Music and Performance, Made On The Spot: Hacklab, Open Call in Berlin
The worst experience any performer can have is not being prepared for a performance. This could be due to a number of reasons, like not being prepared for unexpected things or even for stupid reasons - like not performing a sound check before its on. While this scenario exists as a possibility for even the most experienced - those who have been doing such things for a living know how to deal with problems when they are faced. Often times, things just seem to work out, not matter how ill-advised things may seem in face value. You know that feeling when the pressure is on, and everything magically works out, even though the odds are against you? Most performances are practiced until every scenario is eventually worked out. But there are some out there who like the idea of having to perform on the fly. The music makers from Hacklab know too well about how to create something from nothing. These performers gather together and basically create a full concert in only a short span of time. They come unprepared, yet they come with ideas that will eventually be used to create something magical. It is the geeks and hackers out there who make it all happen. http://createdigitalmusic.com/2013/12/music-performance-made-spot-hacklab-open-call-berlin/
