Beetlejuice burns like a lantern tonight atop her dim, celestial stage. Auburn flares bursting in bountiful leaps as she twirls over ferns, engulfing the hapless room of heavenly bodies within her warm, corporeal crest.
She knows her youngest days live behind her, and she has traveled light years to experience the searing bliss dwelling within this moment, passing through her skin in a solar maelstrom of sweat, lace, and elemental grace. After the spotlight has died, in the green room mirror, counts the wrinkles on her cheeks with a sublime smile, like a bruised passion fruit poised to plummet.
Hey, welcome to Fantastische Wissenschaftlichkeit, the show for science fiction and futuristic things that we encounter in everyday life. Science fiction is everywhere and you don't even know it. My name is Kuba and your name is? Rick. It's not Martha. Martha is sick in bed and I got help.
Yes, I'm nice, Martha.
Nice try, but I don't know, you might get the linguistic quality of Martha. I'm always very jealous.
But that's a difficult mountain now that I have to climb because Martha does it very well. Greetings go out of the podcast into the podcast of the future, so to speak.
...spent a lot of time. And I overcame that today and you said, oh, I don't know anything about science. And so don't worry, we have something special planned. Today there is a music special. That means we talk relatively little about futuristic and science fiction that we encounter in everyday life, but we listen to music and talk about it in between.
And as always, this is music that my robot, my bot, found on Bandcamp. And it is free music under Creative Commons license. That means the copyright is a bit different. This is music that is designated as such in order to be able to continue to use it for projects. And I will always announce what the license conditions are. And how does this selection come about? I mentioned the robot.
At some point I noticed that there is a lot of Creative Commons music on Bandcamp. So Bandcamp is a portal for Music for artists who can upload their stuff. People can pay for it. Please do that too. And there is a field for licenses, but the search engine that is installed there cannot search for a license. That means you would have to click through. And I'll let a machine do that.
And if you want, you can also follow this machine on Mastodon. Links on our blog www.fantastische-wissenschaftlichkeit.de. It posts a new album every two hours. Just a few days ago it exceeded 10,000 albums. This whole list is also published on the website, where you can search for licenses and tags. Unfortunately, the science fiction tag doesn't produce much. Too bad actually.
Too bad actually, it's a lot. At some point I built in that I can exclude certain tags from the search. There's a lot of doom metal, a lot of ambient stuff. Ambient is, I think, easier to produce than more refined music.
That's a bit... I was just about to say, because good ambient music is not that easy to find and there can't be enough of it.
I think we hear that in the background as well. In my opinion, this is one of the more interesting types. And now we come to what I threatened. I have to announce which music is playing and then I have to say which license it is, because otherwise I would violate the license requirements. And that wouldn't be nice. In this case,
is actually the absolute basic license that Creative Commons provides, namely by attribution, that is, with the mention of the artist I have fulfilled it. And the artist's name is Vivienne Ash. The album is called The Process of Disappearing. Wow. And the song is called Hadal Sludge. So a hadal slug. You know it. I'm not quite sure what hadal or hadality is. From New York or at least the label.
It's sometimes not that easy to read what the label and the artist is. Here is also another name, Seraph with leadspeak. And there is a Ko-Fi page, so you can leave a few dollars or euros behind. And before that we also heard from Rachel Underspoon. From the album Non-Binaural. Do you get it? So not binaural. Binaural means... Is that called stereo or is that a little bit more?
Well, I don't know exactly, but I associate it with this music that always changes between left and right. So really such an explicit wave movement music stuff.
Exactly, probably intended for a slightly hypnotic effect. Rachel Annerspoon from San Diego, California. Synths, guitars, vocals and samples. No gods, no masters, no genres. Slay. The tags definitely indicate genres here. And that is a more complicated license. We have here Creative Commons by NCSA attribution, not commercial, share alike, i.e.
under the name of the artist, not commercial use and pass under the same license. That means, I have to announce who it was, this podcast and this radio show are not commercial, they are even anti-commercial. And under the same license, our podcast actually stands under this license. It's a bit more complicated, I've read about it. It's a kind of collection.
And collections made it even easier for us. It's complicated. We are allowed to talk about it and that doesn't falsify the license that it is. Well, it's unlikely that these people will find us here at some point and won't complain anyway, but maybe complain and then I'll say, oh shit, oh no, sorry, sorry, sorry. By the way, Shit.
