I’ve had an unbelievable time here, I hope to return for a longer stay next year. Wrapping up with a final few pics to post before off to chess with Roy and Keith….
Great video installation! Wednesday I went and saw one of the coolest uses of space….an underground labyrinth through the large intestine of an unused public swimming pool…with video installations in every nook and cranny. I went to a party there a few weeks ago, but this was opening night for the installations…

Afterwards, caught a train to Die Remise…
Walking to Die Remise, poked my head into a skate park through an opening in the wall

Thursday nights concert at Loophole, with the FANTASTIC clarinetist Anat Cohavi, and equally wonderful accordionist Hannes Lingens and laptopist Roy Carroll. It was nice to have friends Joachim Goßmann and Johnny Chang there.
Recording mics on a chandelier at Loophole…which later came tumbling down, with no injuries….

Friday, visited Ableton’s offices, had a great visit with Yukio King, awesome guy who my friend Trevor Henthorn introduced me to, had an excellent chat about education, art, software, life in Berlin. I was also able to meet Jeremy Bernstein, codemeister for Cycling 74 who was also generous by taking time out of his day to chat with me, a great guy…all these folks are so interesting…!

Leaving the offices, was once again struck by the sky…

Friday night gig with Keith O’Brien and Roy Carroll was SMOKING. Thanks so much to Roy for setting up all these wonderful musical experiences for me. That night also featured Liz Albee (tpt) and Clayton Thomas (contrabass), who put on a killer set, mesmerizing, beautiful stuff. It was nice to finally meet Liz after crossing paths with her for years, we have so many friends in common.
