:summary: A review of Chaos Communication Camp 2015
:authors: David Runge
| This year's |chaos_communication_camp| has been pretty damn awesome (and I'm very late to tell that... 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|.

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 </music/deviser/>`_) also did a session in one of the old brick ovens (#TODO audio here) 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.
|
| 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!
