Other inspirations include composers such as Max Richter, Esbjorn Svensson, Miles Davis, Nils Frahm, Murcof, Portico Quartet, Radiohead and even The Beatles. But Rani’s inspirations aren’t just musical, she has drawn inspiration from places she has lived and visited.

In diesem Electronic Beats Podcast dreht sich alles um die Magie des Lichts. Kein Club, Konzert, Show, Veranstaltung wäre ohne dieses oft unterschätzte Stilmittel denkbar. Licht schafft Atmosphäre, kreiert Stimmungen, hebt hervor oder lässt verschwinden und ist letztlich für die einzigartige Magie eines Ortes verantwortlich. Gesine hat mit zwei Lichtdesignern gesprochen, die die technischen Skills und die Kreativität besitzen, um das ästhetisch dramaturgische Potential von Licht voll auszuschöpfen: Christoph Schneider ist ein Virtuose und setzt Musiker und Bands wie Moderat, Casper oder Marteria ins Rampenlicht. Natalie Heckl trifft man u.a. im Umfeld von Christopher Bauder oder im Berghain, wo sie eine perfekte Symbiose aus Licht und Musik erschafft, für die der Club weltberühmt ist. Beide erzählen von der Vielseitigkeit des Jobs, den Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten durch Licht, ihren Anfängen am Lichtpult, Spannungserzeugungen, von Unterschieden zwischen Club und Live, vom Raumverständnis, von den Vorbereitungen e
