In addition to interviews of 12 musicians/1 group residing
in Berlin (Gregor Hotz, Nicholas Bussmann, Merle Bennett,
Thomas Ankersmit, Ignaz Schick, Hans Strobl, Pure, Annette
Krebs, Andrea Neumann, Caramel Empties, Alessandro Bosetti,
Boris Baltschun, and Kai Fagaschinski), this "extra"
issue of IMJ features 2 CDs with 18 tracks by a total of over
30 musicians, almost all of whom are Berlin residents: Adeline
Rosenstein/Andrea Neumann, Annette Krebs/Steffi Weismann,
Kommando Raumschiff Zitrone, Michael Thieke Unununium, Lucio
Capece/Axel Doerner/Robin Hayward, Tunar, Alessandro Bosetti,
Tony Buck/Andrea Neumann, Sink, Marzipan Marzipan, Kalkuel
& Leidenschaft, Boris Hauf, Phillip Sollman, Thomas Ankersmit,
Ignaz Schick/Jason Forrest, Burkhard Beins, Rechenzentrum,
and blumm?. The interviews were conducted by Toshimaru Nakamura
during a visit to Berlin in January 2005 (with the exception
of the email interview of Annette Krebs by Taku Sugimoto,
which took place between January and April 2006). In addition
to discussing their musical activities, the artists share
many of their thoughts about the Berlin scene. Their candid
views reveal the dynamism that has characterized that scene
since the late '90s. Berlin musician Nicholas Bussmann was
in charge of the selection of artists for the accompanying
CDs, and the result is an ideal compilation for those who
want to know more about today's Berlin scene. Through the
words and music of musicians on the scene, this issue explores
the current situation of improvised music (and related genres)
in Berlin.
