Now its my turn to say bye bye for two weeks. In the early morning of tomorrow, I'll be on a plane to Bulgaria. Primarily to lie in the sun (the girlfriend excuse), but more likely to find some time reading the books I bought in a frenzy:
On the left some notebooks (the old fashioned ones) to hold the lot of ideas I hope to find. I'm heavily interested to find out what Mr. Roads wants to tell me, and though it was nearly impossible, I set all world (well, austria and germany) moving to get me a copy of it within one week.
I also started on 'Gödel, Escher, Bach', which really is a nice mind-bender.
Mr. Katz Book is more likely a relaxing read I guess, as are the magazines on the bottom. But none the less great reads! (To all german readers: go get and worship each new issue of brandeins magazine!)

With 20 kilos of reading material do you have any baggage allowance left for any clothes? 😉
Have a good one.

Heh, we certainly will get a scale from our neigbhour to see if I break the limits... But even then I still have 6 kilos of hand baggage left 😉
(The Computer Music Tutorial weighs 2.615 Kilos for those who are playing with the thought of buying a copy)

Katzs 'Mastering Audio...' is a goodie.
(so I've heard, never had the time to read it myself... 🙂)
Have a good break,

Nearly forgot: I also travel with some fine new music I bought:
Told you about this some time ago and finally found a Box Set that covers all of Arcangelo Corellis work.
I take them with me digitalized however. This old italian naming scheme produces quite interestingly long filenames:
Arcangelo Corelli_12 Concerti Grossi opus VI 8-12_02_Concerto 8 in G minor Fatto per la notte di Natale - 2. Grave. Arcate, sustenuto e come stà_2004.flac

So, I'm back from my trip. Bulgaria was a great time. And it was a double great time because of the great readings (and hearings) I had at hand.
I did finish the CMT, as well as Mastering Audio. Goedel, Escher, Bach is a huge pile to read. It might have fewer pages than the CMT (800 compared to 1200), but each page contains about the double amount of information that is exponentially mind-boggling (I made it to page 265 so far, just a few chapters after Hofstadter introduced, just by the way, Gödels massive Typographical Number Theory).
I recommend all of these books for a huge horizon-broadening. Also, all of these books (even GEB) have created pages of ideas within my little notebook, which I had to keep calm during the past 2 weeks. So I'm sitting here ready to launch 😉
Great to be back, lets get working 😀
Oh, and for Corelli. Not even in english, but also in german do words fail me to describe the pleasures that I had listening to the great sonatas and symphonies that this man has created. I might post one or two extremely inspiring and fascinating snippets later on 😉
