Many thanks to all who came down to the recent Not Applicable Artists / Farai Records show in Berlin and gave us such a warm welcome, no special announcement was made, but I think we all empathised with Kennedy’s words in the wake of the event.
The night featured new generative visual work by Britt Hatzius and Ollie Bown, duo, trio and ensemble improvisations by Rudi Fischerlehner, Maurizio Ravalico, Isambard Khroustaliov, Lothar Ohlmeier, Tom Arthurs and Ollie Bown and a live set by Icarus (Ollie Bown and Sam Britton) accompanied by a film by Martin Hampton.

From Monday 10th August 2009, Channel 4 in the UK will start showing eight "3 Minute Wonders" Martin Hampton made with Yipp Films earlier in the year.
