Spielkinder brings live minimal techno to Beatburger Bites Back on February 26

One of the exciting additions to Beatburger Bites Back (the sequel to our 2010 Adelaide Fringe show, Beatburger) is a live performance by German minimal techno producer, Ulrich Eck (Spielkinder). Supermarket met Ulrich late in 2010, at a tedX event in Adelaide. Ulrich and his coworker Christian Sandor were presenting a talk on the intriguing topic of augmented reality (creating fusions of real and virtual world experiences), and demonstrating some cutting edge developments in the field. During lunch break, I struck up a conversation with Ulrich, who it turned out, also shared a passion for beats, parties and live performance. Hailing from Munich, Ulrich is half of Spielkinder, a duo formed in 2006, and has been involved with underground parties and dance music for many years, including designing and creating an elaborate mobile party truck for the famous Berlin Love Parade. Those who attended Beatburger in 2010 will have noticed an annual scaling up of the show in performing acts, audience size and production value. Something that you may not know however, is that we have grander plans to bring a variety of new and emerging technologies into our future events, and the extra-curricular tech skills of Ulrich will not be laid to waste! Ulrich's passion for AR is what brought him to Adelaide, but we'll make sure his musical talents are enjoyed to the full during his live set on February 26th. Spielkinder plays a twenty minute set following PhaseLockLoop, featuring audio-reactive video samples mixed by Supermarket.
