Strom – Electronic music festival

“The Philharmonie Berlin is one of Germany’s leading cultural institutions, an architectural landmark of the German capital and home to the Berliner Philharmoniker, one of the top orchestras of the world. The great hall, designed by architect Hans Scharoun with the stage in its centre and surrounded by seating on all sides, offers a unique acoustic setting and has served as a model for modern concert hall layouts around the world. Strom spans three distinct settings. The Main Auditorium for seated listening and audiovisual performances by Wolfgang Voigt/GAS, one of the most important and productive techno-concept artists since the early 1990s, Hauschka + Kai Angermann, and Robert Henke with his media-archaeological work ‘CBM 8032 AV’. Together with composer and sound designer Simon Stockhausen, members of the Berliner Philharmoniker are also part of the festival this time: the newly formed ensemble transformed acoustix is working on a world premiere for Strom. …”
