"Angscht"

"Angscht" (Swiss-german for fear) drove the latest popular vote in switzerland. It's just sad.

    File of the Week 45/2009:

"Timestretch 4:26"

If "Oxidation Noise" had a final track like "Fragment Research" does, it would sound like this...
04:26 is the average time of all tracks on "Oxidation Noise". Now all those tracks have been timestretched to this exact lenght and then were layered with equal volumes.
The result is a noise-cluster; a dense "retrospective" of all the material on the CD.

    File of the Week 44/2009:

    File of the Week 24/2009:

"Terminator Damnation"

I respect Danny Elfman very much. But his soundtrack for the new "Terminator Salvation" did not use the iconographic "Terminator-theme" at all.
I propose this instead... :-)
