From March to September 2021 – As the world is unravelling this past year, cultural events in physical space remain postponed indefinitely. Most of these happenings have shifted online with artists and audiences atomized across the world, connect- ing via 0s and 1s. With Easterndaze x Berlin, the connection between communities and collectives will be symbolic – it will not happen physically per se, nor via online streams or virtual get-togethers. FB event: link
“An Embrace” is a collaborative project between the Bulgarian experimental music collective Amek and the German music label Vaagner. “An Embrace” is a mutual undertaking that aims to create a bridge between two communities from different cultural environments in Eastern and Western Europe, by pairing artists from the respective regions into four duos. The final results will be compiled and presented as a joint release of Amek and Vaagner, comprising both a limited edition cassette tape and an accompanying rise-printed zine – formats that have been the key element of DIY labels and initiatives for many decades. The zine will offer further insight into the creative process of the release, including interviews with the artists and information about the activities of the labels involved.
