Iniciativa per Catalunya Verds

The European vote help gave this as the party most close to my opinions together with the local Dutch Green Party and the Neweuropeans.

(I was taught Dutch, English, German, French and some Latin. Strange that it is easier to understand Catalan/Spanish than French, of which I forgot a lot.)

I am sure there is a message, somewhere...

Music is the Message

Angst is not a Weltanschauung

Since his 1999 debut, Poploops for Breakfast, B. Fleischmann, the Austrian-born minimalist, has struggled to keep his “sensitive guy” electro afloat.


B Fleischmann & Friends - In Trains / They Shoot Music


The album Angst Is Not a Weltanschauung recaptures a bit of that old glory despite the album’s noticeably weak mid-section.

(Austria has a lively electro and rap scene, you should pick up the FM4 sound collection CD series, if possible.)

Discovering Electronic Music

The 1983 film "Discovering Electronic Music" is an introduction to the synthesizers and computers used to create electronic music. The film explains the basics of how sound is converted into electrical signals, the functions of oscillators, envelopes and filters, and the roles of samplers and sequencers.



A peek in history, blissfully unaware of Techno and candy-ravers. (Although, at the end they come quite close - 4/4, four beats, cycle two pitched notes.)
