‘NOW IS THE TIME TO LEARN HOPE’

Posted on 3 October 2020 by electric

on January 3 -2018, i received an email from composer Antoine Beuger [https://www.wandelweiser.de], in which he introduced me to an inspiring lecture of John Holloway. The title of the lecture: ‘NOW IS THE TIME TO LEARN HOPE’

Here is the link to the lecture:

not so long ago i saw an interview with Yanis Varoufakis, a Greek economist, academic, philosopher and politician:

i felt inspired by his hopeful attitude towards a new economic thinking.
Varoufakis is one of the founding members of DiEM25, you can find
mor info here: https://diem25.org/

i felt the urge to pay attention in this post to these people who are trying to get across the idea of change, hope and fairness for the majority.

i like to dedicate this song to them.
A meditation.

ELEKTRONIKA POETIKA

Posted on 9 May 2020 by electric

the name i gave some years ago to a personal project concerning electro-acoustic music.

One of the songs “ELECTRIC CITY ECHO” i’m posting here today for 2 reasons: it’s a good example of the use and possibilities of LLOOPP/PPOOLL,

and it also will be part of a new project: ‘Carnet de Voyage’, but this time only hard ware [no computer/ software]. More info will follow soon.

LLOOPP/PPOOLL Tutorial Part 1

Posted on 7 May 2020 by electric

This is my one and only software tool!
I love it and I hate it, an everlasting affair.
I call it ‘INSTANT COLLAGE’!
I used it a lot, check the electric souvenir soundcloud page!

I use LLOOPP/PPOOLL [by Klaus Filip a.o.] together with GLEETCHLAB [by Giorgio Sancristoforo] and SOUNDHACK [by Tom Erbe]

If you found your way here, i assume you are in need of some info on how
to get this stuff working. That’s the reason i’m posting the tutorial.

Just some background info:

Even though I’m not using LLOOPP/PPOOLL a lot at the moment [ my orientation is analogue these days ] i must say that using this software will bring you a lot, it’s a box full of surprises, new sounds, new ideas. If it was only for this purpose [to open yourself up for new musical insights] that would be enough reason to give it a try, give it time and enjoy. It will be very rewarding.
