Hey man, thanks for introducing me to So Wrong They're Right, it was a really cool watch!

I got to talk with Roedelius a couple of years ago.
We talked about Harmonia and got off on a funny story about Klaus Schulze and other stories.
Got an earful about his early days with the Hitler Youth that he was forced to be a part of
and learned about his life as a masseuse and other adventures. His solo pieces for a long time
have been a bit new-agey for my taste, but he still leaves many pleasant musical memories
of other kinds that stretch back to the early 70s.

Immer wieder rauf und runter
Einmal drauf und einmal drunter
Immer wieder hin und her
Kreuz und quer, mal leicht, mal schwer

Thank you so much to anyone who takes the time to enjoy my little journal.

Zhanteimi, make sure you grab Eno Moebius and Roedelius' After the Heat LP featuring one of my all time favorite tracks - "The Belldog."

Windsock, delighted that you dug the flick! :)

Rostasi, the myth, the man, the legend. How do you have personal contacts with every figure I cite? Firesign Theatre, The 8-Track Museum, and now Cluster and Schulze? Simply stunning!

Well, some are personal contacts, but only in just a superficial way really.
I mean, Roedelius was performing and giving a talk and afterwards I just introduced myself and we got talking -
that’s pretty much it. If you’re enthusiastic about (meeting) someone, then people are usually drawn to that if you
appear genuine and they’re not snobbish and all that ... and there are others that are intertwined in the music/art
activities that I’m involved in that show up in various ways, but that just comes with a profession, I guess. Nothing legendary.

Music To Entertain By
 

I briefly touched upon this project while it was a work-in-progress in my remark about Silence in the Museum Musica thread but it has finally come together!

As a result of my social proactivity this year, I've been entertaining and have been using my living and dining rooms for the very first time. I quickly came to realize that I needed to incorporate a sound system into the front half of my home. I scored a great deal on one of my favorite model vintage amps reconditioned by an expert in vintage audio on eBay and now my entire home is filled with music! I just love providing a pastoral sonic space for my guests to enjoy while they paint, read, and write.

The vintage receiver and tower 3-way speakers are patched into my home server and gracefully ornament my living room, foyer, and dining room with beautiful dinner jazz and music for quiet, cozy afternoons and evenings by the fire. It’s no audiophile setup by a long stretch but it suits my needs for ambiance splendidly. I may add another turntable down the line.

It's been such a joy to entertain this season! <3

I need you to shop for me.

Nice and cozy!
I used to have elaborate setups, but I'm so happy to have wireless audio now.
I can set up sound installations throughout the house using Sonos speakers.

Your pad is looking ever swankier by the day, dude.

What a cozy setup conducive for all manner of artistic / expressive pursuits! Well done.

Thank you, everyone for all the positive feedback! I love having a space to make my own. And being able to share it with guests is all the more satisfying.
