Yesterday the ORWOhaus<\/a> celebrated its first “Klang der Ideen”-music festival<\/a>.
\nIn 1998 free music groups from all over Berlin started to gather in this cheap old GDR-Plattenbau from the eighties. This Plattenbau is located in the Eastberlin quarter Marzahn, which used to be a GDR<\/a> showcase (see also our work Mahrzipanien<\/a>). Less than a half-an-hour tramway (streetcar) ride from Berlins center Marzahn is now a quarter with a high density of empty industrial and residential buildings.<\/p>\n

\nIn 2004 the public owner of the haus terminated the lease with the musicians due to failings in fire security. After quite a bit of rallies and fund raising campaigns the community could finally buy the house and raise money for renovation. The whole community was subsequently awarded with a prize…

…of the Land-der-Ideen (country of ideas)<\/a> initiative. This initiative is an official marketing campaign for Germany, intended for displaying the inventiveness of people in Germany (however – I think- this stupid “country-of-ideas”-title is rather displaying the opposite).<\/p>\n

The ORWOhaus can host about 200 music bands. Other provisions of services like booking agencies etc. are planned.
\nHence the festival yesterday was also a “thank-you”-party. At 35 degrees celsius, with three stages (two of them open air), a beergarden it was a popular place to be and even the radio was there:<\/p>\n

The graphical part of the festival was rather modest, there was not much VJing (at least in the earlier part of the festival, which I attended), but at least there were some fractals<\/a> on the wall:

Unfortunately my camera ran out of battery already in the sound check stage:

…which was not so bad either, as so I couldnt take more fotographs but enjoy the show :).
\nBest band of what I saw: papptiger<\/a> a great absurd mixture of country-chanson-rock-hiphopreggae, which they call minirock.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
