Early inspiration
Träume - Günter Eich
An extremely scary radio play from 1951 which, despite being preceded by a warning, caused a storm of protest from traumatised listeners. “Who is this man Eich?”, wrote one, “ Can’t you lock him up?”
Generation Kassette - Die Stimmen unserer Kindheit
WDR Hörspiel-Speicher. Less controversial than Träume, a radio documentary about the German tradition of recorded plays (Hörspiele) for children which formed an important part of Felix’s childhood.
Deutsche Kassettentäter #1
Part 1 of Felix’s lovingly curated collection of the work of German bands from the early 1980’s. Info. Listen on Radio Web MACBA. Very cool.
Hörspiele / Radio Plays
Paralektronoia
Even for the non German speaker, Paralektronoia is fairly easy to follow.
Mother In The Fridge
Felix subjects his poor mother to a series of audio indignities.
Liedertafel Margot Honecker
Felix’s responsibility in the Kommunistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands (Communist Unity Party of Germany) was music and he directed the Liedertafel Margot Honecker. MP3s of this post-Soviet German communist musical propaganda are available at, of all things, WFMU (and, ofc, the tubes of you).
Don’t miss the short film Rote Grütze.