In this show there are a few swear words and the music that my bot finds is often by tormented souls, by people who don't have it easy. That means the content, small content warning, it's a bit about depression, self-harm and so on. Most of it is in English. Judge for yourself. That's really mean when you say it in English. You already know, right? Turn it off when it doesn't work.
So, Rachel Underspoon in the background.
What you also have to notice is that it's a fantastic name. Rachel Underspoon. So, big fan. Has it...
more meaning than the first level, which is just a sub-level.
I don't know. So there's the big spoon, the little spoon, maybe there's the other spoon. Who knows if there's a Richard Overspoon somewhere or something.
Right, yes, yes.
Might be a whole family of spoons.
Next spoon adjacent spoon. Yes. Ich habe mich gerade versprochen, es ist nicht Rachel Anderspoon im Hintergrund. Das war Vivian Ash. Aber wir hören gleich weiter ein Song von Rachel Anderspoon, nämlich The Long White Theme. Wir hören uns gleich wieder bei Fantastische Wissenschaftlichkeit auf Radio Blau oder im Podcast.
Sewing the long white seam.
Thank you.
Can't open up, let anybody in Cause they will see my faults, they will see my sins This inability is in itself a fault If they try to get close, they hit a fucking wall I hide myself from view, always just out of frame Hard not to run away, find a new place and name I've done it before, and I'll do it again Why can't I be okay? Why can't I just be a good friend?
And back to fantastic science. Here on Radio Blau. That was just Botfly Mother. Song for the Pathetic and Damaged. That's exactly for us. Botfly Mother from Washington, D.C. is called the Bleeding Edge of Trenerco Pop. And all songs are released into the public domain. Copyright is illegitimate. Nice. Ignore the funny little link below.
And the nice thing about these artists that my bot finds is that the lyrics are very often entered here.
Yes, as it should just be for all artists who do something with text. Right.
That also helps me in the preparation, because then I can fly over pretty quickly whether there is still any nonsense in it. But in that case, I think it speaks to us from the soul. We just talked about acoustic phenomena and psychoacoustics and how difficult it is to listen to people. Yes.
Tips. Tips. Just say it ungeniously. Can you please say that again? Also for the third time. Because no shame. And it just means that you want to be in communication, you want to understand. Right. Yes, yes, yes.
And I still have to learn the hard tour. Sometimes I'm ashamed to ask for the third time, but especially if you could look into my eyes that they might drift in one direction or another. My strategy was, I just told you, to just stare at the mouth. I don't know, do you think all the other people are also so fixed and look where the other people are looking at the conversation?
For example, I see people looking at me in certain areas of the face. where a pickle is or something like that. And I think to myself, my eyes are up here, not far.
Well, I wouldn't give a general answer to that. But I would think, like with this, oh my god, what do people think about me, you usually think the most about yourself and what the others could think. But there are also people who I find very interesting, where they look, for example, when talking.
So I have, for example, one friend, when he talks, then he sometimes looks in a very specific, oblique corner. And there is never something in it. It's really like a physical thing, where his eyes automatically go. And I think to myself, what is there? What is in this corner? Is that like an inner map that this person has while thinking?
It's not a person, it's a cat. Because I read that when they look at the wall, they just hear noises that we can't hear. For example, a water pipe or something. Or the neighbors.
Yeah, or they just see something supernatural. I mean, who should it be? We can't ask them. They can't tell us.
One of the two devils who sit on my respective shoulders.
But to turn the whole thing around, you can also make people explicitly crazy by being the one who... looks at people in a weird way, and that is on the spot between the eyes, above the eyebrows. Because then it looks like you're almost looking at them in the face, but it's super annoying.
Oh no! Oh no! And I'm already doing it with... I thought that would be the neutral point where I look in.
No, that's the lunatic's point of view.
Because as someone who deals with eyes and two-eyed vision and three-dimensionality, I noticed that People always look at you in one eye, they don't look at you in both. And then I thought, okay, I'll break through this terrible habit and I'll stare at people on their noses. And that means I've kind of now all... slightly driven into madness?
So I think exactly between the eyes is still possible, so this center point, I think you might not notice that very much, but a bit over, so almost the beginning of the forehead between the eyebrows, so that's really bad. I've tried that once, also with me, just that someone looks at me like that, it's super uncomfortable. The monobrow convergence point, so to speak. Exactly, yes.
