Dr.Nojoke
moves between experiment, club, art and Pop always
on the search for special moments and a musical
definition of his present time.
Through recording, contortion and transformation of heard sounds - (such as very short ones or not actively noticed background/environmental sounds, which are covered/faded out by routine of our ears and brain) Dr.Nojoke makes you realize the sounds from everyday life. The selective process of all the noises is decisive, to differentiate between just noise and the individuality of a single noise.
Well-known
or established things are fragmented and put together in
wrong or just different orders.
Dr.Nojoke loves those small
noises. His sound archive is full of popping, clicking,
scratching, smacking and quirky sounds, he found with
his microphone.
He
searches
for the things, which are inbetween and behind the things
and pays attention to the unpredictable and incidental. Like
a surgeon he dissects his recorded noises and instruments,
selects, edits and processes them, weaves a new structure
and combines them with some electronic sounds and effects:
In the 47Kubik performance on a noisy
level (like a mix of a radio play and a Musique Concrete
piece), on the CDs Flucht nach Barbylon and
Barbylon Tapes II as kind of a Lounge music and
in his Clikno-tracks in form of club-oriented.
Inspirational sources are perceptions and observations
from all medias (computer, TV, radio, film, photo,
print…) and real surroundings (appartment, architecture,
street art, exhibitions, people…), not to mention
favourite artists.
Intuition and
intention meet in a playful process based on Dr.Nojoke`s subjective-emotional
and -rational experiences.
For the
manifestation and production Dr.Nojoke uses different working
processes and always new arrangements of sounds specifically
for each project.
He strives for a synthesis of club, art, moods and spaces between process and presentation, improvisation and composition, intuition and intention, between man and machine, that is transformed into a lively process!
As a
musician Dr.Nojoke attaches great importance to a
permanent redefinition - reinventing himself and
reflecting his work - while avoiding/discarding clichees.
His concerts, performances and DJ-sets in galleries,
cafés, clubs and parties provide evidence of this.
