the subtitles are beautiful here,
“Tell me muse of the story teller
He who has been thrust to the edge of the world
And through him both an infant and an ancient, reveal Everyman
With time, those who listened to me became my readers
They no longer sit in a circle
They sit apart now, one knows nothing about the other
I’m an old man with a broken voice
but my tale still rises from the depths of me”
Wim Wenders, 1987. Wings of Desire

Website
Useful website for strange and exciting sites and events going on in Berlin:
http://berlin.unlike.net/

Useful..
I shall be bringing my exciting new Micro Marshall (or fanny amp) to Berlin for us to play with. I'll also have a couple of contact mics for amplifying sounds in solid objects. I've been hibernating and geeking out just now and will hopefully buy a camcorder too. Can anyone recommend a decent but reasonably priced one? I need it to record sound in high quality more than anything else.
Check out John Grzinich for site specific field recording and workings of audio visual installations [Here].
Maybe also check out Lee Patterson, Chris Watson, Eric Leonardson and Alan Splet :)

Manuela the already existing barrel player...
My name is Manuela, I am part of this blog and I am going to berlin with a barrel music box to create a composition that responds to the city´s architecture. I am from Mexico, but study in Scotland.
In 1884 the tradition of the organ barrel was introduced to Mexico by an Italian. Barrel´s are originally from Germany.
There are 40 organs from Berlin in Mexico, and the majority of them get rented. There are only around 100 Barrel players still practicing the tradition in Mexico and the majority are in Mexico City, where I am from.
My name is Manuela, I am an ambassador of a very special kind.
I discovered barrel organs through a friend eleven years ago in Berlin.
Got myself a second hand one.... and now...:

We also had the chance to go to Chicago.!
Coincidences don´t exist.