It's been a long year for the fandom.
We're closer than ever before. We've created and laughed and cried as a family. Now we gather together once more. To raise a warm glass of homemade butterbeer Despite her best efforts, our fandom's still here We'll be back with a vengeance to fight on next year But now's time for rest, coziness, and good cheer Wear your coziest cloak to the party The Hufflepuffs brought us all snacks
Finn Knitter's made everyone a Weasley sweater And there's Finnfic enough to fill Santa's sack As we raise a warm glass of homemade butterbeer Despite her best efforts, our fandom's still here Be back with a vengeance to fight on next year But now's time for rest, coziness, and good cheer
Jingle spells plays as our soundtrack Academics are deep in debate Cosplayers trade tips on schoolhouse clerk linings Laughter and chatting keep us up late So raise a warm glass of homemade butterbeer Despite her best efforts, our fandom's still here We'll be back with a vengeance to fight on next year
But now's time for rest, coziness, and good cheer We'll raise up a glass of homemade butterbeer Despite her best efforts, our fandom's still here We'll be back with a vengeance to fight on next year But now's time for rest, coziness, and good cheer
Cheers to fantastic science with a Harry Potter sampler. Or a Harry Potter-inspired sampler. And it's also a Christmas sampler called Jingle Spells 6. So maybe it's even the sixth edition. From The Leaky Cauldron, which I think we already had here in the show. In any case, under the license, Creative Commons, attribution, non-commercial and no derivatives.
That was just the Fangirl Riot Fellow Fandom Winter. In the background is Miranda Pufskin in Godric's Hollow. And I think that's extremely funny, because it's just a Christmas song and at some point the last word just comes, Harry. And I inspired you to go to Bandcamp Give the people money.
It's better to have Bandcamp Friday, because Bandcamp doesn't get anything from them, who now belong to bad, bad companies. And I think here it also applies to good, non-J.K. Rowling purposes, namely, yes. That's the opposite of what J.K. Rowling says. How do you feel about Harry Potter? How do I feel about Harry Potter?
I liked reading the books and during the Christmas holidays I had a week in which I read all the books. And in the book in which Dumbledore dies. It's not a spoiler, because everyone who hasn't noticed it so far doesn't care about it anymore.
It's in me so much that I had to hold back not to say anything. Yes, yes, I know. I saw it in your eyes flash.
No, but anyway, when I read it, I cried a lot. It was very engaging. I felt very at home in this universe and I naturally have my problems with JK Rowling. But I don't judge anyone who celebrates this universe and I just think it's awesome that it has such connecting elements in the youth and stuff like that.
Yes, the previous song is also about how to deal with something like that. And it's amazing how... Not clever, but how... Clever is a strange word. How many different ways people can take it back for themselves, where it then... is okay again, in big quotation marks, because what is okay and what is not okay, hey, people, read.
Yes, and yesterday or the day before yesterday, at two o'clock or so, a dear fellow student, with whom I have written linguistic study courses, probably already Oh my god, Rick, have you ever asked ChatGPT for Harry Potter-style linguistic descriptions? And then came nice answers with linguistic spells describing the phenomena of the suppression of certain languages and so on.
That was pretty interesting, what Chatty said there. And in connection with this magic spell context, it was pretty funny. Chatty, yeah, I recently read about the nickname too. Hardly stumbled. I just came up with it. I didn't know it existed.
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
I just think this ChatGPT is such a stumbling. It's not always very unpleasant.
It's a paratactical acronym. Look, that was almost like such a generalized linguistic term, because it probably doesn't exist at all, but it sounds too realistic. Yes, yes. You see, you don't even need Chatty, but then you come to KUBI, Bay Fantastische Wissenschaftlichkeit, the show for... Futuristisch ist im Alltag und so. Ja, ihr könnt ja so bald einen Podcast zusammen machen. Chatty und Kubi.
Oh nein, nein, nein. Dieser Podcast ist übrigens KI-frei. Ja, ja. Ich finde immer schöne Themen und dann gräbst du ein bisschen und dann merkst du so, oh, programmiert mit der Hilfe von Claude und so und dann You have to be tough. Also no AI-generated music here. Not allowed.
I think, yes, let's continue with this song, because that is probably in one way the most handmade thing I've heard in a long time.
I'm expecting body percussion.
Thank you.
Yeah, it's a fakeout. Hello, back at Fantastische Wissenschaftlichkeit, the music special episode with Rick. Hey. Thank you for being there, by the way. I didn't even imagine it. Were you ever in this episode or were you only in the last episode, the predecessor episode called Coop Show?
Ich war nur in der Vorgängersendung.
Du musst auch mal vorbeikommen, wenn Martha da ist.
Ja, ich bin quasi ein Wiedergänger.
Du bist ein Wiedergänger und du bist außerdem, machst Kunst, machst Machtest. Podcasts. And you do drawing.
Drawing, exactly. Drawing and recently also philosophy.
That's right. And linguistics we just learned in the last podcast.
Sweet combo, I have to say.
You have with Mike, Mike was already in this show, presented his book, it was a fantastic show. By the way, you can listen to all of them on our website. Auch sieben Tage nach dem Hören immer in der Radio Blaue Miniathek. Da kann man das auch als Podcast abonnieren und so. Uns separat dann auch für immer, immer und immer, immer. Und ihr hattet einen Podcast namens Hattet, Habt.
Transphilosophisch über Trans und Philosophie. Richtig. Und ich habe den sehr gerne gehört, weil es eine gute Mischung aus Ernst und Blödsinn? Blödsinn mit Blödsinn, wenn ich so Alltagsquatschen, so wie wir das hier auch versuchen, das Highbrow-Lowbrow zu kombinieren.
Und jetzt, wo du tatsächlich angefangen hast, Philosophie zu studieren, guckst du auf die 100 Folgen, die ihr gemacht habt, zurück und denkst dir, ich habe alles mit Pythagoras verwechselt.
So, first of all, it was 99 episodes. But the 100th is announced and is repeated in unnamed time. No, I actually look back and think like this. I always like to think of one criticism that we found online or a description of our podcast. And then it was transphilosophically one of the two hosts is a trans man. That's not true. And then the funny sentence, but it won't be too philosophical.
And we then made a episode that picks that up and it was, so it wasn't in bad blood at all, it was just a little bit wrong. You can estimate that the way you want, but I always think about it, also in the background of the question you asked me. And I think, no, I think that's actually the coolest philosophy. To really be in exchange for life. And nothing else did Socrates and all the others do.
And I actually think that this academic superstition falsifies what is actually the cool core of philosophy for me personally. Namely, the nonsense. You can call it that. That's what life prepares you for. That means you're throwing your studies away again? No, I think about it very often. And turn this frustration into intensive research.
Did you at least learn fancy words that help you think about things in a different way? Linguistic philosophy and stuff like that.
Or what language he can speak. Yes, so I'm currently very busy with Richard Rorty. And you don't have to know him now. Yes, sounds like a lion. No, but that's very interesting what he's talking about. Basically, the book I like to talk about, but I'll try to do it very briefly, man, is called Contingency as Language and Solidarity. No, Irony, Contingency, Solidarity. Wow. Unity.
Justice and freedom, exactly. No, he's a cool guy and the cool thing about it is that he went through the whole analytical philosophy and is a very renowned professor. So he understood all the things that everyone can celebrate, Kant, Hegel and so on. Quine. And then at the end he said, guys, that doesn't work for an utopian design of a society. Let's do something else and look at the language.
And I can recommend that. That gave me a lot to think about.
An utopian design based on the language.
Very, very roughly. So much more he looks at what language can do or how language and truth are connected. And what does that say about us as humans and about a society that we want to develop? I don't feel anything good about it. And my favorite word out of it and also in general is the contingency. Roughly speaking, you could say it could have been different.
For example, I could have been born somewhere else, I could have had other parents, but I could have gotten a 3 instead of a 2 in the 5th grade. And also the history and so on. And that there are a lot of consequences.
Do you know how much I have to cling to this would have and would have and would have a certain word not to say? But that's probably the number one thing that follows me when I can't sleep. Yes, but the thing is, I think, you can already tell that talking about this kind of philosophy is actually totally boring.
Yes, of course. And for that there is a dispute in Deutschlandfunk. But it's a lot more fun to talk about everyday nonsense.
Or to listen to music that deals with that. And I wish the first track would fit, but it's actually... Well, a counter-design also says something. We heard Nicole McCarver with the track Fas-Mo-No-Ya. That sounds like a word you could have learned. Eudaimonia and stuff. Yeah, yeah, of course. And ontology. Nicole McCarver comes from Springfield, Missouri. Has a nice comic song in her banner.
The album is called House of Fogged Over Mirrors. So the house with the mirrors on which the steam sticks. Condensed. Wow. And in which you can't look inside. Wow. Nicole McCarver describes this album as a collection of instrumental tracks I made on August 1st to 3rd 2020. Don't expect this to be great, as this is my first musical output ever.
Music is a shoe I will grow into and I hope that at least one person enjoys this album. And I think we've already done that, because we both thought it was pretty good. Yeah, it's really nice. And it also reminds me of the first time I had music software and a few sample packs in my hand. By the way, I'm in a very impressive studio room with such zaps on the walls.
So I'm not at Radio Blau, but here in the outside studio Wedding. There are also so... Pyramids on the wall and there's a big 88... 88? buttons. Probably. I've never counted. And I have a microphone stand in front of me. But I'm sitting on a really comically small table. Especially on a comically little chair. That comes with it, because I mean, I have to sit on it.
So, and then we heard from Balkanist Discourse from the album Last Dance. Also from the U.S.A., from Chicago. We heard a track called Resin Bowls Sa-Ti-Tom 1974. That was this guitar... how do you say it? I'd say a twang, but it sounds so harmless that it's not. We'll listen to it again soon. We'll listen to Mandy, which will be a bit more jazzy. Here, by the way, I have to add the license.
Creative Commons Attribution No Derivatives. So, for commercial products, usable, but not remixing. Leave it in this form. And before that, the first attempts were under Creative Commons Attribution, not commercial, share alike. Remixes allowed. Alright, let's go. And as I said, here again Mandy from Balkanist Discourse. We'll be right back with fantastic science.
They said it's not you, but it's them. But hell, you won't just want to scream and cry. There's so much to do, it's a long way to go. And now I'm too old to close. Just all the pain was in disguise. And questions pierced my soul.
Thank you.
Thank you.
But I know that something's wrong, cause you're just trying to grow. I'm trying to do the same, but you've sunk in your teeth and little pain. Feel like it's out of my control, but that's the world is yet again. But even in a bad place in your soul, there was no one to blame. Time is a thing, it just can't be.
But even if from darkness some things you said were true Pushing my luck just to know you went far You said it time and time again I could not be back to the store in December For there's something about this overhaul Seems I've got what I'm doing I resist the thought of myself I'm really bad at it So don't tell me guitar solo
And expectations made by hope That I'm the love you thought so long ago But love can be a selfish thing Think of who you really do know A bunch of friends or something else All just ways to try to box it in But don't you change for someone else You should grow it for yourself guitar solo Am I just lying to myself? Can't be just Say, fuck it, what's the worry? Sometimes things will be used.

We'll be right back.
You start your piece again, the T-sick and K-9 unit It's a matter of time before I'm made, I'm stupid My playwright and tool, if a snake bite wounds to caress me Look at me with the same eyes as Kubrick addressed me as such too Man, fuck you, circle tight knit But you try to bring a plus to Bust through limits like an unmixed beat Even if it's basically lupus, still on repeat Keep a piece of paper folded up inside my left pocket So when he thought it's poppin' in my head, I can jot it It's just me double-knottin' what I've already acknowledged It's nothin' but a me thing, this the new chronic
Hey, uff, das endet plötzlich. Zurück bei fantastischer Wissenschaftlichkeit mit Kuba und Rick. Heute mit weniger fantastischen wissenschaftlichen Themen, mit weniger futuristischen und science fiction, was in unserem Alltag beginnt, sondern einer Musiksondersendung. Und wir haben gerade eben Musik gehört von Lil Figurative aus Nashville, Tennessee.
from the album History Repeats Itself like all music on Bandcamp from my bot found here under the Creative Commons license attribution so you just have to say that this is from Lil Figurative and you can film it for your projects otherwise podcasts parties television shows Abschlussbälle. Praxen verwenden, ohne der GEMA was zu bezahlen, sondern läuft einfach. Nur sagen.
Hinstellen und sagen, das war Lil Figur.
In der Zahnarztpraxis zwischendurch mal eine Ansage machen. Richtig, richtig. Fantastisches Album.
Mein Bot findet selten Hip-Hop. Stimmt nicht ganz, aber selten kommt Hip-Hop in die Sendung. This is one of those cases where I think to myself, my goodness, people, they just do it for fun, put it in for free, you can still use it without paying anything. In this case, for example, there is no field where I can say, here, donate 5 euros.
Or something like that, but it's just what people do because they believe in the good of the world. Very well produced. Oh, maybe still with the warning always in advance. I don't think people always know what this field means when uploading to Bandcamp. That means, maybe they upload it under a free license, but it was intended and not meant that way.
That means, before you put it into your practice, your film, check it out, write it down again and so on.
And it's also nice when people hear, hey, I'd like to play that, can I? That's the awesome confirmation. That's it, yes.
I've practically never been rejected when I've flagged something, especially when you say, hey, this is a very small show here in Leipzig.
Also with that snorting all the time. Wie drückst du das denn so in der E-Mail aus? Ganz viele Haars. Hi. Ja, und alles unterstrichen.
And you don't get any complaints.
You know what?
I don't get any complaints, but sometimes I get ghosting. So people actually, especially guests that I invited and said, hey, can I interview you? And they just don't reply. And I don't take it badly. Maybe they googled us and so on. Hmm, did you actually have guests in your podcast?
Yes, yes, a lot. I was there once. You were there once too. It was very nice. Yes, we had guests and we would also generally like to have more guests or have had. But that is simply connected with a lot of effort. Terms, logistics, catering and also the chemistry has to be right. Das weiß man ja vorher auch immer nicht.
Habt ihr die immer abgeklärt oder hattet ihr einen Fall und du musst jetzt nicht... Habt ihr genug, dass es anonym sein könnte, wo es nicht ganz so gestimmt hat? Weil ich in der Vorgängersendung hiervon, gab es schon so Fälle, wo ich dann... I thought, oh, who did I invite here?
No, we actually didn't have that, but there is an unpublished episode that will never see the light of the world, because the person decided against it afterwards. Ah, look at that, okay. Yeah, that was unfortunately one of the most interesting episodes ever. But you can't do anything. You can't do anything.
And it's okay like that. Better like that than when it's published and we'll notice it later. Exactly. Let's hear something from here. Figurative. Yes, that was great. That was really great. And the tracks are all about two minutes long. That is... I also think the album is a bit conceptual, because all tracks are named after years and then in brackets something else.
We just heard 1973 in brackets Glasses. It starts with 1970 and ends with 1985. And I have the hard assumption that Lil Figurative These years were probably born after that. So another interesting look back maybe. Here too, you can read all the lyrics. Cool. This also makes it easier for us at Radio Blau to work, because we have to make sure that nothing is a big challenge for hip-hop.
Nothing violates the statutes of Radio Blau. But in this show it's not a problem, because it's mostly the people we choose here. And people who put this under free decency, then the chance is greater that this is also cool. Sometimes not. We now hear from the same album, so to speak, nine tracks further skipped to 1982 in brackets, Purge.
so i'ma crack it over a skull and leave a fossil fly like legato fly like a swallow murder music all the bullet sounds staccato heat of the moment speakers choking my speaker broken mentally reloading my pencil seeking an evil poem i speak at home i'm releasing demons i feel them slowly peeking through the window our microphone is an evil totem i spit so much a fraction of it it's preceding ocean i learned that freedom deceives you it only leaves you lonesome you was never told that growing up you
I can't take it serious because people We'll be right back. We'll be right back. I hit you with idea after idea Plus I say exactly what you think it like
And back to Phantastische Wissenschaftlichkeit. Hey, almost. I already told you that the software I use here to make the show is all open source, by the way. has just acquired the ability to stop playing after a track. But then you have to remember to press the corresponding button so that it is also the case. And I said, she just acquired the ability. No, three years ago. I noticed it.
I made the effort today to hack it in, to compile it. And then I saw the code next to it. Stop after the song. Then I looked into the issues of the software on GitHub, where code is published. And I saw the issue that I posted three years ago, where the programmer of this software says, No, I don't think that's something I'll ever implement. I just did it a month later.
