Each night at 7pm Radiophrenia presents a live performance in the theatre, which is free to attend.
Paralektronoia examines the correlation between electricity and paranormality. In his lecture performance – which is based on his 2004 radio play for WDR broadcast – Felix Kubin introduces a subjective choice of pervasive concepts of different realities using audio examples that range from interviews and live music, excerpts from radio plays, to sound experiments. In order to track down „Paralektronoia“, he collected inventors and musicians who research the effects of invisible oscillations on the psyche using systematical field studies and radiophone experiments.
Listen to your inner voices. Your radio is listening, too.
Featuring interviews with a.o. Alvin Lucier, Carl Michael von Hausswolff, Lionel Marchetti, Asmus Tietchens and Mika Vainio, as well as diverse scientists.

Felix Kubin is one of electronic music's most dynamic and versatile performers. A lovechild of the home recording era, his activities include futuristic pop, radio plays, electroacoustic music, and works for chamber orchestra. Kubin's music is saturated with enthusiasm for disharmonic pop, industrial noise, and 20th-century avant-garde music. In the last 20 years, he has released a diverse array of albums and played over 100 electronic music festivals. He likes to move between high and low culture, clubs and concert halls, as his main concern is the shifting of contexts and expectations.
At the age of 12, Felix started to compose electronic 4-track music with a synthesizer, an organ, a cheap casio keyboard and a drumcomputer. He wrote his own lyrics and performed live on Punk and New Wave festivals when he was 14. Since then he was fascinated by experimental pop music and especially electronic sound machines. Hamburg's impresario Alfred Hilsberg (founder of the ZickZack label) had invited his band "Die Egozentrischen 2" several times to play at his notorious festivals.
Since 2001, Felix has been writing and producing radio plays (in Germany called "Hörspiele") for national radio stations WDR, BR, DLR, SWF and Vienna's ORF Kunstradio. He has composed music for several film and theatre productions as well as chamber orchestras.
