Klub Demboh Studies 1 – 4 is a series of concerts in which an invited guest take on the chef’s Mütze and stir up the bittersweet steam of this Berlin piece of viande saignant. As usual the audiovisual polyphony embark on many levels of consciousness through the loopholes of unfiltered gravy of what is possible. Klub Demboh v3.0 might even be on a more exhilarating mode because of the last year’s constraints. It’s time to let the untangled beast loose again and get into regular and square making of (and in) the instant-all.

Please welcome our guests from near and afar:

Eric, Axel and I arrived at the location on a Sunday, expecting to find the space relatively empty. On weekdays it's a busy backyard with car repair, hospital ward, rehearsal spaces and other things. Despite Sunday, three workers of Käferservice were busy loading what looked like heavy auto parts. We exchanged a few words with one of them; he was friendly and wished us to enjoy our recording. We took this as a clear sign that they didn't mind us filming while they worked. They expressed no protest when I set up the camera and throughout the piece. After we were done, the same man approached us and demanded to delete the video. Instead of such radical step we came to an agreement that the work will go through some censorship.

A new video piece with Emilio Gordoa, Eric Bauer and myself made in Güterbahnhof Pankow last December. First part is the duo (Bauer / Khorkhordina) site-specifically circling around circular breathing on a plastic Abflussrohr-Didgeridoo and spinning the double wind wand bullroarer. Second part is a piece between the light and darkness with Emilio (percussion), Eric (cracklebox, dwwb) and Carina (trumpet).
