deadBatteryMusic Pt.2

dBM 2026 workshop & festival

20. - 24. May 2026 @ Kulturgüter-Schuppen, Bahnhofstr.16  D-72144 Dusslingen

dbm
1)  dBm (deciBel-milliwatts) is a unit of power level expressed using a logarithmic decibel (dB) scale respective to 1 mW. This is not what we are talking about here :-)

2) acronym for "dead Battery music". dBm occurs when electronic circuits that generate audio signals, not necessarily musical instruments in the narrower sense, have their power supply reduced to such an extent that they generate artifacts or even completely different signals than in normal operation. This process is also known as “power starving”. Oscillator circuits with CMOS logic gates have proven to be particularly suitable. 

This year Uwe Schüler and Ralf Schreiber created a circuit with results from last years workshop in a compact instrument named PISHNOISE.

On Friday 5th at 3pm CET you can hear music that elicits sounds from PISHNOISE using minimal voltage in a different way by Rungler & FlipFloaterTimi Lebt!, FlipFloater, und DRKMBNT. All tracks were recorded during the deadBatteryMusic #2 workshop and concert night at KulturgüterSchuppen Dusslingen.

Tune it at Camp Radio!

DRKMBNT

music with self-soldered sound tools

DRKMBNT is a live act that performs its music with self-soldered sound tools. The sound tools were mostly developed by friends with whom DRKMBNT regularly meets privately or at soldering festivals. From time to time, DRKMBNT modifies these tools, as in the “Tiny Techno Orchestra” project. The orchestra consists of 10 circuits, each made up of a CMOS chip, a few resistors and capacitors and photovoltaic panels. Lamps are used to make the orchestra sound.

The music of DRKMBNT is improvised, from time to time a video or a live recording is published on the band's homepage, only very rarely are records produced.

DRKMBNT loves improvisation, loves the moments when the orderly turns into the disorderly, when he doesn't know how things will continue musically and technically. But fortunately, new possibilities constantly arise, musically, aesthetically and technically.
