SIGNAL ZIRKUS

What is SIGNAL ZIRKUS about?

At SIGNAL ZIRKUS electronic musicians have a chance to try out their live sets on a proper PA at a regular venue in front of an interested audience.

SIGNAL ZIRKUS crew dedicates this evening to people who want to experience electronic music live set ups – either you are listening or performing.

CONCEPT

  • There is an open call for artists who want to show their live approach about a month befor the next show.
  • Up to 4 (four) performers/acts – stage time is discussed individually.
  • This is the place to try out yourself, develop your live performance, check your ideas.
  • Experimental approaches welcome, nothing to hide or to be scared of.
  • Get out of your studio, connect with other enthusiasts.

If you have something interesting up your sleeve related to electronic sound generation (hardware, software, computers, synthesizers, field recordings, live coding – all is welcome), that you think we should experience – be so kind and perform!

What is MANEGE FREI about?

SIGNAL ZIRKUS also hosts an alternative format called MANEGE FREI.

Every once in a while we organize an event that is even more open to public and is all about gathering electronic musicians of all kinds. MANEGE FREI mostly starts around 4 pm and consists of 2 parts.

CONCEPT

  • Part 1: SIGNAL ZIRKUS crew sets up tables each equipped with a small audio mixer. The artists showing up, are welcome to choose a table and set up their gear. More musicians will join and the jam can begin.
  • Part 2: „Der heiße Draht“ (the hot wire) – at the end of the afternoon most of the „tables“ created unique music through jamming. A cable is passed throughout the venue and each group comes to perform/present their jam to the other musicians.

Announcements for MANEGE FREI will go through our social media outlets as well as through our website. No application needed. Just be there at the gioven date and bring your favourite sound making device. We got you covered in case you don’t own any gear. We always have some electronics for this purpose.
