Adventures in Musicland Berlin Electro posters

Adventures in Musicland: Berlin Electro
The electronic music scene in Berlin after the fall of the wall.
Music reporter and producer Adrian Hollay returns ‘home’ to explore how the German reunion made Berlin in the 90s the perfect location for the German techno scene. After discovering their freedom the East German generation-x and the West Berlin youth used the political vacuum in the city to establish a unique club and music scene. Adrian finds out how that shaped electronic music across the country, and its impact beyond Germany.

School for Birds
We visit violinist Mahuia Bridgeman-Cooper at his mangrove-flanked studio, where he talks us through the evolution of a song that has undergone a number of very distinct makeovers, in collaboration with Eye TV’s Sean Sturm.
