Here you find some live recordings of staalplaat soundsystem.
-
Since its inception in 2000, Staalplaat Soundsystem has created a multitude of MACHINE ORCHESTRA'S using all manner of consumer electronics. Previous highlights of Staalplaat Soundsystem performances include »FLOATING ISLANDS« , a large sound/light installation in the Spree,a floating orchestra composed of fifty vacuum cleaners, plastic bottles and lights.
»YOKOMONO« is the Staalplaat Mono Erosive Surround Sound Installation.
The present setup consists of 10 vinyl killers, each customised with its own fm transmitter. The sound will come through a set of radios that receives the signal transmitted by the vinyl killers. You might think Yokomono is just a DJ set with 10 turntables, and in a way that is correct but in many more ways Yokomono is completely different. This project exists as performance and as installation version.
The most resend project »ARCHITONE« is to create sound art with public space. Several compositions were produced for building’s, a park and a trainstation in collaborations with architects and other Artist active and experienced in this veiled. Architone was first developed for the Siemens Arts Programme in Kiel presented at the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival where we converted the Kunsthalle into an instrument. Its similar incarnation was »CLOSED ENOUGH« presented with Mark Bain in Graz at the Steirischer Herbst and ORF Musikprotokol. »STATION TO STATION« made for the Today’s Art festival in Den Haag, in collaboration with Mike Rijnierse, Erik Hobijn and Mark Bain, we applied Architone principles to the Den Haag Central train-station. To explore the train station sound as a source and control and transform it into an new instrument, we used the back and forth movement of as the faders for the mixing of 10 train horns and station sounds. The Staalplaat Soundsystem is now working on the new Architone project »YOKOMONO-PRO«, developed for the Indian Khoj – International Artists Association in New Delhi.

MAYHEM4EVER

Løt.te is Mehmet Irdel (born 1978), a Turkish artist, producer, dj and designer.

He’s currently based in Brooklyn, NY, where he runs AI—F, a record label releasing music and sound works that explore use of technology by and against oppressors such as authoritarian governments and greedy corporations.

Upon moving to the US from his native Turkey at age 18, Mehmet started composing electronic music initially influenced by Warp Records and A-Musik artists, and later by industrial and experimental acts like Coil, Muslimgauze, Z’ev, Einstürzende Neubauten and Aube.

In 2010, he founded the ambient/noise project Divine Slime, which blended electronics with traditional instruments from the Middle East and East Asia. He also co-founded the art and design collective and record label Rote Productions, through which he released experimental records and artworks until 2015.

Mehmet started producing and releasing music and performing under the Løt.te name in 2014. He’s released records on The Bunker New York, Robert & Leopold, New York Trax, Mysteries of the Deep, and AI—F.  Mehmet has performed globally both live and as a dj, at venues such as Berghain (BER), Pickle Factory (LON), Contact (TYO), Nowadays (NYC), Good Room (NYC), and Bossa Nova Civic Club (NYC).

Since 2017, he's been producing and exhibiting politically-charged long form audio and audiovisual works that take inspiration and adopt techniques from filmmaking. These works have been presented at galleries and performance spaces in both USA and Turkey.
