MAX HATTLER: Live and Direct As an extension of his film work - and as an antidote to it - Max Hattler performs live audio-visual works at festivals, in art spaces, and sometimes in clubs. He collaborates live with other experimental filmmakers like Noriko Okaku and Robert Seidel. Max also works live with bands including The Egg, Economy Wolf, Dollskabeat, dubmarronics, Heralds of Change, Kraan, Ladyscraper, Liberation Jumpsuit, The Springmine Disaster, and DJs including Nick Luscombe, DJ Duct, and over-50s Norwegian 7-piece amateur DJ collective Volda Vinyl. 2008 - Max Hattler vs. Noriko Okaku @ Animated Dreams, Tallinn, Estonia, 22 Nov - Max Hattler vs. Noriko Okaku @ Solfa, Tokyo, Japan, Tue 4 Nov - Digital Dreams for the 21st Century, SuperDeluxe, Tokyo, Sat 1 Nov - 'Remixing the Past' @ Exground Festival, Wiesbaden, Germany, Fri 14 Nov - 'Remixing the Past' @ Curtocircuito Festival, Santiago, Spain, 17-24 Oct - 'Remixing the Past' @ Animae Caribe Festival, Trinidad, Tue 23 Sep, 7pm - Max Hattler + Volda Vinyl @ AnimationVolda Festival, Norway, Fri 12 Sep - The Egg @ Haselstock Festival, Northamptonshire, UK, 15 Aug - The Egg @ Camp Bisco, Mariaville, New York, USA, 19 Jul - Hattler vs. Seidel feat.

"The piece has an unexpected sense of drama and energy, with Max Hattler’s structural, graphic forms intervening spikily in Robert Seidel’s treated video work - harmony and dissonance, form and chaos... quite the opposite of most conventional VJ sets, which often seem to function as stylish but lazy wallpaper." (Adam Pugh, AURORA Festival Director) Max Hattler + Economy Wolf @ Beck's Fusions at ICA, London, 6 Sep 2007 Experimental live AV set feat. Enist + Your Highness. Other AV collaborations on the night: Matthew Herbert + Woof Wan-Bau, Alexis Taylor (Hot Chip) + Brian Degraw (Gang Gang Dance). "Max Hattler's films, played in the background of Economy Wolf's set, were a joy to watch, finished spectacularly by the star of Max's films doing a hair striptease, most disturbing." (InterventTech) "amazing and surreal visuals" (Trial and Error Recordings) 'Remixing the Past' @ anim’est, Bucharest, Romania, 13 Oct 2007 "Max looks to his parents 1970’s communal lifestyle in Germany and particularly at his father’s success in Krautrock band Kraan. Kraan will also provide the prog rock and free jazz soundtrack to this super-8 journey into a hippie ideal for living as we’re taken on a sun-speckled journey into the fields and woods of a rural commune."
