1 Rythm of the City {anchor:Rythm of the City} I have to come back to the music issue again. Not only does music help me code, it also acts as a firewall. Years ago I used to listen to Anne Clark while walking the streets of London. Now I found that it works just as well here. Any big city probably. It makes the surroundings surrealistic, just like a computer game. Funnily some of my colleagues at Fraunhofer developed an mp3 player that adapts the beats per minute to the running speed or you can set a certain speed to go faster. While listening to music I find myself often walking in a similar fashion. But in Seoul something else happened. My dear friends can probably tell about the kind of music I like. The last few years though I did listen to the same music over and over again and it was just the normal pop, techno and classic. But I rediscover my likings for the more speedy, hardcore and strange music. To name a few: "Das Ich", "L7" and who knows what sleeps in my iTunes database ... ~~(+iPod —stress)~~ 2007-04-25 13:34:34.617 2007-04-25 13:34:34.617
