On October 24th, Röda Sten was turned into a temporary local radio station broadcasting electronic and unique live music for Klubb Dånk! Short-range FM transmitters and receivers got spread around the space and formed a radio channel serving as sound system for the evening’s live artists and DJs. This evening also started with the 4th edition of Dorkbot-GBG.

United Modulations: a large number of electronic solo acts challenged the sound system’s limits and opportunities in a concert marathon.

Curly Lou gave the audience a chance to relive a magic moment from 1907 when the Swedish opera singer Eugenia Farrar became the first person to sing on radio. Another act to unearth memories was Nim who performed on cassette walkmans and found super-8 films.

DJs Miss Cmy, Riri and VJ NYX provided irresistible techno and psychedelic visuals for the late hours.

Curly Lou performs emotional melodies from the 20th century’s first half, taking you back to glory days and lost moments of the past. Her performance will give the audience a chance to relive a magic moment from 1907 when the Swedish opera singer Eugenia Farrar became the first person to sing in radio.

Fredric Bergström is a sound artist, musician and member of several bands such as the death jazz / noise group Läder. At Dorkbot he will show his hurdy gurdy (bowed stringed musical instrument, vevlira in Swedish) processed by iphone and computer. (Presents at Dorkbot and performs live.)

Alex Berman a.k.a Nim performs live with cassette walkmans serving as musical instruments and simultanously as video players for found super-8 film. By manipulating the walkmans mechanically and processing the signal with guitar effects, rhythm and distorsion in video and audio is achieved. (Presents at Dorkbot and performs live.)
