about

After my debut album "Too Tall To Dance" I'm still pushing two things. First is making the most complexistic rhythms sounding as bouncy as possible. I developed a lot of my rhythmic influences (Carnatic Music, Experimental European Music of the 20th century) further into my own rhythmic systems, where I'm now able to imagine and concretely play more complex rhythms like triple nested tuplets in a polyrhythm like 31 over 17, means I play another 5 over e.g. certain 7 hits out of the 31 and then I play another 5 over certain e.g. 3 hits of the 5, haha. The idea is to change speeds very quickly, but with a completely awareness of what I'm doing. But still I'm mixing this approach with a more open Black American Music influenced kind of improvising.

Major tasks of our time are probably the understanding of complex interrelations and contexts, to tolerate ambiguities - at the same time to resolve paradoxes - and to describe problems as concretely as possible. This album is by no means an attack on contingency, nevertheless a laudation to the concrete and a rebuff to the vague.

Second is to mix that knowledge about rhythm with Dance and Electronic Beats Music, to create Future Dance Steps, means checking out how people need to move differently within my live sets. It's the coolest pleasure if people come after a concert and tell me that they moved their bodies in a way they never did before. Bämmy, haha.

Most likely, no (human) being perceives time as something uniform or evenly progressing. Although I am the biggest fan of and strongly influenced by straight (programmed) beats and in the pocket grooves, at the same time i see rhythm and life and „the world“ (if it exists at all, in the way most people think of it) much more irregular, contrasty, multi-layered, diverse, multimorphic and full of dance and movement contingencies. In this sense the album wants to be a glimpse into the beats future or bringing postcontemporary beats and move(ment)s into the present. Yippie.

And a last thing, my three personal slogans: ethic endless fun, imagination unlimited, demanding power from below, means: have as much fun as possible without hurting someone else (especially marginalized people and non-human entities, too), imagine the most way-out things within your work or passion, push your creativity as much as possible to reach something new and (most probably most important) join at least one political, social, plural economic, future-orientated movement and fight for a better "world".

Have fun listening. Peace out!


Beatdenker's Postcontemporary Beats fusing the spirit and knowledge of beat music, jazz, carnatic music, new music, IDM and electronica into a futuristic experience. He plays live and improvises every time anew. The hyperactive beat fire heats up the audience so much that the sonic waves coaxes their "future dance steps" out of them. The end result is a wicked live set full of action and interaction.

Beatdenker's self developed and unprecedented rhythmic language, forward-thinking sound design and hyper creative composing and improvising are bringing a fresh, encouraging, bouncy, dancy, concrete, fat, real, spirited, bubbly sound and feel from his future to our present.

Beatdenker is a guitar player, composer, producer, (rhythm) researcher, tutor, thinker, (festival) organizer, postcontemporary, subcultural creator, feminist, real-utopist, common welfare orientated, motivator, in solidarity with marginalized groups, traveler, passionated laugher, part of Berlin Subwater Beats collective and privileged inhabitant of planet earth.

Beatdenker does, tries and or believes in pluralism, doing things together, experiments, multicollectivity, endless fun, multiperspectivity, recovering again and again, celebrating and appreciating life, connecting collectives, failing and learing process, exchange, consistency, sustainability, peace, thinking from the future, correlation, connectivity, respect and random stuff.

REVIEWS

„Ethic Endless Fun offers an eye-opening 32-minute journey away from the standard musical structures and into the unknown. An alternate and refreshing vision of the concept of rhythm brings the unconventional to the dancefloors. There is no space for shying away from moving your body in all sorts of different ways as well as wearing outfits allowing you free-roam through those sonic landscapes. While reminiscent of the infinitely layered patterns of nature Beatdenker is letting you find your own rhythm.“ - LT1KF – Mexico City

„Beatdenker is making a phantasmagorical metaverse of sound for us to explore, and there is nothing to restrict the train of thought. Not only is it rare, I think this is the first time you’ll be experiencing this. It has references to sound ages, and creates its own, within the funnel of sound travel. Beatdenker is much more than an artist, he is a beat manufacturer and connoisseur. If the gold is at the end of the rainbow, you better travel it on his terms. Beatdenker executes some digital sorcery with strange overlaps and technical magic.“ - MusicIndieFlix – Bangalore

„I was stuck admiring Beatdenker’s dedication and unfaltering vision that easily stitches the endless knots that form these 10 pieces of music. It is also cause for admiration that throughout this entire album, Beatdenker managed to effortlessly evade using any beats or passages that use common time, or even usual beats of any remotely common musical style. Instead, every passage seems to be a self-contained rhythmic idea, A must-listen.“ - Sistra Music – Cairo

„A Masterpiece, perfect for fans of instrumental electronic and glitch music.“ - EL News – Accra

„Really SENSATIONAL!
If there is something rewarding coming from authorial artistic work, it is the sound and conceptual daring, a total absence of fear in the face of the hardships dictated by the market in the form of trends. The composition produced with soul and with the sole commitment of expressing it condensed in songs full of honesty, is the tonic of the artist from Berlin, Beatdenker, in his most recent release in album format, “Ethic Endless Fun”!“ - Music For All – Rio De Janeiro
„A cutting-edge 10-track album. Beatdenker is able to create a truly unique and captivating sound that is sure to mesmerize audiences. You could focus on the way sonic matter is perceived in society, trying to innovate formulas and sounds to achieve a higher iteration of what we call ‘art’. Beatdenker is one of those figures. The last in a long line of electronic music pioneers.“ - Mesmerized/YMK – London

„Incredibly innovative, an extremely eclectic avant-garde release.“ - Space Sour – Planet Earth

„Beatdenker is a meta artist. Beatdenker’s art is a wormhole to a post-contemporary era of music with its unprecedented sound design and arrangements. The artist’s work carves out a sonic utopia guided by remarkable rhythm languages and prophetic creativity. The hyper-activity and sonic themes set the stage for what is to come. It slices through the fabric of normalcy and overwrites it with new rules. As a thinker, creator and idealist, Beatdenker builds music that immortalizes the multiworlds that form in his mind. Using high funk and spirited beats, Beatdenker created visceral experiences that engage the mind, body, and spirit. The artist is made versatile by his knowledge of beat music, jazz, Carnatic music, new music, IDM, and electronica. He fuses them to create high end futuristic sci-fi experiences that are sure to open the mind.“ - Sinus Oidal Music – Bangalore
„Epic and from the future!“ - The Further – Paris

„Beatdenker synthesizes the concept of sound experimentation to the max by offering us an elaborate staging of his creative vein that takes the form of a futuristic and avant-garde listening experience. Listening to the entire album in its entirety is an experience likened to a long walk through the most experimental and provocative pavilion of the Venice biennale.“ - Artisti Online – Bologna

„A mind-bending experience and fascinating electronic voyage. The energetic beats with their improvisational magic are arriving from jazz’s spontaneity. Music truly has no boundaries and Beatdenker’s music stands as a pleasant narrative for it.“ - Illustrate Magazine – New York City

„Electronic genius Beatdenker takes us to the future, A surreal atmosphere take over our imagination, the incredible energy that makes us float and suddenly we are no longer living our daily chaos. The album causes great feelings and experiences in those who listen, it takes a lot of talent to do something so good and authentic, bringing a novelty to the saturated electronic world, telling a story without using a word, simply electrifying and magical. Exquisite and incredibly intelligent work.“ - Indieoclock – Rio De Janeiro
