  • Hania Rani - Inspiration, Improvisation & Instruments
    The guest in this Electronic Beats Podcast is Hania Rani, an award-winning pianist, composer and singer hailing from Gdansk in Poland. Hania was initially inspired to study classical music and was later introduced to jazz and electronics at music school, widening her interests and as she puts it, “mixing Chopin & Schostakovitch with Dave Brubeck and Moderat”. Other inspirations include composers such as Max Richter, Esbjorn Svensson, Miles Davis, Nils Frahm, Murcof, Portico Quartet, Radiohead and even The Beatles. But Rani’s inspirations aren’t just musical, she has drawn inspiration from places she has lived and visited. Over the past few years Rani’s music has gained widespread recognition, earning many acclamations such as the Sanki Award as the “New Face of Polish Music” and Transatlantyk Golden Ark Award for “Best Young Polish Composer” amongst others. Recent years have seen Hiani scoring soundtracks for several movies, collaborating with the likes of Portico Quartet and Christian Löffler and performing live shows for ARTE and Cercle, her unfaltering drive has made Rani one of the most intriguing artists in the contemporary classical world.In this episode our Host Lindi Delight speaks with her about initial spark for her love for music, first touch with the piano, meaning of improvisation, classic and neoclassic music, Melancholie and much more.

  • Lichtdesign - von Berghain bis Moderat
    In diesem Electronic Beats Podcast dreht sich alles um die Magie des Lichts. Kein Club, Konzert, Show, Veranstaltung wäre ohne dieses oft unterschätzte Stilmittel denkbar. Licht schafft Atmosphäre, kreiert Stimmungen, hebt hervor oder lässt verschwinden und ist letztlich für die einzigartige Magie eines Ortes verantwortlich. Gesine hat mit zwei Lichtdesignern gesprochen, die die technischen Skills und die Kreativität besitzen, um das ästhetisch dramaturgische Potential von Licht voll auszuschöpfen: Christoph Schneider ist ein Virtuose und setzt Musiker und Bands wie Moderat, Casper oder Marteria ins Rampenlicht. Natalie Heckl trifft man u.a. im Umfeld von Christopher Bauder oder im Berghain, wo sie eine perfekte Symbiose aus Licht und Musik erschafft, für die der Club weltberühmt ist. Beide erzählen von der Vielseitigkeit des Jobs, den Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten durch Licht, ihren Anfängen am Lichtpult, Spannungserzeugungen, von Unterschieden zwischen Club und Live, vom Raumverständnis, von den Vorbereitungen einer Lichtshow, von Zusammenarbeit mit den Künstlern, von dem VLLV, von Equipment und von ihren Lieblingsfarben.

  • Bill Bernstein - New York, Disco & Photography

    Joining us on this Electronic Beats podcast is the iconic documentary photographer Bill Bernstein who talks with us fresh off the back of the recent release of his new book ‘Last Dance’. A photographic glimpse through Disco’s hey days at some of the genre’s most revered affiliate club spaces such as Studio 54, Paradise Garage and Mudd Club.

    Bernstein’s work has captured the heart and soul of the Disco scene of 1970’s New York, the beginnings of club culture and its accompanying fashion, style and the feelings of freedom and liberation that come with it. He’s also been Sir Paul McCartney’s personal photographer since 1989, photographed Keith Richards and even delved back into the contemporary electronic music scene of New York to photograph the people of Brooklyn’s current nightlife and club circuit in the project ‘Brooklyn Nites’.
