BASSart 2014: 7. + 8.11.2014 München
www.bassart.org WHAT IS BASSart ABOUT?
BASSart – is depth, width and volume. Humming basslines conveying an attitude towards life. A wide range of various styles and their performers. The space that creativity occupies in this world. We’re here! DJs, VJs, MCs, musicians, street and performance artists. Self-taught ones and pros. Growing from “subculture” to “Urban Upculture”. BASSartists raise general spirits, celebrate community, enrich our society with their music, arts and versatile life culture.
BASSart makes the frame, creativity is the content, benchmarking sound and light design. Melting with the venue’s architecture & spaces, this holistic artwork brings us the joy of partying together. All this makes BASSart unexpected, huge and always impressive.

THE GOAL
BASSart has devoted itself to promoting urban art in the sectors of electronic music, audiovisual art and performance. BASSart picks up the creative potential found on the streets and in the so called underground and makes it go off! Loud. Punchy. Varied. The coincidence of various art movements and styles, crossing the borders between genres, leads to interactive inspiration and new diversity. Creative forces get in motion to form space-time-human-inspired BASSart.
Feedback in the form of dancing and good moods received by BASSart shall serve to prove its positive effects on people and their surroundings.

THE WAY
In the tradition of youth movements that significantly influenced past decades; skateboarding, graffiti, break dance, DJ culture and street art, BASSart is all about skills.

What’s our thing? What are we best at? Going beyond the city limits.
Acting as a solidifying platform, BASSart aims to compare the regional BASSartists’ quality level to the international scene. Renowned scene players as well as music industry professionals and musicologists will be appointed members of the expert panel that grants the BASSmaster Award to the best competing BASSartists. The BASSmaster Award serves as a genuine alternative to pop-scene prizes – it’s a quasi “street award”.

BASSfundaments WORKSHOPS
BASSart Festival also serves to demonstrate the impact of bass music and the analog, digital, audiovisual composition of humans, space and time.
What facilitates this impact? What’s the club sound based on? What are the technical possibilities? What is a Pani projector? How do I mix light and sound? What tools do the stars in the scene draw on?  
BASSart is technologically refined. Top-level sound engineering for a new sound experience and the most powerful BASS currently available. Cooperation with leading technology producers such as Shure or Kling & Freitag is a deliberate decision. Workshops serve to technically explain and demonstrate BASS.
BASSfundaments offers an insight into current and future technical possibilities.
