CLIKNO record-label
CLIKNO is a term Dr.Nojoke establishes since 2005 when he started to create his unique signature sound.
Describing his music as CLIKNO allows Dr.Nojoke flexibility in his productions, therefore unpredictable in a positive way, often surprising and always looking for something special.
Put together from clicks & cuts and minimal techno in the beginning CLIKNO became a concept open to diverse inspiration and influences.
In 2016 then Dr.Nojoke founded the record label CLIKNO.

TobyHORROR VACUI
Between 2008 and 2011 I worked together with the dancer Carolin Gödecke, a professional in the classical Indian Bharata Natyam dance, and vitaminK+ of the Tritamin Visual Collective on an audiovisual dance performance.
Under the title
HORROR VACUI we explored the ambivalence of
emptiness and nothingness roughly speaking.

what my neck remembers, my head will forget
... is a collaboration with
the Danish dancer Christiane
Borch.
The solo dance
performance and live music are developed together
through improvisation.
The performance
reflects an injury of the dancer.
ACTUAL
CAUSE OF ACCIDENT AND PICTURE OF CONDITION
Woman got during
training a hard kick on the right side of the face and
felt momentary “paralysed” with pain in the neck without
falling or any total unconsciousness.
Although there was some
improvement in the course of condition the woman is
still complaining over daily pain at the localised neck
– shoulder region accompanied with outgoing cramping
headache plus accompanied light and sound sensitivity.
Beside that some
neuropsychological disturbance i.e. mental disturbance
with difficulties in concentration and memory
difficulties, together with loss of energy and tiredness
and the feeling of more tiredness both physically and
mentally. This causes physiological strain and increased
feeling of easily caused stress.
DJing
Dr.Nojoke
understands himself more as a selector than a DJ.
He blends and contrasts IDM,
Breaks, Clicks & Cuts, Glitch and Techno with Ambient,
Drone, Minimal Music, Electronica or even
Dub, No Wave, Indie- and
Post-Rock, Electro, Industrial and Punk and any
kind of unique groovy, textural, noisy or experimental
music - a mashup or collage for dancers, couch
potatoes and
heavy listeners!

elektroblitz mitte
Basically rooted in Punk elektroblitz mitte (Dr.Nojoke and TL) always liked experiments besides songs and looks over musical horizons. In 1999 the group refrained from playing live and started to compose and produce music for film and theatre - see also the production list under 'about'. Shrinked to a duo the band presents since 2004 material in very rare live sessions again.
Last big work was the score for the film-productionDie Ausgangssituation (Retsina-Film) finished n August 2005. Together with the piano player Madalina Pasol they recorded some parts from Beethoven´s piano-sonatas Pathetique, Appassionata, Arietta and Waldsteinsonata. Based on the motifs the group creates minimal pieces added with sax, organ and effects, that support the dark pictures and slow, absurd atmosphere of the movie. see also the production list under 'about'.

TRANSMISSIONS
For the Christmas
Art
Lounge of the agency Bluetenpracht Dr.Nojoke
presented two evenings in Decembre 2003
inside their
location in the Pfefferberg, Berlin. Central
part was the Transmission
performance with Moon Suk (Toom,
Shadowplay, Chant), Massaka
(Edding-Painting) and dis_sign (Visuals).
The aim of the performance was the
'transmission' of abstract, digital music and
live-cut-ups of radiowaves into movement - thus manifesting
in thick Edding-drawings on a hanging,
semi-transparent screen in interaction with the
shadows of the performer.
In the middle of a former factory-room a big
screen was hanging from the ceiling, lightened from both sides
alternately. In front of the screen the painter
was acting, behind the performer. The visitor
could move through the room so that depending on
the position he could get different impressions
of the performance. the process was lively.
Mythen Draußen
In August 2000 Dr.Nojoke made a sampling live-performance on the 'Die lange Nacht der Museen' in Berlin in front of the Pergamon-Museum as part of the theatre-installation Mythen Draußen from the Dramatischen Theater.
