DETOX in the basement for the second time. For our washing cycle in April, we once again used the basement of our apartment block in Berlin Kreuzberg, which is open to the street. It’s a rarely entered, rather hidden place – it’s also where the electricity meters for the whole house are located. The room thus becomes a kind of control centre. We used it as a metaphor for invisible entanglement, complexity and opacity. Musically, this time we used a very lean setup of a few washing sounds that are electronically amplified via transducers with cleaning buckets positioned on the street. In this wash cycle, the focus was on listening to one’s own four walls via microphone and feedback. 98% despair, 2% humour.
