After Mischpoke #1 with BKGD Audio, Gras, Sonae and Lucrecia Dalt, this time Clark, Oval, Electric Indigo and Gudrun Gut are at the controls for #2. The Düsseldorf/Brisbane underdogs Tidy Kid, Pondskater, Ai and The Visitor provide the source material for their remixes. The music ranges from the living room to the club.

Georg Seeßlen on Mischpoke #2:

MISCHPOKE #2

What does the music of the future sound like? With the current hype, one immediately thinks of AI. An artificial intelligence that knows the history of music as well as the tastes of millions upon millions of people, sorted by age, gender, region or level of education. So everyone will get exactly the music that is somehow already in him or her. New and yet completely familiar. Alexa music. Boooring.

But that's not exactly how the music of the future sounds. Because AI - it may be highly interesting as a "partner" - always works with the past, the tried and tested, the mainstream-coded. Perhaps it can also do things differently, but it lacks economic interests and perhaps a bit of critical theory.

In any case, the music of the future is a music in motion, a music that permanently changes itself and in which one can intervene democratically, anarchically, in solidarity or critically. Music that does not confirm but provokes. A film in which, by the way, "Oval" appears as an act, from 1996, has the fitting subtitle: "Über die Gewalt des Zusammenhangs." ("On the Violence of Context").

Making the future audible in music means listening to it (and processing it accordingly) in such a way that what is possible emerges. Mix and re-mix are the common genre terms for this. However, the words "mixing" and "re-mixing" seem almost a little too gentle for what can actually happen.

Mischpoke. That means, if you take the word at its word, a combination of mixing and kinship. And then there is the (decisive?) push in it, the poke, with which one gives a thing or a being in motion a different direction.

Electronic music in general, remixes in particular, and most especially "Mischpoke", that is also a form of storytelling, of inventing and critiquing the fundamental things in it: space. Time. Subject. Narrating into the future. With music. That's what it's about. Among other things.
