Olaf Schirm (Symboter) – Die Auslotung der Frequenz
The quarterly Art Light magazine reports in its issue 1-2018 about my science art installation Quantom on the occasion of the exhibition “Ecstasies Theresa” at the Alte Münze, Berlin. (still under my artist name “symboter” which I now use exclusively for my musical activities).
Platform “Die Or Diy” reports about my music on cassette “Matrix, Synchrotron and Phon-Ethik” .
“Phon-Ethik” is described as (excerpt): A cassette full of beautiful analogue warmth, with quite a few decent tunes.… Honest electronic musik before it was turned into the ultimate W.M.D (weapon of mass distraction). Also, the best Symboter cassette.
“Synchrotron” is qualified as (excerpt): More Tangerine Dream/Kraftwerk/soundtrack library music hybrid from Symboter. Crammed full of top of the range analogue beauty, from a treasure trove of classic synthesizers in Symboter HQ;… Lovely stuff.
“Matrix” remarks are (excerpt): The vocoder use is especially pleasing, new Generation, being a prime example of who to subtly use this classic device. Fans of anything on Colin Potter’s Integrated Circuit Records will love this.

On the occasion of the exhibition “Survivors” which was curated by Wolfgang Petrick,at Löwenpalais of Stiftung Starke Berlin in April 2014, a TV shooting took place by rbb culture magazin Stilbruch. Author Margarete Kreuzer enjoyed my Science Art Installation “FearBot” a lot and honored it with this report.
The report was aired in April 2014. There is no online link available to this report, nor any information on rbb or the former production company, the series has endend probably in 2015, here is a video from an archive:
