online shop. More Information as well as a few things to listen to are coming soon. In the meantime you might want to check out the label website or read an interview Mikhail Karikis (former subrosa-labemate) conducted with me, for the label website.

Vom 14.-22. August 2010 findet am Kottbusser Tor in Berlin erstmals das Fenster Front Festival statt, in den Räumlichkeiten der Theorie- und Praxisgemeinschaft Dr. Fahimi, unter dem Westgermany (Skalitzer Str. 133). Wir steuern dazu unsere Audio/Video-Installation Stadtwald bei, die am Mittwoch, 18. August, zwischen 21.30 und 23.30 Uhr als Loop auf der der U-Bahn zugewandten Fensterfront zu sehen sein wird. Der Ton wird über eine Klinkenkabelverlängerung bereitgestellt, die den Anschluß selbst mitgebrachter Kopfhörer ermöglicht. Mehr Details dazu hier.

Seit Anfang des Monats werde ich und wird Telekaster offiziell als Endorser unterstützt von Le Marquis N.Y., deren Tele-Modelle ich seit letztem Jahr bei allen Konzerten mit Telekaster spiele.

We’re happy to be featured as this week’s discovery on tape.tv – one of the greatest spots on the net to watch music videos. Our new clip Thinktank is available there now, and so are all the video works for the first record. Big thankyous also go to OPAK magazine, textura and INTRO, who featured Thinktank on their websites this week.

We shot a brand new music video for the new track thinktank, that some of you already know from our 2010 gigs. Deep out there in berlin’s loveliest forest we set up to perform in the middle of the night and came back with some highly athmospheric footage. For all of you interested, a downloadable ipod-version is ready HERE.

We will be playing our first ever summer festival gig with Telekaster as part of the lovely Jenseits von Millionen taking place 6/7 august 2010 at burg friedland, quite close to berlin. Our slot will be late on the first night, most probably a special midnight gig after the headliners. Other acts at Jenseits von Millionen include Sometree, Alarma Man, PTTRNS and the wonderful Marie-Sophie Kanske aka Sea of Love, who joined me on the 2nd phon°noir album years ago… click here to learn more about the festival and also if you want to order tickets.

Am 15. Juni 2010 hat bereits die nächste copy & waste Produktion Premiere… Wir zeigen Euch The Or Or Girls im Rahmen des Unithea Festivals im Kleistforum Frankfurt/Oder. Nach der zweiten Vorstellung am 16. Juni werden Stefan und ich ein kleines Telekasterkonzert im sogenannten Festival-Ladenlokal spielen. Mehr zu The Or Or Girls gibts hier…
