a group of nonprofits which often support artistic projects have joined together to set up an artistic relief initiative they're giving out grants of $5000.00 to those who need it most. creative capital is one of the organizations providing support. i don't think people realize that in this country just 2400000 artists working full time there's an additional 1200000 working part time how did contribute to the sector the last of we have experienced because of covert at just to destroy this state is over $50000000000.00 that's what the creative sector contributes to the united states but when we were talking about relief efforts from the federal standpoint i sort out included and far both none of the artists and that's where our role became even more critical how do we understand that how do we understand the dire needs of artists and particularly artists were so dependent on the good.

d.j.'s play their sets against a backdrop of historical treasures. event organizer and co initiator mightiest seka hopes the concept will spawn a series of videos for digital platforms. devastating if this is absolutely an attempt to launch something new in the midst of the corona walked down at present the agency is making a 0 revenues but still has monthly expenses so of course we hope these productions will eventually bring something and so we can make ends meet. berlin's nightlife has been especially hard hit except for open air events pubs and bars are allowed to reopen now but the clubs have been under lockdown since mid march no concerts no dancing no all night partying one of them is the guillotine the government has responded to these financial high. chips with another perspective aid package worth millions of euros but there's

a critical issue here are clubs just entertainment venues or also cultural ones the state aid depends on the answer. and we're not making any money on our own or not much anyway and we have to stay closed for quite a long time and. that's the economic disaster about my method to get to the point now i do get the impression that the state has realized that cultural venues are doing really really badly when it's from the movies and personally i don't see much difference between an opera house on the club and they just deal with different styles of music the big difference between the venues is that we normally finance everything else selves. until recently techno without the club would have been unthinkable a year ago at age 18 was making a name for himself as a promising newcomer on the techno scene he was on the verge of an international breakthrough now he said work on new musical concepts meant more for listening than

dancing. for tracks if i were to arrange a track for a club now it would have a long intro and a long outro so it would be easy for the d.j. to mix. in on the tracks i've been producing these days are generally a lot shorter. but you have to try to create music that will hold onto its value even after this all blows over. carlin without its clubs would just not be the same back when distance had a very different meaning luca x. put out his 1st track digital just and now he's dealing with the dilemma of a music scene that no longer happens life but only through digital platforms. and appearance under corona crisis conditions with over 35. a 1000000 views united we stream is currently one of the internet's biggest streaming platforms. no pay

no audience just cameras. so we keep a distance from things that used to be totally normal for us but even made up our lives so that's kind of the fact that no festivals or clubs are happening this year means that the only medium a performer can use to gain recognition is a digital one and. of course i can play some live stream gig but so can 10000 others. even so for now streams are helping performers establish a presence and keeping the clubs afloat. now the crowdfunding united we stream project is networked the world over from detroit to singapore over 1500 performances have been staged in 4 months and

a good half 1000000 euros in donations collected in berlin alone it's an initiative of club commission berlin. i think the question of how much clubs are in danger right now is also a question of how long they're going to be shut down i think right now we are monitoring this very well but you know. the big long way to go to a dark downstairs basement club with where people are packed we are aware of it but we also have to. remember everybody that we have probably the toughest time. but the clubs will hardly be able to survive long term on state aid in private donations and they won't be able to reopen safely until the pandemic has. until the end is working under the motto to think of leaving holding on that's the

crowdfunding platform the club uses for streaming twice a week around $100.00 euros donated per evening that's not enough. of something unfamiliar sure you can pull quite a few things off just with technology recordings of concerts and so on. but if you're a club a price it through and through it just doesn't work without the people and being told by everything we run this club because we love the music and we love to see how people react he meant when you've got people in the club and they start screaming because they love the music and the ambiance we still get goosebumps and we've been doing this for over 20 years now and the whole. bird lands clubs have made up an essential part of its cultural life since the 1990 s. and now their survival is at stake. or want to have almost the round us there's a lot of despair that's true but we're event managers we're the ones who keep the creativity flowing and assess that he is often the mother of invention of course we

won't know till much later if what we come up with now is just as good or as profitable but it will be something new about sort of north and stay in. for now hopes are for a long warm summer allowing for a lot so then in the open air. cities 3 stories life in times of corona that was arch 21 for this week see you soon.
