On January 24, legendary electronic music innovator Moritz von Oswald presents a new live show entitled Akklamation. This performative composition unifies the expansive and divergent musical paths of the electronics master. From his origins in the German new wave, to his pioneering work in the intersection of dub and various strands of electronic music, to his more recent forays into the fringes of experimental music and composition, Akklamation serves as an investigation into the future of rhythmic structures, timbral architecture, and an exploration of the psycho-physical effects of repetition. Moritz von Oswald remains one of the defining figureheads of the so-called “Sound of Berlin” as a member of Basic Channel, Rhythm & Sound, Maurizio, and as one half of the Borderland duo alongside Juan Atkins. As a driving force behind the emergence of dub techno, he is widely considered as pivotal in the progression of electronic music since the early 90s.