Hey, thank you anyway that I can use this here. Aqualung is the name of the software. Otherwise, by the way, we might also use time for shoutouts. Ardour, the whole thing runs on Linux. on the jack audio server. Cadence Katja for the plumbing, for the clamping between the programs. And we use the Carve plugin suite so that our voices sound better. Yes, thank you.
Thank you to all of you who give the software for free, just like the music is also given for free, for free with stars, under a free license, Creative Commons, in this case attribution. And here, in this case, the musician also says very explicitly that it is under this license and reminds us that We should read the copyright license again so that there are no surprises.
It's on their Bandcamp page. And the license, Creative Commons attribution, I follow by saying that it's from Le Morte d'Abi, so The Death of Abby. The album is called... 0P2, Op2 maybe. Also from Nashville, by the way. A musician who works a lot with synthesizers. In this case it's a Korg. Korg with presets. Op6. Does that tell you something? You also have a synthesizer, Rick.
I don't own any Korg synthesizers, but I know that they sound awesome. I have an obsession with mini Casio keyboards from the 70s, 80s and 90s. You're probably not alone. No, but I'm happy with my little finds, which I always get from eBay small ads via Alert. and then when one of them is online again, I go like, oh my god, and then I travel through Berlin or let them send me something.
It's really a great obsession because it's affordable. How nice that it still works. It works and I was, for example, the second time with the same guy and I was like, he took the clinical sign and I was like, I know that from somewhere. But the chat from the last sale was already deleted because it works automatically. And then I came up to him and said, yes, yes, I know this house.
Yes, if it's up there now. And then it was exactly the guy. And he was like, oh, yes, you again. I said, yes, exactly. And he said, yes, now I only have one. So he somehow collected and made a book like that. Much more blatant collection than me. I have that more so. I really play them. So I only buy those that don't interest me in sound. And use them.
Like the people who collect comics and then leave them in the original packaging or collect toys in the original packaging.
No, that contradicts everything in me. Especially since I couldn't do it either. I think I was... Keeping things up without using them is not possible. No, it's not possible.
That reminds me, that reminds me. Hey! I also had a saved eBay search, as it was called back then. You could also write relatively complex queries. So it contains fisheye, but it doesn't contain so-and-so fisheye or ... I can't think of a good example. But you couldn't just say a few tags or simple words, but also filter exactly what you want to search.
At some point I satisfied my 17-year-old collector thing, because a few years later you have more money, maybe not always, but in my case more money than my 17-year-old self. And then it was a nice feeling, but at some point I think I had to get rid of it, put it into the world and so on. Did you sell Synthesizer yourself and did collectors, people you knew would never play it?
No, so far I'm only on the buyer's side. But that also has to do with the fact that I don't have a lot of them yet.
compared to some other people out there and I also really explicitly always look beforehand what kind of sounds they have and many keyboards from this time and this way of doing things have the exact same technology installed and only look different and I don't need that then I buy what looks the best, works best and that's it
Yes, the similar result came with my fisheye lens, which you will find out at some point. Sometimes it was called Soligo, sometimes it was called Kenko, sometimes it was simply available under seven brand names. Someone did his branding on it, but it has the same optics and they are all just as bad, I think.
Yes, exactly. And Casio, for example, is also a company that is known internationally for its various technical names. have sold their stuff. So there are also Casio keyboards in the Arabic version, also very exciting, or just in other versions. With quarter tones?
No, there are sometimes only individual rhythms different, but most of the time they are even exactly the same and just have the writing differently. Yes, yes, okay, I understand. And the manual and so on.
I also notice the description here. I think the presets are behind the tracks. I didn't name the track. It's called 0PX. It starts at XIV, so at 14, and at 20 it has another monomeric story like the last album. And there was the preset Tech Rhythms and Mixwell's Hot Sauce. The vocals are missing. And before that they were called Dark Sci-Fi and Tropical Pop and Neo Soul Stream.
I guess that's a Korg preset, right?
Is to be taken. And the house recording was then there. It sounded pretty cool. And I got the urge again. So we came up with two thoughts. I don't know how much time we have. For both. Top. So my first thought, which is also shorter. Der war, ich hab voll Bock mal wieder auf einen Rave zu gehen, auf dem gute oldschool selbstgemachte Techno-Musik läuft. So a la Düsseldorf was weiß ich was Zeit.
