zeitkratzer was founded 1997 at the Podewil/Berlin and gained great
international attention since: zeitkratzer is not only a new ensemble, but
puts into practice a new ensemble model. The musicians - who are all
renowned solo aritsts - as well as guest musicians and composers come from
all over Europe to work with zeitkratzer. A fundamental musical openness
signifies their music and working method: they cooperate with experimental
musicians from the electronic scene as well as with composers of new music,
Japanese noise musicians or improvisors. Amongst the ranks of the musicians
are Lou Reed, MERZBOW, Elliott Sharp, Mario Bertoncini, Phill Niblock, Terre
Thaemlitz, Carsten Nicolai and Keith Rowe.

Within the MondayMusic series in March 2001 zeitkratzer attend to new works
next to Avantgarde classics. Stockhausen?s "Mikrophonie I" or Spahlinger?s
"Ver(über)flüssigung der Funktion des Komponisten" proove to be
astonishingly actual and very close to the young composers of electronic
music. Different variants of Phillip Glass? early piece "music in fifth" and
Lou Reed?s compositions from "metal talk/poetry", which have been premiered
by zeitkratzer in the summer of 2000, connect the single MondayMusic
performances. Besides that there will be one of the pure audio-studies by
Spanish Biologist and radical composer of electronic music Francisco Lopez
(Madrid), who this time will not only blindfold the audience but also the
musicians. The fruitful work wih Carsten Nicolai (alva-noto, Berlin) will be
continued as well as the cooperation with Manuel Goettsching (Ashra Tempel),
based on his Techno record of reference "E2-E4". Moreover, it can be
signified as spectacular that the prominent electronic artist Vladislav
Delay is working with an ensemble for the first time. With the invitation of
Annette Krebs zeitkratzer stays in duty of outstanding up-and-coming
musicians. John Duncan, Bernhard Guenter and the New York composer Michael
Schuhmacher stand in for a new generation to whom electronic ways are as
familiar as sound installations or instrumental music .

"I'm listening to the music and It?s amazing, really amazing?"
(Lou Reed, 9/2000)

"das aufragend gute ensemble zeitkratzer berlin steht über allem kiez und
klüngel, indem es neues multimusikertum praktiziert, und für weltstädtische
qualität kann die besetzung mit den allerbesten jungen musikern aus den
metropolen europas - aus london, paris, wien, rom, köln für die junge alte
hauptstadt berlin besser nicht gewählt sein." (Hans-Joachim Hespos,
Delmenhorst)

"zeitkratzer verfügt über einen sensationellen Sound." (taz, 31.05.2000)

"... da geraten in der Tat traditionelle Wertigkeiten des Abendlandes ins
Trudeln." (FAZ, 7.07.2000)

"Bei zeitkratzer ist die Enttäuschung bequemer Erwartungshaltungen und
Hörgewohnheiten Programm." (Tagesspiegel, 1.06.2000)
