Die tödliche Doris
Die tödliche Doris was a 7 year long art project in the end 80ties. It consisted of a group of (usually 3) people( Wolfgang Müller, Nikolaus Utermöhlen und Chris Dreier/Dagmar Dimitroff/Tabea Blumenschein and then Käthe Kruse ) who did Multimedia art performances. Their work was concerned with the question of identity – especially in pop groups. They created their typical style the “ingenious dilletantism” and performed on Punk/NDW/Industrial festivals such as “Berlin Atonal”.
The works of the Tödliche Doris could be downloaded as MP3 from their homepage. However there is currently a big problem with german music downloads due to a new policy of the GEMA – the german society for musical performing and mechanical reproduction rights.
(The GEMA is usually collecting royalities from radio stations etc. and gives it back to musicians. So if you want to make money from your music you basically have to be a member of the GEMA. However GEMAs new policy states that you -as a musician- are not allowed to put your own music onto your own website for download without paying royalities to the GEMA. As you can imagine this policy is under fierce debate.)
However one can still find some Tödliche Doris on youtube:
