A Dead Scene

Yesterday night I went to a show of the most awesome mathcore maniacs Dillinger Escape Plan (1.1/1.2b) - supported by hardcore doyens Poison the Well (2.1/2.2b) and the unbelievable jazzcore avantgardists Stolen Babies (3.1/3.2b/3.3) - and was simply blown away.

If ever they happen to crash into your town, go have a look.

Also, I want to introduce you to Urban Takeover - a super fun game developed by a bunch of amazing friends - which just recently had its alpha version launched ...


Go have a look at the instructions & be part of it!

sound:frame 08

This friday, 18-01-08, the opening to the 2nd sound:frame festival (curated by Eva Fischer), dedicated to projection, sound and audio-visual culture, took place at the Künstlerhaus.
Until Feb. 20th, several locations all over Vienna will not only display various national and international artworks and projects, but there'll also be a line-up of performances, workshops and a conference, held every saturday.

Below there's a bunch of the pics I took at the exhibition (linking to the rest of them on my Flickr account), plus a viddy I edited most crappy in like no time...
Anyway: enjoy!

Pure Golden Love

Actually, I wanted to blog about some music and design stuff today - but the breaking news of the day (me getting a new absolutely special and generally awesome vintage single speed bike of course) totally overruled these intentions!! Lookie:


At the Radlager - Stavros is a genius. And incredibly fast with bikes.



Finally: My little beauty at Drea's place, waiting for our next ride tomorrow morning...



Single speed rocks. I think.



Did I already mention the term 'beauty'? ;)

Btw, my very special Pure Golden Love baby is a 1960ies Capo (Viennese) racer, but I had it customized. Chances you'll find anything alike in Vienna tend to zero.

Yay for photos!

Just uploaded a whole bunch of pics I took at the BOKU (University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences, Vienna) the other day to Flickr...



Plus, obviously more important:
I met my friend Dodo at the Radlager Palazzo tonight, where we, while having an exquisite cool Club Mate ('You get used to it'), discussed some of our newest and most awesome project ideas - like the female-concentrated porn magazine project (current working title: Pornööö) we've just started to work on.
Further important projects that came to our feverish minds include the beauteous 'Active Morbid Emergence Night' bike project, or the yet unreasonably infamous but incredibly wise one-year-marriage project!

Atween, we took a short but fast ride on these exorbitantly beautiful bikes, me on my - hopefully - future one (it's single speed, no fixed gear though), built in Vienna in the early 1960ies - and yes, it's GOLDEN.
I absolutely love it:

Maybe there's a couple of things I might customize, though (at least the handlebar). Have to go back tomorrow for sure!
