Photos from Cave 12

Some pictures from Lothar Ohlmeier and Isambard Khroustaliov‘s recent performance with Skylla (Silvia Faessler and Billy Roisz), programmed by Cave 12 in Geneva. Many thanks to Sixto and Marion for organising the concert and here’s hoping Cave 12 finds a permanent home for its activities soon… (you can see a film documenting their eviction by the Swiss police after 20 years of cultural activity and read about it / contribute a message of support here).

Appliances #7

For Appliances #7 on Thursday 16th October 2008, we have invited 2 very interesting guests from Europe; Andreas Willers (guitar) and Rudi Fischerlehner (drums).

Andreas Willers is without a doubt one of Europe’s most interesting improvisers and could, along with figures such as Hans Reichel be seen as one of Germanys grand masters of guitar.

The young Austrian drummer Rudi Fischerlehner is a very active member of the exciting Berlin music scene and a discovery not to be missed. He is at home in many different musical genres but has the distinction of remaining recognizable from the moment he starts playing.
