This is just a short notice that I added some new pieces (‘Time Zones‘, a song I did in collaboration with Rik Pfenninger and ‘One‘ from my ‘Rapid Eye Deformation’ project) to the ‘music‘ section.

Decoy Collective produced 4 small clips for the upcomming voting about the future of the ‘Reitschule’. In this clip a track written and produced by me was used.

Music is getting louder – and sounding worse.

Over the past 20 years, the recording and mastering of recorded music has been increasingly plagued by an industry-wide practice of making recordings as loud as possible, while crushing any dynamics contained in the original performance.

The result is music that sounds flat, two-dimensional, distorted, and is exhausting to listen to.

This self-defeating race to be “louder” than anyone else has become known as the Loudness Wars. You can read more about it at Wikipedia – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness_war – or see an example at YouTube – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Gmex_4hreQ .
