« Begilufin » Berlin Live: Architecture (#1) #199
TONITE on your RADIO!
It’s the Begilufin ARCHITECTURE Show!
Your hosts Ziv Lode and Dan Abbottan Abbott hammer together and hour of international tunes themed around ARCHITECTURE! Many years ago someone blurted out the oft-quoted words “Writing about music is like dancing about architecture”. We follow up this nonsense to see if it’s possible to groove to music ABOUT architecture! Of course, this also highlights the question of whether it’s possible to groove to the music we play on Begilufin anyway (answer: yes it’s possible, but only for exceptionally advanced groovers). Tune in tonight and witness before your very ears the orderly world of architecture dissolve into a bag of songs about windows, ceilings, floors, drainpipes and maybe even scaffolding. Nuestra casa es su casa!

Begilufin
Begilufin is an hour long radio show broadcast live twice a month from the heart Berlin on the station Pi Radio. On Begilufin we play a wild, confusing mess of international sounds, stretching from the birth of recorded music to something we heard two days ago. We do our best to ignore the normal, accentuate the weird, and ignore borders, boundaries and time-zones. Each show revolves around a central theme and then we surprise each other (and you, dear listener) with our selections live on air.
Since you ask, ‘Begilufin’ is a Hebrew word meaning intoxicated, inebriated, drunk, sozzled or smashed - a perfect description of the delirious off-centre mix of crazed music we like to spin on the show or indeed the effect it might have on your ears.
Begilufin was created by Ziv Lode in 2010. Ziv was joined by Dan Abbott a couples of years later after a chance meeting in a kindergarten playground revealed a mutual love of the music of Erkin ‘The Turkish Hendrix’ Koray.
