DIET: LIVE IN BULGARIA (SOMEWHERE IN THE MOUNTAINS) - 29.08.24
This year we played two concerts in Bulgaria again. Almost no audience. Really unfriendly hosts. No food, no drinks. But sometimes anger helps to shape ideas.
So we took our time at a friend's place and reworked our live performance. It's less now. Less instruments and more focused improvisation. And suddenly it sounds more. This recording was done at the second concert. It was raining heavily, and there were leaks in the roof ("It's gonna BUUUUUURRRN!").
The idea of the set is based on a visit to a rehabilitation facility on Sylt. The songs use samples and ideas from that place. Some are recordings of guided meditation; others are the sounds of automatic massage machines. But some of the samples are kids interviewing each other. Totally unrelated.
Technically, this is our first recording in which we use a Midi synced setup. The sync helps us to keep the timing and have more mental space for musical creativity.
x3x: DJ SET AT ROTE KÜCHE (POTSDAM) - 29.03.24
A few hours after our performance at Taba Record Store in Sofia we listened to an exciting DJ set from Elena Colombi.
Since that time we stalked a lot of older DJ sets. Ultimately, we discovered her label "osàre!".
This vinyl only set is a blind kiss from wueste.info to the unkown artists from osàre!
Thanks for the sounds and the inspiration. ...
merci! to "Werkstattkneipe" and "Rote Küche" (where we recorded this DJ set).

DIET: LIVE AT TABA (Sofia) - 14.10.23
We played a concert at the Taba Record Store in Sofia (Bulgaria).
Taba is a beautiful independent record store with a regular line up of DJs and Musicians performing there.
The concert was recorded (Thanks Vlad!). A small break in the middle was removed from the recording. The rest is a simple stereo recording of
the set. No mixing - just some little mastering.
The set was played just a week after the attack on a music festival in Israel. The attack followed us and was part of
our daily conversations and gave the live set a much darker and sad atmosphere.
DIET: LIVE AT KLANGKULISSE (Jesendorf) - 25.08.23
This perfomance took place at the klangkulisse festival in Jesendorf (Germany). The place has a very interesting acoustic delay of the sound system and a concrete wall on the other side.
This delay effect converted the location into a huge phaser when you moved between the sound system and the wall. Next time a moving live microphone will be needed.

DIET: LIVE AT WAGENPLATZ KAROW - GINKA SESSION (Berlin) - 14.10.22
This live performance took place Ginka's birthday (now officially called Gudrun).
Wagenplatz Karow is a self organized community in suburban Berlin. Julian messed up the recording with his stereo/mono-problem (No that mono-button is not ok!).
Only Mp3s available.

FRUEHSCHICHT RECORDING - 31.12.21
We wrote texts, ate "Mettbrötchen" and made music together (also with a selfbuild machine). Frühschicht means early shift in German.
The Songs are structured after the timeline of shiftworker. Sleeping, waking up, working, working hard, working tired and resting. We woke up everyday at the time of an early shift and created music at a time where music usually isn't created.
DIET: OFFSET RELEASE - 09.09.21
Dieses Album hat ein Ziel: Es möchte sich ab-setzen, hin-setzen, weg-setzen. Nullpunkt – irritiert, von dem was es umgibt. Beginnen – dort wo es endet. Freejazz – nicht mehr & nicht weniger.
Es erzählt eine Geschichte. Eine Geschichte in der wir angefeindet wurden, wenn wir die Dinge im Kollektiv angingen. In der sich unser Umfeld in »save spaces« einschloss und als »Club-Kultur« beschrieb. In der es kaum noch Veranstaltungen gab, in der es nicht um Konsum zu gehen schien. Publikum – Künster(in), die einen erwarten & zahlen, die anderen arbeiten & werden nicht bezahlt.
