This print also refers to a tarot card, namely the “Fool”. The Fool represents new beginnings, having faith in the future, being inexperienced, not knowing what to expect, having beginner’s luck, improvisation and believing in the universe.

This release documents the entire performance, split into eight parts.
The originally arranged songs from “Undesirable Creatures” were broken down into individual tracks and elements and then remixed and re-arranged live during the performance. Images and motifs from Matt Howarth’s graphic short story on which the initial music is based on were presented in the backdrop.

Music based on the Release „Undesirable Creatures“ by Bernhard Wöstheinrich Matt Howarth
ELSEWHERE PROJECT: Bernhard Wöstheinrich: Video- and Stage Direction; Video Edit Volker Lankow: Sampler, Drones & Percussions Lukas Radiomodul: Live-Arrangement & Sampler
A studio session recorded on December 17, 2021, Berlin, Germany. The session was recorded in one go, with no overdubs and no pre-arrangements.
With this release we are referring to “Internationales Congress Centrum Berlin” (abbreviated ICC Berlin), one of the largest conference centres in the world. It is 320 metres long, 80 metres wide and 40 metres high. It opened in 1979 as sort of a counterpart to another iconic futuristic building in Berlin, the Palace of the Republic, which had opened only three years before.
The ICC Berlin is a landmark of German post-war architecture, in which the spirit of an optimistic modernism is very present.
But if you look at the building up close now, the corrosion is already pretty obvious. In addition to that, the whole building is contaminated with asbestos. It seems that it became a symbol of decay of the promises for a better future that we were once given.
ABOUT TABOTAGO SESSIONS SERIES
TaboTago is all about experimenting, playing and performing electronic music together. A lot of material has been created during live concerts and recording sessions over the past years, still ongoing in the present. We are making this material available to our audience in a TaboTago Sessions Series. The music presented here was played mostly under live conditions or similar.
We sincerely hope you will enjoy the time listening to our musical diary… or more timely put, to TaboTago’s audio blog!
Ranging from floating ambient sections, classically inspired synthesizer music to sequencer work-outs and innovative electronica this record documents how Bernhard already then has developed his personal way of performing complex orchestral live looping performances without pre-arrangements.
The release “Live in New Jersey 2011” is from the same tour, and it is very interesting to listen this music in comparison and to understand the connection between the individual performances.
