In the third episode of Jade on Jade Adrian Shephard interviews the main character of the series about her recent trip to Japan. Reluctantly she throws in some postcards. Adrian keeps on asking because he knows there is more. Jade has come back from Japan with the attitude of the silent Zen Master. Questions are like flies. One should learn not to bother. You will only care about flies if you have a fly brain. But Adrian keeps on buzzing and bit by bit he collects the pieces of the…
Adrian Shephard resurrected an ancient Radio On show from the data cemetery. He washed the corpse, connected some wires, waited for a thunder storm, made sure that the lightning would strike and voilà, the voices came back, the characters took shape and there they were in the flesh and blood. A drama unfolds in which Lucifer shows God and his little helper around on his real estate. Ghost stories, the guillotine, cemeteries, the plague, a plan, a jester and a minstrel are just a few of the many elements of…

“Isn’t Everything Poetry?” is a monthly event featuring poets, authors and spoken-word performers. It is hosted by Curious Fox Books. Situated in the heart of Neukölln, the poetry evenings have become a popular feature in the Berlin cultural life.

Ilia Kitup has a website. It informs you about zines, books, authors and poems. Alistair Noon might…
Any student at an advanced academy for music and assorted experimental sonic behaviour should be given a cassette walkman with an inbuilt microphone. Not to play all the sweet cassettes that grow from the big rose of audio tapes. It would serve as a recording tool. It would open new perspectives; it would open the ears to the very far end of lo-fi recordings. The recordings could reveal secrets of the mystic and the obvious and how these two worlds can meet. The works of Dai Coelacanth could be a…
One July evening, just before the heatwave landed on Berlin like a big invisible space ship, Shephard and Van Alebeek embarked on a two hour sonic journey. Acting as Radio Staalplaat, sending their waves to the world through dfm.nu, internet radio from Amsterdam, the duo tried to stop the total meltdown. The studio turned red, temperature went up. They twisted knobs and spoke with plants. Nothing helped. They went somewhere. At the end they were back in the studio, a point of no return. You want to submit your…

Everything exists today. But … yesterday’s anger is today’s bliss. So, here’s Ken Montgomery again, together with Crystal Penelosa to visit LL and have a talk…
