Refuge Worldwide: Kauno Fonas - Matas Petrikas - 21 Apr 2023

June 15.06.2023

Katerblau club in Berlin

Presented by Nicholas Mockridge

-------

Book launch: Matas Petrikas - The Joy of Electronic Music.

The Joy of Electronic Music is a collection of essays dealing with the themes of creativity, creative crises, mental health and the never-ending search for new ideas and sounds. It's a book for people who own a few synthesizers but rarely find enough time to make music. Although the book was originally written for music professionals and hobbyists, it has found an audience among creatives from many different fields - designers, journalists, artists and technologists.

Author and producer Matas Petrikas reads a few selected text fragments from the book and answers reader questions.

The Joy of Electronic Music - The Book Launch at KaterBlau

Lets not complain about the summer rain, it's a source of life... Lets appreciate the joy of staying in bed on a Saturday morning instead.

This mix was recorded on a quite rainy June afternoon in 2023, at our bar in Berlin.

'Guitar' is one of these tracks you can't get out of your head, after you heard it once. I usually deal with this problem by making a remix. Original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOzkN8dHnjk

My ableton-live set, wild improvisation, unreleased material only, recorded in beautiful Kaunas, Lithuania, at the Big Tasty party in the legendary Metropolis Hotel. The lineup included Hiroko Yamamura, D.Dan, Mountak and Less Feeling, Meri Hov and Cport Cistema.

Lykke Li  - A little bit (Matas Berlin remix)

Story in Blue

Distant techno beats, police and riot noises on 1st of May in Berlin

Kinda of an experiment in search for my own sound. I've produced this track from 2 loops I've made using Hobnox Audiotool ( http://www.hobnox.com/audiotool.1046.en.html ). Imported into Ableton LIve! and tweaked some FX afterwards.

Get more tracks!

Hobnotropic

My live set from Gravity club in Vilnius. Still a bit rough on the edges, to say at least, but I'll try to upgrade it this summer :) From the technical side it's Ableton Live! 7 runing on my MBP, Akai MPD24 and Nintendo Wiimote controlers and Edirol Firewire interface.

Matas - Live at Gravity Club 30.05.2008
