stromspiesser
concert series for electronic music
curated & organised together with Tim Pauli
the stromspiesser series consists of concerts of live, experimental, electronic music in spaces which are not specifically designed for this purpose. Instead of theatres or concert halls, locations more like exhibition spaces, bicycle shops, workshops, parking garages or parks are of interest.
the aim of the project is to offer an in-between space for electronic music in the balancing act between academic traditions and club culture. We want to encourage and promote young artists who find themselves between the independent scene and the academic one. Our target group are people who do not feel comfortable in either one of these two biotopes. Furthermore, we also want to reach people who havent had the opportunity to come in contact with experimental electronic music. The cosy, relaxed Sunday afternoon atmosphere, also invites attendees to network and thus promote experimental electronic music in Essen.
