I know)! +| How best to begin to describe? It's pretty hard actually, as there was so much going on. +| Possibly it would be best to start with the general direction of this event: + + * It's not a festival (no music stages, however there's music happening) + * There's wifi and RJ45 based Internet access everywhere! + * There are conference-grade talks about various topics (I made it to... two?) + * Many hackerspaces/ hacking groups from all over the world bring their projects (or even half of their interior) + * An old brick factory was used as the playground for all this. 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.jpg + :alt: The CCCamp2015 Audio Village Van + + The CCCamp2015 Audio Village Van + +These are the recordings I made (as mp3). If you want some flacs, let me know! + + * Long session with |silicium|, |psychotronic| and |hellais|. |van_recording1| + * Shorter session with |silicium| and |psychotronic|. |van_recording2| + +Unexpected Encounters +_____________________ +| Especially bumping into the latter again, after a first encounter at 2014's |bended_realities|, was a very pleasant surprise. +| To all of you, who don't know who Alwin Weber (aka. |stoerenfried|) is, go check out his website and book him for a soldering workshop, to make one of his famous noise toys! He's always a damn impressive positive force of nature to reckon with and generally a very pleasant person. +| His reasons for being at CCCamp was also mainly to give workshops, alongside people like |mitch_altman|. + +The Oven and Ideopolis +______________________ +| Additional to the awesome - most of the time purely moduluar - jams in the van, we (|psychotronic|, |stoerenfried| and `I `_) also did a session in one of the old brick ovens (#TODO audio here) and (|stoerenfried| and `I `_) 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. + +| +| So after all, the CCCamp2015 turned out to be much more DIY live music than I initially anticipated! What a pleasant surprise! +| In between all that music madness, I helped cook some food at the |c-base| outpost, hung out at v01d village with d1g, swam some rounds in one of the nearby lakes and nearly slept through the entire big storm on Saturday. +| There was not much time to actually finish up on anything, or even configure/ use my |rad1o| much. +| I met a lot of nice people from |c-base|, v01d, |metalab| and |erich_moechel| (whose |moechel_nsa| you should all watch!). +| +| All in all, CCCamp2015 was a great experience (although there are really way too many stories to tell) and I'm already looking forward to the next one! + +.. |hellais| raw:: html + + hellais + +.. |psychotronic| raw:: html + + psychotronic + +.. |erich_moechel| raw:: html + + Erich Moechel + +.. |metalab| raw:: html + + Metalab + +.. |rad1o| raw:: html + + rad1o + +.. |idiopolis| raw:: html + + Idiopolis + +.. |bended_realities| raw:: html + + Bended Realities + +.. |stoerenfried| raw:: html + + störenfried + +.. |chaos_communication_camp| raw:: html + + Chaos Communication Camp + +.. |silicium| raw:: html + + silicium + +.. |c-base| raw:: html + + c-base + +.. |mitch_altman| raw:: html + + Mitch Altman + +.. |moechel_nsa| raw:: html + + talk from 31C3 + +.. |van_recording1| raw:: html + + + +.. |van_recording2| raw:: html + + -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
