Hi there! Fausto Maijstral will be playing in the visualAID exhibition (you know how was weird to see my lame casiotone aside of the piece of Beck? But yes, it have sense, one of my drummer once told me that me and Beck we look the same and we could be brothers.)

Don´t miss it! It will be the last concert for some months (due to travels, extra works, and so on!)

Here´s the program:

17 May 2013, 7 pm
(Dis)playing paper, hours and constellations

Performances by Miss Machine, Achim Lengerer/ Scriptings, Fausto Maijstral and

Conversations with Susanne Husse (Curator District), Jana Sotzko and Theresa Stroetges (Musicologists, curators of VISUAL AID), Roman Schramm and Paul Sochacki (artists, SKULPI III).

Starting point for the series (Dis)playing paper, hours and constellations are different forms of art publication projects respectively artists’ expanded drawing and writing practices. From January 31 to May 25, 2013, District Kunst und Kulturförderung Berlin presents four exhibition experiments and performative exercises under this title, which are developed by artists, theorists and curators from the edition and magazine formats Scriptings, VOLUME, SKULPI III and the research project on contemporary musical notation, VISUAL AID.

On May 17, the participants of the four different exhibition parts meet to reflect their contributions and to discuss the project (Dis)playing paper, hours and constellations in an open conversation. The conversation will be framed by the music performances of Miss Machine and Fausto Majistral as part of VISUAL AID and a lecture by Achim Lengerer/ Scriptings on his Rehearsing P.W.: documents and footnotes.

You can listen to my interview (on air last Suday) in “Snaturarock”, an amazing broadcast about new Italian music by Francesca Ognibene or air every Sunday at 15 on Radio Sherwood. Interview in Italian…here I speak about Boring Machines, Onga, making drones, Pauline Oliveros and many many times about my hero Roy Montgomery, Will Gresson and the joy of improvising, the multi-talented Alice Cannava´ of Occulto Magazine, the talented Lara Schilling that made the cover of my album, the weird way I´ve met Filipe Dias De, my ethernal gratitude to Diego Ferri and Brian Pyle, and how bad has been my ex-boyfriend when inspires me “Portect me from what I want”, the bliss of having a baritone guitar, and of course, hairdryers. :-)

[#] I´m finally officially part of Boring Machines! I´m very happy and proud of that. This is my page, and I´m close to some of my favorite artists and very good friends.

[#] Pre-orders of my debut LP “Nar” are possible from BM website, it will be shipped from April 8th (two days before DuChamp´s birthday!). This is how Onga described it:

“Nar is the first solo record of DuChamp. It has been composed and recorded through reharsal space changing, ideas deleted, fatwas from former lovers during year 2012 in Berlin.
All tracks are played by DuChamp and recorded and mixed by Diego Ferri. Brian Pyle (Ensemble Economique, Starving Weirdos) sung in “A Worship” and also did the mastering.
The albums is released on LP with cover photo by Lara Schilling and graphics by Alice Cannavà (Occulto Magazine).”
