Inside the Studio (inbunden, eng)

Where music is created When you think of techno and electronic dance music, you first think of clubs and festivals, ecstatic dancers and enraptured DJs. But in which spaces is this music actually created? Artists' studios and writing rooms of authors and composers have long been the focus of public attention and research.

The studios of DJs and electronic music producers, however, have so far remained largely hidden. They can be found in darkened basements, abandoned factories, garages, and backyards, in magnificently converted lofts, formerly squatted houses, shared flats or teenage bedrooms.

Some exude the aura of monastic hermitages, in others production and party seem to merge into one another; still others look like rubbish dumps for electronic waste. Inside the Studio presents an inventory of this rich creative landscape in Berlin and Cairo. By interweaving photo documentation and interviews, the volume allows intimate insights into the hidden worlds of music production and becomes a surprising and touching portrait of one of the most exciting creative sectors of our time.

The project is based on a research project of the Arab-German Young Academy of Sciences and Humanities (AGYA) and was created in collaboration with Ricardo Villalobos, Cinthie, Frank Wiedemann, Modeselektor, Marcel Dettmann, Gudrun Gut, Westbam, Dr. Motte, Sarah Farina, Perera Elsewhere, Robert Henke, Roman Flügel, 3Phaz, Alva Noto/ Carsten Nicolai, and many others.
