DEUTSCH:::
immer wieder verspüre ich den drang nach freiheit
diese freiheit lebe ich in berlin
freiheit , geistige und religöse toleranz lässt mich hier atmen.
berlin war 40 jahre geteilt und 28 jahre durch die mauer abgeschottet.
als kind hört ich die feuerschüsse von der anderen seite.
die alliierten wurden durch panzer die durch stadt ab und an fuhren
wahrgenommen.ich fühlte mich garnicht.
ein part meiner familie lebte im osten, wir waren voneinander getrennt.
am 9.nov.1989 fiel die mauer und wir ost und west
waren endlich wieder eins ...seitdem hat sich das leben
für uns alle verändert..globalisierung...deutschland war eines
..endlich schluss mit dem mauerterror, den 1000000 verboten im osten.
das vereinte berlin ist nun am atmen.
und der dunkel böse faschismus den verschlucken wir....der tut noch weh
aber das neue gibt mut.
ich bin glücklich über das vitale berlin. ich kann atmen.
und von ganzen herzen wünsche ich es jedem menschen auf diesen planeten.
leider ist das eine wunschvorstellung. i hope.
ENGLISH:::
over and over again I feel my drive towards freedom
this freedom I experience in berlin
It is the spiritual and religious tolerance here that gives me breath
berlin had been divided for more then 40 years and for 28 years it had been isolated by wall.
when I was a child I could hear the shots coming from the other side
one could perceive the allies by the noise of the armoured cars that used to pass through the city every once in a while
I did not feel myself. one part of my family lived in the east, we were separated.
on november 9th 1989 the wall came down and we - east and west - were finally united again. ever after the live of all of us changed…globalization….germany got finally together as one.
at last the wall-terror and the 1 million prohibitions in the east were over once for all
the unified berlin can now breath deeply.
we swallowed the bad and dark fashism,
fashism, still hurts but the new gives us courage
I am so happy about the vitality of berlin
I can breathe.
And I dearly wish that to every being on this planet
unfortunately this is just a wishful thinking. I hope.
finally it´s summer in berlin...bar 25, club der visionäre, lying on the green meadow between techno metropolis and blue sky.
the 10 years of bpitch control party at berghain on saturday 8th of august has been fantastic....the sound and the atmosphere were genial...just fun!!
for the rest I´m whirling around my new fashion line. designing the fall/winter line “24 hours jeans“ (which is already out) was such a great fun. every day i wear one item of that line....i´m addicted to it...
at the moment i´m collecting some outstanding tracks from our artists for our upcoming 10 years of bpitch control compilation. most of them are already ready...apart from that i still reel around between waves and vinyls: getting both together makes sense since many tracks aren´t available on both formats.
clubbing makes happy. music is the key of what i´m actually doing here...apart from other personal things obviously.
the melt festival has been incredible as usual. aside from the fact that the structure of the stage wasn´t good, the dj was way to far away from the crowd....although this problem has been removed on the sleepless floor...
bpitch control is currently boiling....we´re working on lots of new projects and we´re having fun while doing so. the fuckpony album which will appear in october 09 is dope, including its cover artwork. at the end of the creative process, when i have the finished product in my hand i always know that it was worth it.
i´m sitting at the office, i really like it: i can hear the bassdrum coming from sascha funke´s office and paul who´s currently working on a remix with flute....a quick tip: ellen allien fashion website we´ll have some upcoming sales...check it out!
apart from that thanks for the great nights i share with you....that gives the wish to more and more, again and again...
I am just back from the sun. I have been close to sea, listening to the wind.
Three weeks of silence. Doing nothing. Cut up from the world outside.
What a peace this has been!
Now, back in Berlin.
And I am feeling really good – it is good to be bacl.
The motor of city life makes my heart beating faster.
The Berlin rhythm wakes me up.
And I am working on so many pieces at the same time.
The beauty of creativity is back, I can feel it all around.
I feel very present, here and now.
And I try to feel love for everything I do.
The new ellenallien.de is online. Welcome! But despite OBAMA has won, wars are waged. Hate – violence – disease. Argh, we humans drive each other crazy. At Paul Kalkbrenner’s myspace is written: you are nervous. He is right, many of us are nervous. Om, shanti, om. Luckily, being nervous is none of my habits. Instead, I can see the beautiful aspects of life. And to be honest, I like it cozy ;).Here and now. Hic et nunc. Or maybe it is just looking like that? Haha… :)
Last week Squarepusher made me really happy. He is the king of electronic music for me. He did his only German gig in Volksbühne, a quite special theater in the east of Berlin. Unfortunately, the sound is always a catastrophe there when they have live acts. It was hurting a bit in my ears, so I had to put a tampon in my ear.. Ok, it has been a paper handkerchief.. But… And I had to close my eyes because of the visuals, because the LED wall has been made for big festival and not for small stages.. This has been quite strong! The volume and the light effects! Ouch! Bad sound and hurting visuals. Nevertheless, it has been a quite overwhelming experience, because I had to close my eyes and with that I started thinking.. And Mr. Squarepusher is so gorgeous! And fat sound! I was thinking about our sick military world, the omnipresent consumption, the insanity of humanity.. But out of this, I started becoming creative. I got ideas for my new project BE, colors and designs for ellen allien fashion where whirling through my head. Music enables my creativity and brings charm into my life. In the last months I spent too much time with pushing my label BPitch Control, instead of doing music. But now the path is ready for doing music on my own, finally. :)
See you on the dance floor. :)
