September 28 - Switched On

Join us on Thursday, September 28th for Basic Electricity #22 with Michael Vorfeld and Wouter Jaspers at the König Otto in Berlin, Neukölln.



Michael Vorfeld treats us to his Glühlampenmusik, an audio-visual performance using sounds that are generated by different light bulbs and electric switches, made audible by microphones and pick-ups. His buzzing, flickering, rhythmic music could be the definition of basic electricity.



We’re very happy to welcome Wouter Jaspers back for his second appearance at Basic Electricity. The Koma Elektronik head-honcho and Vatican Analog artist uses field recordings and synth textures to make music that is at times delicate and brutal.

König Otto is housed in the former Kindl brewery. It’s a unique space with a great ambient sound. Sunset is at 18:50 on September 28th - we’re looking forward to seeing you when the lights go on for Basic Electricity #22!

March 24 - Otto Totto

Basic Electricity is back! Join us on Friday, March 24th at our new venue, the beautiful König Otto in Neukölln, for a special friends-and-family concert with Wolfgang Seidel, Hilary Jeffery, Hainbach & Navs.



Here’s a taste of the trio, playing at last year’s Superbooth in Berlin’s Funkhaus.

The König Otto is housed in the former Kindl brewery and is run by Nikoletta, the wonderful wife of Basic Electricity stalwart Hainbach.


It’s a special room with church-like acoustics. We are very much looking forward to making music in this new space and hope to see you there on March 24th!

September 28 - The Art of Noise

Handmade electronics, microscope-visuals and modular soundscapes fill the stage at Basic Electricity #6 on September 28th. We're very happy to have finally made a date with Derek Holzer, sound artist and builder of experimental noise boxes. We're intrigued to see which curious instruments he brings along! Visual media artist Vanessa Ramos-Velasquez will collaborate with Derek. Click here to watch a video of their bioart project, A.LIVE, which they will launch at BE#6. Joining us from Rotterdam, sound-sculptor JenaMu6 will provide a melodic counterbalance, improvising on Euro-format modular and iPad.
