It’s time
to hybridize

Our friend and fellow funkhaus comrade Vincent Moon has just finished a very special project together with his wife Priscilla Telmon. For the past three years they have immersed themselves in an experimental-ethnographic study of current day spiritual cults in Brazil. They will soon begin presenting their incredible work around the world, and we’re delighted that one of their stops along the way this summer will be here at the hotel. Here’s some further information (…)

Black Magic Baby Jesus –
Exhibition & Performance by Ramin Krause

We met Ramin when he was here for Michelberger Music, alongside Vincent Moon and his crew of filmmakers. A couple of weeks ago Ramin told us about a special project he has been working on… One year ago I sailed on a sail boat around the South Pacific and when our boat broke, I was stranded on a small Island. I ended up staying for 6 months, living in villages (…)

Michelberger Music People – Vincent Moon & some of

Vincent Moon
Channel

We’re big fans of Mr. Vincent Moon. But not only that, we think the work that he does and the films he makes are so very important. They document music rituals from around the world; primal human experiences which are becoming increasingly rare in our so-called ‘advancing’ civilisation. So to do our little bit to get these films in front of people we set up a Vincent Moon Channel on our (…)

Vincent Moon reminded
us why we choose to be here.

From a conversation following the screening, sometime during the night: “….knowing exactly how it feels floating through Berlin’s summer-airy streets, wondering about that new bar someone you know runs… …glancing at people, drinking coffee while discussing death and life, careless.. drifting and pondering what to do next.. another white wine on this improvised winebox and pallet terrace in mitte… allowing the day to pass like it is… A friend you (…)

Vincent Moon

This Sunday (23rd Feb), we’re very happy to welcome Vincent Moon to the hotel for a screening of some of his work. He’ll be showing a film from his short film series ‘From ATP’. These are a collection of six short films shot over four years at the UK music festival All Tomorrow’s Parties and they present a fan’s eye view from one of the most unique and uncompromising music events (…)
