Awesome place! + +The Van +_______ +| Before going to CCCamp2015 I tried to get in touch with people setting up the Audio Village there. Turns out, that there wasn't much of a solid group to build upon. Additionally it became more and more time consuming to plan ahead for the event, because of work. +| Luckily though, I got in touch with |silicium|, who brought his van and his modular synthesizer, so we had some nice jams with some folks, namely |hellais|, |psychotronic| and |stoerenfried|. + +.. figure:: /images/cccamp2015_audiovillage_van_day.jpg + :alt: The CCCamp2015 Audio Village Van (day mode) + + The CCCamp2015 Audio Village Van (day mode) + +.. figure:: /images/cccamp2015_audiovillage_van_night.jpg + :alt: The CCCamp2015 Audio Village Van (night mode) + + The CCCamp2015 Audio Village Van (night mode) + +These are the recordings I made (as mp3).

He's always a damn impressive positive force of nature to reckon with and generally a very pleasant person. +| One of the main reasons for him being at CCCamp was actually to give workshops, alongside people like |mitch_altman|. + +.. figure:: /images/cccamp2015_weber_noise_toy.jpg + :alt: Alwin Weber's Noise Toys + + Alwin Weber's Noise Toys + +| I also met a lot of nice people from |c-base|, v01d, |metalab| and |erich_moechel| (whose |moechel_nsa| you should all watch!). + +.. figure:: /images/cccamp2015_moechel.jpg + :alt: Erich Moechel and me + + Erich Moechel and me + +The Oven and Ideopolis +______________________ +| Additional to the awesome - most of the time purely moduluar - jams in the van, we (|psychotronic|, |stoerenfried| and `I </music/deviser/>`_) also did a session in one of the old brick ovens and (|stoerenfried| and `I </music/deviser/>`_) one in the |idiopolis| dome. +| Both were a lot of fun. The first one was pretty much a five hour playground/ freak show, the second more of a full on electronica/glitch/techno session (where we even made the camp organizers come over to turn down the music). +| |idiopolis| was proud. + +* Session at the oven with |stoerenfried| and |psychotronic|. |recording_oven| + **Note**: There are also videos [|video_vimeo1|] [|video_vimeo2|] available on vimeo, that show a subset of the above recording +* Session at the |idiopolis| dome with |stoerenfried|. |recording_ideopolis| + +| +| So after all, the CCCamp2015 turned out to be much more DIY live music than I initially anticipated!
