drs2.ch: "Als Kind hat Eva Mozes Kor in Auschwitz die grausamen Versuche des NS-Arztes Josef Mengele erleiden müssen. Heute hat die 76-Jährige ihren Peinigern vergeben.

Oder Ursula Boger, Enkelin von Wilhelm Boger, der eine der grausamsten Foltermethoden in Auschwitz erfand." Weiter

bbc.co.uk: "After 16 years and 10 albums, Deerhoof have never quite found their rhythm; settled into a neat, niche little groove; consolidated to the point where they could turn and churn out a few more identikit tracks and casually count the pennies trickle in.

On first listen, Deerhoof vs. Evil charms, perplexes and, largely, bewilders because its makers persist in making it extremely difficult to fall in love with them. By endeavouring to be as daring, avant-garde and, bluntly, downright peculiar as possible, they do alienate. But they also reward a curious devotion through sheer artsy persistence."

npr.org: "Demdike Stare's eerie ambient creations never felt a part of the fad. While others were dressing up for Halloween, figuratively speaking, Whittaker and Canty seemed to understand that not only is there nothing all that scary about witches, but that the true appeal of the occult is what we can't see. Like Robert Wise's The Haunting or Peter Weir's Picnic At Hanging Rock, Demdike Stare lets our imaginations do the bulk of the work."

Tryptych, compiles Forest of Evil, Liberation Through Hearing, and Voices of Dust along with 40 minutes of never-before-released music. Click the CD titles to stream the albums at soundcloud, or stream the whole Tryptych release at npr.org

Liberation Through Hearing hit number 22 in The WIRE's Top 50 of 2010

Weltuntergänge - Extremereignisse der Gegenwart
"Das Thema der emotionalen Verarbeitung von Extremereignissen wie Ölpest und Hochwasser, Flugzeugabstürze oder Selbstmordattentate ist kaum wissenschaftlich erforscht. Deshalb wirft Hans-Jürgen Heinrichs im nun folgenden Essay nicht nur die Frage auf, wie die von solchen Katastrophen Betroffenen reagieren, sondern auch wie es um die Grenzen der Vorstellungskraft all jener bestellt ist, die mit solchen Schreckensszenarien weltweit über die Medien informiert werden." Weiter

Weltuntergänge - Vergangenheit und Gegenwart
Weltuntergänge und apokalyptisches Denken: Globalisierung und Klimawandel, Finanzkrisen und Pandemien scheinen die apokalyptischen Reiter als Avantgarde des Weltuntergangs abgelöst zu haben. Und auch in der Literatur und im Film kommt immer öfter Endzeitstimmung auf." Weiter

Weltuntergänge - Säkulare apokalyptische Denk- und Verhaltensmuster
Von den münsteraner Wiedertäufern bis hin zur Ideologie des Nationalsozialismus." Weiter

Weltuntergänge - Eiszeiten und Naturkatastrophen
"Die Globalisierung, der Klimawandel und die Finanzkrisen scheinen die apokalyptischen Reiter als Avantgarde des Weltuntergangs abgelöst zu haben. Der Autor Ulrich Baron hat dies zum Anlass genommen, die religiösen, politischen und ökologischen Weltuntergangsszenarien auf ihre Ängste und Heilserwartungen hin zu untersuchen." Weiter

fastcodesign.com: "Traditionally with fractal generation, you have to wait seconds or minutes for the image to appear," Beddard says. But the program he wrote to create the video above runs in nearly real-time -- which means that Beddard can simply plug in an equation and start playing with its visual properties as easily as fiddling with a Rubik's Cube."

wnyc.org: "Usually relegated to the grounding end of things instead of a solo instrument, the bass clarinet has a distinct woody sound, but is actually quite versatile. For this New Sounds, we'll hear everything from electroacoustic work to chamber music, from North African to Alaskan music. Hear pieces by Anouar Brahem, Michel Portal, John Surman, Marty Ehrlich’s Dark Woods Ensemble, and John Luther Adams." Read on at www.wnyc.org

Nest - Retold by Serein

Retold is among the The WIRE's top Electronica releases of 2010.

serein.co.uk: "Dulcet piano tones are backed by string and horn arrangements, unidentifiable plucked instruments and the sound of the Welsh harp; often heavily processed, Retold is an album that has as much in common with experimental electronic music as it does with modern classical composition."

"Introducing the American artist Shepard Fairey is a bit like explaining whose portrait he famously altered for the "Hope" campaign that was widely used by Barack Obama's supporters in 2008. Since the mid 1980s he has created outstanding (then: street) art that is strong, iconic, and expressive. Shepard Fairey is also a thoughtful, committed, and outspoken activist who revives the artistic virtues of standing up for the freedom of speech and fighting for rational and non-corporate ways of dealing with the issue of copyright."
