here & now

Tonight opens the 2014 installment of Berlin Atonal – a legendary festival of 1980s West Berlin pioneering electronic music that went on hiatus after the fall of the wall, only to return again in 2013 in founder Dimitri Hegemann’s new space, the impressive former power plant Kraftwerk Berlin. Launching with Ensemble Modern interpreting Steven Reich, the 5-day-festival will host a range of diverse electronic and experimental artists, from Cabaret Voltaire to Biosphere, who will showcase along with others a new 4D sound system. Either way, the location is worth going on its own, and filled with music, it is simply magical.
