Demo Versions
For you, who wanna try-before-buy, check this link for the demo versions. Sadly some really annoying and thus workflow hindering limitation have been applied to the demos:
We really can’t imagine a scenario where a plugin or an instrument can be tested sufficiently within 30mins, but hmmm… still better than dongles for trial licenses…
Something intelligent between Jazz and Downbeats taken from austrian Marcus Füreder’s (aka Parov Stelar) 2007 album “Shine”.

When two guys from Denmark feel it is too narrow there and they decide to move to Brooklyn, so how does this sound then? Listen carefully to “My Eyes to See”. It is taken from AFM’s upcoming Album “Let This Be the Last Night We Care” (to be released on March 5th, 2010).
Description? No, thanks this is something between post-rock, electronic and pop. Just listen, it sounds very nice. If this was mainstream pop, we could turn on the radio without having to barve again and again.
By the way, they are touring through Europe in March 2010. Check their dates here.
In August 2000 the world premiere of Tan Dun’s Waterpassion took place in Stuttgart’s Liederhalle.
(..) Tan Dun, along with Sofia Gubaidulina, Osvaldo Golijov, and Wolfgang Rihm, was commissioned by Helmuth Rilling and the Internationale Bachakademie Stuttgart to write a piece for the Passion 2000 project in commemoration of Johann Sebastian Bach. His contribution was the Water Passion After St. Matthew. The piece was widely performed in Europe and was subsequently given its American premiere by the Oregon Bach Festival, also under Rilling’s direction.
(Quoted from Wikipedia)
Singers and an a Cappella Choir of the University of Utah performed Tan Dun’s “Water Passion After St. Matthew” on April 11th, and 12th 2009 in Libby Gardner Concert Hall at the University of Utah. The first video is taken from that performance. The other three videos comprise an (english) interview with Tan Dun in Bilbao (Spain) in November 2009.

Whenever you visit Berlin and you like independent Techno and Electro, we got a nice hint for you. You gotta see the Cassiopeia in the Friedrichshain district. As a matter of chance our team went to the Cassiopeia place yesterday and enjoyed accidently an event named “Reclaim the Beats“.
Reclaim the Beats
To make things shorts as possible. That were by far the most intelligent sounds we’ve heard for a long time. The guys playing the records on the floor under the roof were almost half as young as we am, but we take a bow in deepest respect. You guys definitly have shown a unique taste for sounds. Reclaim the Beats is the only adequate wording for that event. We’d recommend to simply call it DIT (Demanding intelligent Techno). Information and dates of Reclaim the Beats to be found here.
Cassiopeia
The Cassiopeia is fairly unique in Berlin. It’s got three club locations, and indoor skate park, a beer garden, probably the largest climbing tower in Berlin and many more things to discover. The price of a Caipirinha is at 5€. More information to be found here…
