It aims to introduce the public to a selection of texts investigating the relationship between different historical methods, art and images. The book focuses on three main themes, which are divided into three different sections, each bringing forth a memory that has been ‘buried’ by a general aesthetic over-production.

Berlin Sampler – Le son de Berlin de 1904 à 2009, Théo Lessour
Sampler is a series of city music guides. It proposes new ways to see how music interacts with it’s suroundings, and new ways to discover a city. Berlin Sampler, the first of the series, was released in November 2009.
Music was an extremely important factor in the creation of the berlin identity. But it is strangely very often forgotten in many of the books about the city, and the knowledge of Berlin music history is most of the times way smaller than the one on art, movies, architecture… This book offers keys to listen to the city of expressionism, dada, silent movies, cabaret, Bauhaus, hyperinflation, nazi and communist dictatorship, cold war, Airlift, 68 riots and student protest, alternative movments, fall of the Wall and Love Parade. It helps discover music pieces that were often forgotten and put the famous ones in a new light, that shows the inner breathing of the city through history. : dada sound poetry, electronic music in the 30’s, german swing under the third Reich, free radical music from 68, DDR punk, the genius-dilettant movement of the 80’s, and the minimal techno…. there are many creatures in the berliner Zoo.
