What do yo know about minimal?

What is minimalism? What constitutes a minimalist work?
"Lord, what vexed questions" someone whould say. I certainly have my own answers, but so does everyone else (save for those who object on principle to any kind of musical definition), and I hesitate to offer guidelines that I know no one else will agree with. So let's try talking around the subject a little.
Minimal techno is a form of electronic dance music that is considered a minimalist sub-genre of techno. It is characterized by a stripped-down aesthetic that exploits the use of repetition, and understated development. This style of dance music is based on  the motto less is more; a principle that has been previously utilized, to great effect, in architecture, design, visual art, and Western art music. The tradition of minimalist aesthetics in Western culture can be traced to the German Bauhaus movement (1919 to 1933). Minimal techno is thought to have been originally developed in the early 1990's by Detroit based producers Robert Hood and Daniel Bell.
 Of course this is gest a way to define the term minimal , but people like Paul Sherburne proposes what the origins of Minimal techno might be. Sherburne states that, like most contemporary electronic dance music, minimal techno has its roots in the landmark works of pioneers such as  Kraftwerk and Detroit Techno's Derrick May and Juan Atkins. Minimal techno focuses on rhythm and repetition instead of melody and linear progression, much like classical minimalist music and the polyrhythmic African musical tradition that helped inspire it. By 1994, according to Sherburne, the term "minimal" was in use to describe any stripped-down, Acidic derivative of classic Detroit style.
Minimal techno has found mainstream club popularity since 2004 in such places as Germany, France, South Africa, The Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Ireland and the UK with DJs from a wide variety of genres incorporating differing elements of its tones, the famed after-hours club DC10 in Ibiza being one exponent of the genre.
By the second half of 2006, the term 'minimal' had in many ways become contradictory, as it serves as a denominator for the tech house sounds of the moment.
Today, minimal has grown a lot gest like progressive, drum'n base or rave had. This happened because the apparition of many clubs and the desire of the modern man to be entartained. Here are a few artist for y'all if your interested: Daniel Bell, Ben D, Richie Hawtin (Plastikman), Ricardo Villalobos, Luca Bacchetti, Mika Vainio, Maurizio (Basic Channel), Jeff Mills, Paulo Nascimento, Steve Bug, Luciano (Lucien Nicolet), Robert Hood, Troy Pierce (Louderbach), Sleeparchive (Roger Semsroth), Sutekh (Seth Horvitz) ,Tom O'Hara, Dj Ivanoff, Raresh (Romania). Monochrome, David Vandetta, Claude Vonstroke.
  These are gest a few infomation about minimal techno, the subject is very complex and not everybody agree with me, so I give a more simple way to look at it , I leave you with a comment of Robert Hood: 'Minimal is a basic stripped down, raw sound. Just drums, basslines and funky grooves and only what's essential. Only what is essential to make people move. I started to look at it as a science, the art of making people move their butts, speaking to their heart, mind and soul. It's a heart-felt rhythmic techno sound.'

Ce parere ai de noile telefoane?

Este de-a dreptu incredibil cat de repede evolueaza lucrurile, mai ales cand te gandesti la telefoane, laptopuri, masini, noile firobuze recent adaugate (noroc de alegeri), mp3-uri.... Am sa iti ofer cateva informatii legate de noiile aparitii de celefoane...
           Pentru inceput , ce zici de Sony Ericsson K850i-ul, intra aici daca vrei sa il vezi mai bine  , se pare ca a ajuns pe primul loc in revista STUFF (" Sub protectia blazonului impresionant Cyber-shot, echipa de telefoane cu camera Sony Ericsson n-avea cum sa fie codasa. Baietii iau fotografia foarte in serios, iar cel care aproape exagereaza este capul haitei, incredibilul K850i cu o camera de 5 MP. Desi tot nu beneficiaza de un zoom optic, telefonul se apropie cel mai mult unei camere foto independente.") Ce este interesant este faptul ca N95 un telefon de 2 ori mai scump decat K850i-ul este detronat ajungand pe locol al doilea. Nu prea ai ce sa-i reprosezi unui astfel de telefon pentru ca le are cam pe toate . Cei de la STUFF nu au putut sa nu carcoteasca la adresa lui Nokia N95 "camera de 5 mp ar fi meritat un flash cu Xenon".
Sincer, daca e dupa mine eu tot cu telefoanele simple si ieftine ma laud Motorola al meu nu are camera si nu stie cum sa prajeasca omletele pe tranzistori sau sa iti faca curat in camera in timp ce tu te uiti la pieptul Simonei Senzual, il tine bateria 7 zile pentru ca mai mult de o agenda,sms,registru si ceas nu prea are cu ce sa se laude si cius. Nu merita sa iti ei telefon jmecher doar ca sa oferi prilej fraierilor din trolebuz sa puna ochii pe tine. Vezi ai grija poate ramai fara el, am prieteni care au patit-o si s-au mai ales si cu un ochi unflat ; ca normal ca nu-ti convine sa vina 3-4 baieti sa iti ia telefonul, te agiti si tu sa le dai cate una in PIFOMETRU:) ,dar cat de Zoro poti fi?
   Pe urmatoarele locuri urmeaza Samsung U600, are un design foarte reusit si ! conectare la TV prin TV-OUT; LG Viewty, arata mai mult a camera foto (is curios sa-l testez, in magazin evident); iar un Ericsson k610,.....si sa ne oprim un pic la Htc Tytn II  te poti pierde ushor la cate functii poate avea telefonul, mai ales gandestete ca are un display de 230*330 pixeli, sistem de operare windows, si ce ma uluit e ca are si un procesor de 400 mhz , etc.
 Si ajung la un telefon care in ciuda pretului e cel mai apropiat de gustul meu memorie cacalau , si desing acceptabil+ e nokia frate 5700-le.
  De Iphone si alte nebuneli va las sa mai postati si voi .    Saluty

Iti place orasul in care traiesti?

Da, o intrebare ce are in majoritatea cazurilor raspuns negativ,in cazul in care traiesti in romania savurand praful, traficul, oameni ce se calca in picioare asteptand autobuzul, manelistii in trasurile lor fermecate (X5 ,Q7, SLK....), un sistem judiciar de toata jena ( vezi blogul lui mihigh), caini maidanezi ce iti ofera un peisaj de exceptie..... Lista poate continua cu exemple de tot felu.
 Pentru mine cel mai deranjant lucru e ca oricat de mult ai incerca sa iti faci o firma, sa-ti deschizi poate o brutarie sau o afacere de termopane, nici nu mai vorbim de asociatii gen ONG si daca mai punem la socoteala si banii de care trebuie investiti, te lovesti de acelasi ...NU SE POATE, VENITI MAINE , VA SUNAM NOI, NE MAI GANDIM... daca nu ai si tu un om, o cunostinta la putere, care sa iti faca putina reklama nu o sa poti face niciodata nimic. Platesti la taxe de mori si daca ramai restantier la fisc, vine politia financiara si te ia de parca ai fi un criminal in serie. Pai da domne , nu te joci cu banii statului, bine ca poate staorce S.O Vantu si multi altii miliarde ....
