record-o-mat Workshop
“performative Rally in HafenCity and Oberhafen”
03. July 2022 || intern
in cooperation with Thalia jung&mehr Hamburg, as part of European youth exchange “YOU PERFORM”:
50 young people from four countries France, Germany, Hungary, Netherlands.
Today, for once, only clamped onto the bicycle… the record-o-mat came in its smallest form and formed the finale of our performative rally through HafenCity and the Oberhafen in Hamburg. Performative as well as discursive tasks were located along the way, offering the approx. 50 young performers different perspectives on the district. Impressions of the path, as well as of the shared time of international exchange, were fed into the record-o-mat at the end point in the rooms of the Lukulule and made audible in the room.
Here is a short recording:
record-o-mat on stage
12. Juni 2022 || 17-18 Uhr
Premiere
as part of the music festival 48h Wilhelmsburg
Stübenplatz in 21107 Hamburg-Wilhelmsburg
Embedded in the neighbourhood music festival 48h Wilhelmsburg, the record-o-mat will stand for one day on the market square of the Reiherstiegviertel – the Stübenplatz. Visitors and passers-by can listen to the changing sound collage at any time and make their own sound recordings.
From 5 pm, the musicians Mounir Brinsi and Dorothea Koch will enter into a playful and musical dialogue with the record-o-mat. Visitors to the concert performance can interact live and become part of the concert experience through their own contribution, fundamentally controlling thematic content. Speech fragments, synthesizer, loop station, vocal performance – the interpretation is extemporaneous and situational. The concert format questions the meaning of stage and performance in an unconventional way.

Flyer Symposium Download
to the live stream of the symposium here
organised by Forum für Künsternachlässe
In the context of the underrepresented history of some historical places and in dialogue with them and the urban society, historical facts can have an effect in the public space as an “acoustic stumbling block” with the help of the record-o-mat and thus provide impetus for new kinds of public discourse. We are planning to place the record-o-mat on Joseph-Carlebach-Platz. The material collected at the symposium will be available in this set-up as a basic composition and invite the public to engage in dialogue.
record-o-mat as a digital guest book
as part of Grenzgängerger Festival Live und Digital.
Thalia jung&mehr Hamburg
18.06. – 26.06.2021
Forgotten your pen? The guest book is once again not where it should be?
Long queue at the book and everyone is taking so long?
No problem – this is the way. The record-omat becomes a digital guestbook for border crossers! Actually located in a frog-green telephone booth in a public space, the record-o-mat is connected to an answering machine and streaming software and becomes a digital guestbook for the festival. Share your impressions.
Enthusiasm, amazement, applause, booing, what really moves you with the impressions, enthusiasm, amazement… of everyone else and leave them as a message on our answering machine. The record-omat takes a fragment of each new incoming contribution on a random basis programmed by us and inserts it into the wonderful composition of the previous guestbook snippets. This magical sound sculpture is constantly changing and reshaping itself, and can be heard live.
Call and leave your impression of the festival at 040.32814-709
18.06. – 26.06.2021, daily 17 – 22 o’clock
Above you can hear the guestbook filled over nine days.

The FLEX-o-mat: A performative sound installation that plays back language modules from the festival workshops and in which you can participate – simply speak your favourite sentences from your production to your heart’s content and your voice will resound out into the world again and again and take shape artfully in combination with other sentences.
Texturen der Freiheit
in Kooperation with Thalia Theater Hamburg
as part of Lessingtage Thalia jung&mehr
installation start: expected in June 2021
What is freedom?
What is freedom for you? What do you want freedom for and for whom?
For what should freedom be restricted?
Director Kerstin Steeb is conducting the Thalia jung&mehr research project “Textures of Freedom” in schools for “Lessingtage 2021 digital – Stories from Europe”. With her support, courses from five different schools in Hamburg have approached the term “freedom” in an exploratory way and developed individual statements on it. With the help of the record-o-mat, installed in a telephone booth, the statements are recorded, mixed with other fragments of previous recordings and thus artistically collaged and called out into the public – as textures of freedom.

Poles, tarp, wooden speakers and the rec control panel, plus the laptop tucked under your arm…. This is our mobile record-o-mat, which we affectionately call “the insect”. On September 18 and 19, 2020, it celebrated its public premiere at August-Lütgens-Park in Hamburg-Altona, embedded in a luminous park installation on the occasion of OAKLEAF Streetshow’s 10th anniversary.
