John Berndt

A fully immersive, shared listening experience in a high-fidelity environment. Modeled on the “jazz kissas” founded in Tokyo in the 1950’s in which people gathered to drink and listen to records, The Selector Series features a guest “selector” (DJ) who chooses a record that’s important to them that we then play that evening.

The Selector for this event is John Berndt. Best known to the public as a prolific musician, composer and improviser and as a key organizer in the scene around the international High Zero festival, Berndt’s work from the very beginning also involved the creation of coherent novelties in a broader range of media, including personal behavior, film, visual art, text, installation and a variety of non-musical performance genres. Driven by his unique philosophy and collaborations, his panoramic sensibility is characterized by a dizzying non-reductionism and careful pheonominolgical research in the context of philosophical radicalism. He often attempts to go beyond the limits of rationalism without defaulting to "the humanities" side of the civilization's world-outlook. (Source: johnberndt.org)

The record chosen for a close, intimate listening is Brian Eno & David Byrne's *My Life in the Bush of Ghosts.*

This is an 18+ event.
