well, i certainly feel older than i am … but i hope i´m not too „old“ just yet! i think anyone who is passionate about music would feel similarly; that music pretty much becomes a way of life. it´s not just simply listening to music all the time but putting many aspects of your life into the musical context. whether it´s my „day job“ as a mastering engineer, or running the label, or writing music, reading about music, buying musical equipment, talking to friends about sound, listening carefully to my environment, photographing for music, the list goes on. i even equate cooking with writing music. the ideas of music can be applied to so many things in life.

Taylor Deupree and his label 12k (finally on our blogroll) are one topic in the next edition of Klanghorizonte, Deutschlandfunk, on August 16th. As an entry into his musical world, I can appreciate several records, his solo work FAINT might be a good point of departure. Highly recommended for sleepy summer mornings, with open windows and steaming tea. And, yes, it’s for all four seasons. (me)
