Although this little gouache by Pablo Picasso has been mistakenly identified as a study for his most inventive work, Les Demoiselles D'Avignon, it is really a preliminary work for Nude with Cloths, a painting painted shortly after. However, while some scholars place the execution of the Study in the winter of 1906-1907, it is most likely that it took place in Paris during the summer of 1907, when the painter was working on the painting. Nude with Cloths is a solitary depiction of the second female figure in Les Demoiselles, in which she extends the concept of the veil dance. If the geometric composition of Les Demoiselles is considered a "reaction" of Picasso to Derain's Bathers, which shocked him at the Salon des Indépendants in March 1907, in this Nude, the painter "challenges" the rhythms of Matisse's Blue Nude, exhibited in that same exhibition. The nude dancer moves like a medium, bewitched by some mysterious music, in a gesture delivered with her eyes closed. On the other hand, her movement reveals more to us than meets the eye and, as Pierre Daix puts it, Picasso manages to create "only with her rhythms a true depth." With this innovative solution, the artist not only solves the problem of painting in three dimensions, but also unstoppably begins the path towards cubist language.

On that sunny morning in late August, Lalita - the tree nymph – woke up when the first sunrays kissed her cheek.  She immediately looked at the little oak tree next to her bed of moss and – like every other morning - checked whether everything was OK with the tiny tree, which was only 3 feet high but destined to live for 1000 years and become the future Mother Tree of the witch’s forest.  It’s been 2 years now since Lalita arrived in Flanders after an epic 2-year walk from her home soil in South-East Asia, with only one lifelong mission : protect the little oak tree.
After getting up, she went to hug and cuddle the badgers who live in a circular network of tunnels around the little tree.  At that moment, she saw something unusual in the corner of her eye. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw it was a fully grown banana tree.  She started to chuckle spontaneously, as a banana plant in a forest in Flanders is a really weird sight.
As Lalita doesn’t allow herself to move more than 100 yards away from the oak tree, she dispatched Bob The Owl to call Hekske – the little witch – and Falke – the 9-year old witch apprentice.  A few minutes later, the 2 witches arrived at the scene and looked at the banana tree in awe.  It felt like a birthday gift for Falke, who happened to turn 10 on that very day.  After realizing it was Falke’s birthday, Lalita gave 27 hugs and kisses to the ever-smiling blond-haired witch apprentice.  After this intermezzo, the girls turned their attention to the banana tree, especially to its fresh green leaves, which were in sharp contrast with the dusty brown colors which were now dominating the forest, as a result of an unprecedented drought which started back in June and showed no signs of ending.  Several wells had dried up and some trees were even shedding their brown leaves.  Many herbs, animals and insects had died because of a lack of water.  It was a very tough summer for the forest dwellers.  Meanwhile Lalita caressed the banana tree, as memories came back from her childhood in South-East Asia, when she sheltered every day from the torrential rains under a banana tree leaf.
The 3 girls sighed and the lack of rain weighed heavier than ever.  The arrival of the banana tree was surely a good omen and the girls decided to do a rain dance.  But just as they were about to shuck off their clothes and start dancing, Bob The Owl landed on Hekske’s hand.  He had an urgent message to convey, as a visitor had just entered the forest.  And he was not human, which is why the guard animals didn’t chase him away (like they always do with human intruders).  Hekske told Bob The Owl to show their guest the way.  And 15 minutes later, the girls welcomed their guest.  He was obviously a wizard, as he was wearing a long black cloak.  He looked very young, just a teenager.  His shiny skin was soft and pale, in contrast with his black hair and mesmerizing black eyes.  He was obviously very shy, as it was the first time he ever saw a witch or nymph.  Lalita immediately prepared oriental herbal tea to welcome their guest.  A little later, they all sat down in a circle on the soft moss and introduced themselves while sipping tea.  The boy appeared to be only 13 years of age and he came from the Caspian Hyrcanian forest, a lush mixed ecosystem near Mount Damavand on the southern side of the Caspian sea.  He introduced himself as Esfandiar (اسفنديار,) - a Persian name which means ‘pure creation’.  The little witch got very curious as she had never met a witch or wizard from that part of the globe.  Then she asked whether he knew a magic spell to make rain…

Witchtape #130 | Guest Witch : True Nature

The rāga saga is a series that acts as a cultural collectiva of our favourite artists from all over, Each raga is an array of melodic structures with musical motifs, considered in the Indian tradition to have the ability to "colour the mind" and affect the emotions of the audience and this special journey (raga) comes from the lovely duo of @pullichomba Electronic music Producers based between Santiago de Chile and Berlin. Organic, melodic and groovy vibes after having released on Released on - down. Underyourskin Records, Hug Records, Shango Records, Hupupa, Obenmusik, Tchamma Yapu, Kompáz, Austral Kollektiv

When Pulli & Chomba met barefoot on the most famous beach of Berlin's Club scene in 2017, it was immediately clear, that their love for electronic music unites them. The fusion of German and Chilean sounds brought them on the tingling path to their own productions. Mostly organic and from time to time also a bit more intense and darker, they put your hearts to dance - preferably under a soap bubble rain.

