SYNOPSIS

"Fm Einheit + Irmler: Live at Berghain" is the title of the third film within the "play loud! (live) music series". It features two giants of German avant-garde pop music. Hans Joachim Irmler is the founding member of the krautrock legend Faust, inventors of industrial rock. FM Einheit is a former member of Einstürzende Neubauten and a recognized industrial percussionist. The historical encounter was captured by filmmakers Dietmar Post and Lucia Palacios in the style of Direct Cinema at the famous Berlin club Berghain.

REVIEWS

"(...) both performers are producing a unique sound together. Irmler alone would have offered a kind of psychedelic soundtrack, like his 2006 solo album Lifelike. FM alone is always a concrète music performance, but leaning on Irmler's kosmische sounds he adds epic action in this cinematic atmosphere. Almost symbolic of a body/mind relationship, the duo is a worthy collaboration, and its muscular and hazy music definitely an impressive live experience."
Concert review by Antoine Richard, founder of "The V Sessions"

"Es folgten, im fahlen Licht weißer Scheinwerfer, FM Einheit und HJ Irmler mit einem Auftritt von ätherischer Pracht. Von der Decke des Berghains hängende Industrie-Bassfedern wurden von Einheit mit Stahlstiften, Gummihämmern und Bohrmaschinen bearbeitet, dazu orgelte Irmler, als wähnte er sich in einer verwunschenen französischen Kathedrale."
Aus dem Blog "Dissonanz" von Max Dax

"Die abwechslungsreiche, sonntag-abendgerecht entspannte Weise, in der die beiden miteinander Klangflächen flochten und sich Irmlers spirituell geweitetes Keyboardgebrumm mit Einheits zärtlichem Hammer- und Bohrmaschinengebrauch mischte, zerstreute jede Bedenken. Irgendwann in der Mitte des Auftritts blieb Einheit dann noch mit seiner kleinen Bohrmaschine in einer großen Spirale stecken; ein Bild von ausgewachsen begeisternder Sexualmetaphorik."
Jens Balzer Berliner Zeitung

CONCEPT BEHIND THE PLAY LOUD! (LIVE) MUSIC SERIES:

The "play loud! (live) music series" has been initiated by filmmakers Dietmar Post & Lucía Palacios (responsible for monks – the transatlantic feedback, Reverend Billy, Klangbad, Franco’s Settlers). The series parts from three ideas, Alan Lomax's work as an archivist and chronicler, John Peel's BBC radio sessions and the work of Direct Cinema pioneers, such as, Maysles Brothers, Leacock, Wildenhahn and Pennebaker. Filming live shows meant not to do it in a TV style but in a very personal, intuitive and adventurous style – nothing is staged for filming. You go along as it happens. Some of the live performances are filmed with only one camera in one continuous shot without any edits. Some critics have labeled it as "filmed paintings/painted films".

play loud!’s music films have been called: “raw”, “rough”, “canny”, “straightforward”, “adventurous”, “witty”, “insightful”, “direct”, “non-tricksy”, “economic”, “minimal”, “unpretentious handheld camera work”, "artful film paintings" …

play loud!’s intention is to furthermore create an extensive archive of interesting popular music that includes also the possibility to screen/stream material that comes from other sources.
