Noiseberg #30 – FAUSTO MAIJSTRAL + AMIR BOLZMAN
Atelier Aüglein, Oppelner Straße 12, Berlin
Too bad I missed a few Noiseberg sessions in a row for one reason or another, it’s always a pleasure to visit them and I won’t miss the chance they offer this week to see Fausto Majstral live. FM are a fantastic impro duo that is quite rare to see performing lately: one of them – our scientist/musician friend DuChamp – is based in Berlin and very active in town, while the other – Will Gresson – moved to the UK already a while ago. Expect dark drones, guitars, synths and unsettling, dreamy vocals. The other name on the bill is Amir Bolzman – his music made with self-made digital instruments oscillates between jazz and harsh noise. Live sets start at 6 sharp!

Exhibition #4: PROCESS
SPEKTRUM, Bürknerstr 12, 12047 Berlin
An algorithm is a process that can be formalized in a step-by-step finite list and does not require any creativity or insight. Algorithms are way less boring than what this definition may first sound – they basically enabled all information technology and are involved in some of the most interesting and controversial intellectual achievements of modern times – see for example Gödel’s incompleteness theorem. Anyway, this is not a lecture about logic but an art exhibition, namely a large audiovisual installation by Irina Spicaka and Krisjanis Rijnieks that explores the use of generative (i.e. algorithmic) media production, its richness and limits.
