It was not a rumor that anyone can come and enjoy the Rumor Festival. The variety of music offered by the organizer is unlimited and surely creative. For the last concert, it was the turn of Alec Empire. With his keyboard and electronic music, he might sound violent to you. But once you recognized the beat you might surprise yourself by enjoying it.

Alexander Wilke, his real name, is not a new kid on the block. His first debute was made in the beginning of the 90s. Moreover, his music carried a message against the right-wing radicalism in the Berlin techno scene shortly after the wall had fallen.

The small stage at the SJU Jazz Podium was left in the dark. Thus, no other way than pushing my ISO to 2000 to ensure that I could get good pictures with the F 1.4 and 1/60. But I wasn’t really bother with it, because I knew that I’d be converting the images to black and white anyway.

To my surprise the shooting was completely fun! I stood so close to Alec, so I could play around with my compositions. He was so calm and cool, so shooting in the considering slow exposure wasn’t a problem at all.
