Third mission project in the field of cultural mediation. The core idea of this project is to bring together two creative areas of electronic sound art that have so far had little contact with each other, namely electronica, which originates primarily from the pop music context, and institutionalized electroacoustic music. Not only the musicians from these two worlds, but above all the different audiences should be able to meet in a relaxed atmosphere. The Kulturbunker Köln-Mülheim e.V. community center was therefore chosen as the venue. The events themselves present themselves as a mixture of short musicological introductions, artist talks, audience discussions, concerts and sound performances. The participating artists include Artificial Memory Trace, Marc Behrens, Alessandro Bosetti, Brunhild Ferrari, If/Bwana, Radu Malfatti, Jérôme Noetinger, Jos Smolders, Asmus Tietchens, Kasper T. Toeplitz and Z'ev.
