ERUPTION    
4th / 5th July 2018 - Golden Pudel Club
A two-day happening freely based on Conrad Schnitzler. 
Schnitzler? Schnitzler! 

The self-proclaimed "Intermedialist" and pioneer of electronic avant-garde music worked on a marathon performance practice in the early years of his artistic career: in his short-lived but legendary Zodiac Free Arts Lab in Berlin in the late Sixties, he led his audience into a whirlwind of sensory experiences: Concerts, installations, videos, and performances interacted with each other and turned into events that still conjure a sparkle in the eyes of their visitors today. 
For two days, the Golden Pudel Club will open its doors already in the afternoon and continues to transform into the night. At times it will be a sound and video gallery, a concert space, a tape pop-up store, of course a club, and maybe even a hair salon.

Looks like quite the party. Best wishes that the Con spirit be blooming its fullest flower in one and all. Any plans for streaming or recording for those of us who must stay home?

    Gen Ken Montgomery


    I have been making my own homemade experimental music since 1981.

    I was an active participant in the 1980s Cassette Culture scene, and I operated Generations Unlimited with David Prescott and Conrad Schnitzler, and recorded solo as Gen Ken & Equipment, and in a duo with KMZ and Vision of Control.

    From 1989 to 1992 I ran Generator, a gallery, music shop, performance space and hangout for fringe culture and lovers of sound, noise and music and in 1994 I started A.T.M.O.T.W. (Art is Throwing Money Out The Window) which has kept me busy and smiling ever since.

    In the last 36 or so years I have recorded, produced and released and not released too many recordings for me to keep track of, and I’ve performed with too many people to list here (really I’m just too lazy to try to remember them all).

    I also love lamination. I perform Lamination Rituals as Egnekn, The Minister of Lamination in the Kingdoms of Elgaland-Vargaland.

    I’m a fan of haphazard collage and I design covers for LPs, CDs, Cassettes and 8-Tracks using Instant Art and Instant Covers technology. I also love postcards and have been sending them to friends for as long as I can remember using We Clip technology. I have been working on a website called Everybody Loves Postcards since 2009 and expect to have it functional one day soon.

     I am greatly indebted to the pioneer of home-taping—Conrad Schnitzler, who I met by exchanging music through the post, and have been lovingly dedicated to organizing events celebrating his life and work under the name
    CON-Mythology
    ​
    since his passing in 2011.
