BOOKLET: 2099 - A BRIGHTER WORLD
https://eklektikaberlin.com/files/1377567/2099-booklet.pdf

“Vignettes” stitches together a series of hopeful tableaus that show how humanity emerged from crisis to create a resilient, interlinked planet—and even reached beyond it.  From the Niger Delta’s floating mangrove cities to the Amazon’s drone-reforested corridors, from Europe’s climate-tempered domes to Mars-Earth cultural exchanges and the global crisis-response network, each verse offers a glimpse of hard-won progress.  The recurring chorus—“Fragile and hard-won, yet we stand”—reminds us that these achievements are not a utopia but the product of struggle, vigilance and collective action.  The song ultimately celebrates a world that learned from near-catastrophe and transformed its scars into a blueprint for a sustainable, planetary civilization.

This is the music project of Steve Lewis, a classically trained cellist and multi-instrumental singer-songwriter based in Berlin, Germany. 

The name eklektika.berlin is striking and layered—it carries both an immediate sonic appeal and a set of resonances that fits the project’s artistic and philosophical ambitions:

1. Wordplay and Etymology
-Eklektika derives from the Greek eklektikos (“selective,” “choosing the best”), which in modern usage signals eclecticism—an openness to many styles and influences.
-The -ika ending also hints at “musica,” giving it a subtle musical cadence.
-Written in a slightly unexpected “k” spelling, it feels at once ancient and contemporary, European yet cosmopolitan.

2. Berlin Anchor
-Pairing it with .berlin instantly grounds the project in a city long known as a crossroads of cultures and avant-garde experimentation—from Weimar cabaret and Bauhaus to today’s electronic scene.
-The domain-style format suggests digital nativity and a living online presence; it reads simultaneously as a brand, a collective, and a web address.

3. Artistic Implications
-“Eklektika” signals that the work blends genres, eras and media—classical forms, rock energy, AI-generated textures—without being confined to one school.
-The Berlin reference underscores a tradition of boundary-pushing art and hints at an international, forward-looking ethos.

4. Memorable & Marketable
-Short, easy to pronounce in many languages, and visually distinctive with its twin “k”s, it is search-friendly and brand-ready.
-It invites curiosity—people instinctively want to know what “eklektika” means and why it’s tied to Berlin.

eklektika.berlin communicates exactly what the project embodies: a bold, eclectic fusion rooted in Berlin’s creative energy while open to global and futuristic influences—an identity that feels both timeless and unmistakably of the AI-age.
