Avantgarde and youth culture: radical action or market differentiation?
Martin Büsser
Michael Wertmüller
Thomas Mahmoud
Achim Szepanski
Stefan Tcherepnin
Lars Becker
Peter Pawlicki
Anne Imhof
Noise, drone, improv – are these newly invigorated musical strategies a sign of the formation of a youth culture again fundamentally disapproving the commodity rationale or is it more a postmodern playful and romantic manipulation of signs, forms and channels of commoditized culture and past media types?
Martin Büsser co-founded the Ventil-Verlag publishing house as well as the book series "Testcard - Beiträge zur Popgeschichte" (Testcard - contributions to pop history). He has written many books on pop history and pop theory.
Michael Wertmüller is a sought-after composer whose works are being performed at big festivals for New Music. He also plays Free Jazz with people like Peter Brötzmann. Thomas Mahmoud celebrated successes with his band von spar. Together with Wertmüller and Marino Pliakas he founded the avantgarde-band Ives#1. Stefan Tcherepnin is a composer and musician. He works amongst other with Ei Arakawa and Merlin Carpenter. Szepanski published "Soundcultures" and founded Force Inc. und Mille Plateaux. Lars Becker und Peter Pawlicki have founded the relational micro-nexus KACHELTISCH and organize the event.

Improvisation: plays, rules, technologies and communication
Institut für Feinmotorik
Felix Klopotek
Improvisation is a way of creating/demolishing rules and communication structures within the process of instant composing. How do technologies (new/abused interfaces, new/abused audio generators), spaces and personal relations to the other musicians take affect?
The Institut für Feinmotorik researches with its Octogrammoticum the improvisation with record players since the mid 1990s. On their tours they have played in the Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie (ZKM) in Karlsruhe and Goethe-Institut in Buenos Aires. Felix Klopotek writes for Jazzthetik, Spex and Testcard; in 2002 he published the book „How they do it. Freejazz, Improvisation und Niemandsmusik“. He operates the label Grob producing the currently most important improvisational music.

Leisure, fun and power play: the history of music – from sacred to commodity?
Achim Wollscheid
Lars Becker, Peter Pawlicki
Thomas Mahmoud
The use of music openly as an instrument in (micro-)politics of power has apparently changed to more subtle forms of music as a way to dampen social frictions. Although this does not exclude the possibility of transgression of the commodity rationale it makes the boundaries to be crossed less visible.
Achim Wollscheid is media artist, focusing in his works with sound, light and space and their interfaces
concert: Achim Wollscheid; Workshop band
