Freund*innen der elektronischen Musik dürfen sich freuen: Das Kapitel Bollwerk ruft für alle Homestayers, Hausarrestierte, Stubenhockerinnen und anderweitig Corona-Betroffene die "CORONA-QUARANTÄNE-PODCAST"-Reihe ins Leben. Shutdown, Lockdown, hello again. Wir sind wieder zurück und schicken dir Woche für Woche tolle Mixes von Freund*innen des Hauses über den Äther in deine Stube.

"Dieses Mal freuen wir uns besonders auf den Mix. Dieser stammt nämlich aus einer Zeit vor Corona, wo sich teilweise spontan - im legendären Studio G5 in Zürich - mehr Menschen versammelten, als sich heute in Innenräumen treffen dürfen: ein wie uns bescheinigt wurde einzigartiger Live-Mitschnitt aus besagtem G5 der Skiclub Toggenburg-Buben, an der Seite von Domi Chansorn, Nicolas Stocker und Kalabrese. Live-Modular-Keyboard-Synth-B2B2B2B-Action vom Feinsten. Gönnung & LG! <3"

This very exceptional soundscape was crafted by versatile and truly skilled producer Sacha Ketterlin. Being a passionate musician, he's devoting to several projects - each with a different style. Under his moniker Modula (@modula) he is using nothing but a Doepfer A-100 modular system to forge sounds and melodies.

Introductory note

‘in my maze’ is an independent sound composition based on a walk-in 3D installation that I developed in Second Life in 2024. It was inspired by my many years of work with the Avatar Orchestra Metaverse. To me, Second Life is not a game, but rather an artistic medium — a walk-in chat room complete with spatial stereo sound and 3D video. As a composer, builder and performer, I utilise its immersive capabilities in ways that transcend the concepts of commercial metaverses.

Avatars traverse my semi-transparent sound labyrinth, activating location-based sound objects and generating sound sequences that emerge from the situation. Their paths are an expression of their individual freedom to create sound in digital space. As with simultaneous chats, streams and background processes, time becomes fragmented and runs in parallel. Sonic coherence emerges through movement and interaction. 

Transformed swallow calls (natural sound), glockenspiel notes (human musical instrument) and modulated sine tones (digital world) intertwine to form a new tonal topology. Above a fundamental tone of 200 Hz, I construct pure minor thirds (6:5) that do not form octaves, producing audible beats. This is accompanied by my whispered text, 'Ancestralities' – a multilingual, poetic, fragmentary exploration of origin, inherited patterns, and emotional ambivalence towards one's own ancestry. 

By encoding interactive spatial structures as multi-layered sound forms, my maze subverts conventional listening experiences and deliberately sets transgressive impulses in motion. Rather than presenting 'internet music' as an aesthetic of permanent streaming, the composition offers an acoustic cartography of a metaverse in which the perception of time, identity and space can be experienced in sensual, fragmented and ambivalent ways. 

I 'play' my original Second Life installation as though it were an interactive instrument. Its spatial arrangement forms the tonal basis of an original fixed media composition. The labyrinth structure is translated into a rhizomatic network architecture comprising branching paths and an open form with no linear dramaturgy. Like the labyrinth itself, the text fragments reflect inner and genealogical turmoil.

A performance video by the Avatar Orchestra Metaverse documents the audiovisual context of my 3D installation in Second Life (https://youtu.be/4CRTNbabxw4?si=m6OJsFsW7oPFxEeA&t=1255, from 20:08). All the sounds you hear were played in real time by the avatars in Second Life during the performance. This is not a recording or post-production soundtrack.

Flamingos Eve 31.12.2020 mit Markus Mutzenbacher

skinnerbox is no more since june 2021. all of our sets / music will still be available as long as we remember to pay the annual sc fee.

thank you all for the amazing years <3 

Olaf Hilgenfeld and Iftah Gabbai aka Skinnerbox met under strange circumstances in Berlin back in 2003. The first years of their musical marriage has been a rather abstract electroacoustic journey that slowly got transformed by the neo-hippie rave renaissance that washed Berlin the years after. While growing up with places like the Bar25 and legendary party makers as the Bachstelzen, Skinnerbox always maintained a very individual identity, famous for their infamous improvised and truly live played shows (reaching another peak while performing a 12 hour live set at Kater Holzig, Berlin 2013) notoriously free from any obligation or trends. With a good dozen of singles on labels like BPitch Control, Darkroom Dubs, Bar25 Records, Tonkind and more plus a highly acclaimed full length studio album on Doxa Records ("If this is the future of techno, then we have a lot to look forward to!", Xlr8r) Skinnerbox have positioned themselves well above the inflationary electronic scene hailing from Berlin.
In 2009 Skinnerbox released the sbx 2049 - a drum machine which made them the first artists to release an instrument in conjunction with Ableton.
In 2014 - after 3 years of intense work - Skinnerbox ended up with another official Ableton Live instrument, an epic drum machine which is unlike anything you ́ve ever seen before: Time & Timbre.
