I like finding unintentional pieces. My whole workshop at UDK in Berlin was about that. More on that later.
Berlin Ceiling
At a bar and low and behold, the poster for TITO on the wall!
I like this splatter.
Like a bear claw with too many toes...
I had an oven in my room for heat. It was interesting.
You start with burning paper, then put these bricks in, then wait an hour or so and the room gets warm.
The fastest swan ever, in Neukolln.
Checkpoint Charlie for a show.
On the side of a building.
That's me laughing at the end...
A hidden gem of a bar. Fits like 15 people. Love.
Went to the wrong building for the first meeting. DOH!
But I made it in time. Some of the best turntablists in the world were here.
such an honor.
Akademie der Kunste auditorium.
Phillip Jeck. My new favorite person.
The ceiling.
I want to make this wall when Matthew gets back.
Set up the next day. It was impossible to rent turntables in Berlin during the festival. They were all with us.

Set up
camera crew documenting it all.
Ignaz's set up. I always like to watch him get organized. Takes him like an hour or so.
vinyl filing system. So efficient.
Vinyl cutter. GIVE IT TO MEEEE!!!
So you could cut your own vinyl while you were at the festival and it only cost 10 euros. So proud of Ignaz, he really pulled it off.

Again, I'm really into physical representations of chaos.
So is Christian Marclay. This was an installation we all created for the foyer of the performance space for TITO, instructed by Christian Marclay, who couldn't be there, he had a gig at the Louvre.
Chaos. Love.
Sort of group photo.
Accidents become art pieces.
Can you see it? the break in the window looks like a woman singing.
See?
The abandoned building across the way from my room.
As soon as I landed in NYC I went to the Dam Funk show that Fader hosted. Was good.
But I was tired and hungry.
Park Avenue Armory for the Merce Cunningham Memorial:

A drawing by Merce hung over the musicians area.
La Monte Young and his ladies.
From the ground, showtime:
from the musicians balcony. The best seat in the house. It was incredible to say the least.
the floor looked great.

Me as trying on a wig that Casey had, I looked like Etta James. @ Coco listening to Mike Wexler and Aaron Lovejoy a.k.a. Hypnotits (heehee) DJ.
