npr.org: "Growing up in Toronto in the 1990s, Katie Stelmanis knew she'd one day be an opera singer. She studied piano and violin and, as a child, sang with the Canadian Opera Company. Later, after years of private lessons, she was set to study opera in college. But deep down inside, Stelmanis says she knew that all she really wanted to do was make "classical music with really f—— up, distorted, crazy s— on there." It was a singular, and certainly colorful, vision that eventually led the ivory-voiced singer to abandon school, discover electronica and form the band Austra."

cafekaput.blogspot.com: "Every sound on this record, from the melodic sounds to the percussion, the atmospheric effects to the bass lines originates from the Braun AB-30 alarm clock. Using inexpensive contact microphones I recorded the alarm sound, the various ?ticks? of the second hand as it made it's way around the clock face, and usually-unheard noises such as the cogs whirring and the harmonics of the spring-loaded ?snooze? button. Short, cyclic waveform samples were edited from these recordings, which became the oscillators?(oscillators are the fundamental building blocks on which all electronic sounds are based).
The raw sounds were then treated and shaped using envelopes, filters, phasing, delay and reverberation.If you're interested in the creative process behind the sounds, have a listen to a short explanation:
HR2: "Das Funkkolleg „Mensch und Klima: Wetter im Wandel“ spannt in seinen Sendungen einen Bogen von den menschengemachten Klimaänderungen der Gegenwart zu den Folgen der Klimaänderungen in früheren Erdepochen; es fragt nach dem Zusammenspiel von Klima, Wetter und Gesundheit; es erklärt, wie Wolken entstehen und warum unsere Wettervorhersagen noch immer ungenau sind. Es stellt die Methoden der „Wetternachhersage“ vor, Rekonstruktionen früherer Wetterereignisse, ohne deren genaue Kenntnis keine Klimaprognosen möglich wären. Es erläutert, was Astronomie und Geologie mit dem globalen Klima zu tun haben. Und es erörtert, welche Strategien es gibt, den menschengemachten Klimawandel zu stoppen." Weiter

Vor allem Nodger, der einzige Mann unter ihnen, gibt sich der Süße paranoider Träume hin. Die Frauen um ihn herum jedoch verfolgen andere, dunkle Ziele und Begierden.

Figures suggest a big cultural shift as well as structural change within cities. Some very large cities such as Beijing and Shanghai have made it almost impossible to buy a new car. Car transport has reached a limit. Shanghai built a metro system in 10 years, which covers 80% of the city and carries 8 million passengers each day. Metros are being built in 82 Chinese cities and 14 Indian cities.." Read on