Summer is over and it's autumn outside. You will listen to a mix of almost 3 hours, which is peppered with deep basses and spherical sounds. The transitions flow like butter and the mood is perfect. Responsible for this is our friend @heyoka_berlin , who introduces the cozy season for you.

Together with his collective Mystic Creatures (@mystic-tales-berlin)he throws pretty awesome parties in Berlin and other cities. We met him this year in Vienna when we organized an event together in our beloved Fluc. We are glad to have met you!

Welcome to the family Jacob <3

Das letzte Open Air

Das Wetter könnte nicht besser sein. Strahlender Sonnenschein auf einen blassblauen Himmel und das Ende Oktober. Wir leben in verrückten Zeiten, doch dass hat auch sein gutes. Ziemlich spontan haben wir uns dazu entschlossen ein kleines Open Air zu veranstalten. Wieder einmal an der legendären Brücke unter den Bahngleisen am Flussufer. Innerhalb weniger Tage wurde alles Notwendige organisiert und zusammengetragen. Eine Anlage und Licht wurden gemietet, Werbung über die entsprechenden Kanäle gemacht und ein der Kühlwagen mit Getränken aufgefüllt und bereitgestellt. Gegen 15:00 Uhr begann der Rave. Im schwindenden Sonnenschein wurden feinster Downtempo & Slow House zum besten gegeben. Anschließend folgte eine Melodic Techno Einlage. Währenddessen füllte sich der Platz mit immer mehr glücklichen und ausgelassen feiernden Menschen. Die Musik wurde der Uhrzeit und der hereinbrechenden Nacht entsprechend angepasst. Die Stimmung blieb gut, erst als die Polizei kam und der Bass herunter gedreht werden musste, kam das gesamte feuchtfröhliche Treiben ein wenig ins Stocken. 
Doch trotzdem ließen wir uns unseren Spaß nicht nehmen und genossen Kollektiv das letzte Open Air für dieses Jahr. 

Der Podcast von Kiki Kokolores erinnert an eine Jungle Expedition. Ein Großteil der Instrumente klingt außerordentlich organisch und die verwendeten FX lockern die Struktur zusätzlich auf. Über eine Laufzeit von 86 Minuten morpht ein Track in den anderen über. Diese Übergange sind zwar hörbar doch wirken so integral zugehörig, dass sich alles anfühlt wie ein ausgedehntes Musikstück.

Dankeschön <3

KataHaifisch Podcast 285 - Kiki Kokolores

Träge Tage lange Winter, selbst das Wasser dünnes Eis. Packt sich ein in weiße Watte, fällt herab und legt sich hin. Täglich wird die Nacht verlängert, kleiner Hauch von Winterschlaf. Überall fällt Asche runter, außer da wo's wirklich braucht. Und das Meer ist aufgebracht, kündigt stürmisch Zeiten an, viel zu kleine Boote, auf dem Weg ins Niemandsland. Goldne Bälle winden sich, zwischen viel zu teuren Füßen, anderswo ist Sommer jetzt, nur ein Klick dann siehst du es. Sommer in nem kleinen Bildschirm, weiße Kleider gold bestrahlt. Weit entfernt der Hagelregen, schneidet Schneisen in die Stadt. Träge Tage lange Winter, und das Wasser deckt sich zu. Packt sich ein in weiße Decken, legt sich frierend auf die Stadt. Und von ganz dort hinten tönen leise Töne rüber, regen an und regen ab.

LEIKA - Meeting Midnight

Ein besonderer Tag der Woche.
Glitzernde Augen und Vorfreude.
Im Winterregen stehend warten. 

- Die erste Tür öffnet sich -
Schnell den Regenmantel ausgezogen. 
Dieses Wummern. Noch nicht ganz am Ziel.

- Die zweite Tür öffnet sich -
Es geht los. 
Energie. Wärme. Kälte schwindet.

- Die dritte Tür öffnet sich -
Verbunden durch die Nacht.
BIS DIE MORGENSONNE KOMMT.

Meeting Midnight.
Magic Midnight!

-

Unsere Interpretation von Leikas wunderbarem Set "Meeting Midnight".
Eine wohl noch schönere Beschreibung über "Meeting Midnight" gibt es in einem der Lieblingsgedichte unserer Künstlerin:

"Meeting Midnight" by Carol Ann Duffy

I met Midnight
Her eyes were sparkling pavements after frost.
She wore a full length, dark-blue raincoat with a hood.
She winked. She smoked a small cheroot.

I followed her.

Her walk was more a shuffle, more a dance.
She took the path to the river, down she went.
On Midnight’s scent,
I heard the twelve cool syllables, her name,
chime from the town.

When those bells stopped,
Midnight paused by the water’s edge.
She waited there.
I saw a girl in purple on the bridge.
It was One o’Clock.
Hurry, Midnight said. It’s late, it’s late.
I saw them run together.
Midnight wept.
They kissed full on the lips
And then I slept.
The next day I bumped into Half-Past Four.
He was a bore.