Also so halt noch dieser oldschool Techno, der noch so richtig nach Blechkiste klingt. Find ich richtig geil. Gibt es mittlerweile sehr selten, weil alles so durchproduziert ist und irgendwie jeder in Berlin natürlich auch sein eigenes Studio und seine eigenen DJ-Equipments hat und At best his own club, but that's mostly not enough money. In Berlin. Exactly.
But also going to the club in Berlin has become unpayable. Insofar, yes, it will be done anyway.
But I was looking forward to it. I just got that on the track. I think I've never had light sticks in my hand at a party, but I've already seen them in my hand.
2077.
2077, but also this whole genre and the whole optics of dystopia and so on. And I just had a new piercing pierced into my eyebrows. And the people in Cyberpunk also have piercings and a certain style. And you see that more and more, at least in Berlin, that a lot more people have a lot more piercings. Really? That's at least my observation.
Is that a revival?
Yes, it can be. But I think it's less of a conscious reference to the past revival. It feels like a new trend. But maybe it's just my study bubble.
Piercing from first principles. Exactly.
No, but I had to think about cyberpunk because the people I know who celebrate it also celebrate this cyberpunk style, which is also very present everywhere. And I think that's so crazy because it's supposed to be so futuristic. But now people are starting to dress up and look like in this game, which is supposed to be futuristic. And then such a... a future style in the present.
And then that's not so futuristic anymore. And I wondered if we could ever design a future out of our perception of the present. Which is really future.
I'm afraid that's just very...
Postmodern thoughts. Oh God. It's really embarrassing that I just thought of that.
When I say postmodern, you can also hear that I don't have any pop protection on here. Postmodern. Excuse me, dear listeners. Well, we often discuss this topic. Science fiction that tries to be genuine, never been there, is either insanely rare or doesn't exist, because how do you want to ... Then you really have to throw a random generator and that's often not that interesting.
Yes, and what was it fed from again? With which data?
Right.
Science Fiction usually only talks about what's out there now in a bit of friendly clothes. And friendly clothes can hardly relate to clothes. It's hard not to get stuck somewhere. At the latest with the form of two hoses that hang on top of each other. I don't think we can get out of this.
I thought the interesting thing is that you can't really clarify this question with this genuine vision of the future. I found this year much more interesting. This is a typical example of how you create this reality that you call the future. So if I start to pierce the piercings and the others do the same, then at some point we'll look like a cyberpunk. Whether it's genuine or not, it's there.
I thought that was funny.
In short, just do what you like.
Yes, exactly. That's how it always ends.
In addition, we hear from Alex Walton in Loving Perpetuity. Wow.
Too broad, too cubist I fall apart, I turn away How do I not frighten
A moment.
It'll be like this For the rest of my life Look at me Say, hey, hey Is love, is love, is love
Thank you.
And very carefully back to Phantastische Wissenschaftlichkeit. I don't think there will be any more surprises in this track. No, all good. We heard from Dear Laika. The track is called Granite. From the album Vision of St. Cross. Dear Laika from Cold Ash, United Kingdom. Young woman singing the music. Great description. I can also see the lyrics in front of me and they are dark.
Um, but also nice. Um, under the license Creative Commons, attribution not commercial, share alike, extension under the same license, name naming not commercial, I already said that in German. Here the special edition of Fantastische Wissenschaftlichkeit, music special with Rigg. Hey, Rigg. Um, before that we had heard Alex Walton, Alex Walton, He's always on this show.
I think he also has a label called Youth Against Satan. But I don't think it's as Christ-like as it sounds. From Boston, Massachusetts. That was the album Our Desire Lacks Knowing Music. It's too complicated to understand right away. And we heard from Alex Walton In Loving Perpetuity. Maybe I already said that. It sounds like I already said it. In the background, by the way.
That's not the room tone here, but we have a remix. We hear a remix. I think I have to open the page first, because I don't want to take it too quickly. Released on Delicate Records. A label from Illinois. That's where the track gala ended. You heard it, right? I think I'll mix it in a bit louder.
Delicate Records is an independent record label dedicated to all things alternative, alternative rock, electronic. The album is called Two Minute Silence. The artists are John Lennon and Yoko Ono. The first one is the original. But it's a kind of EP with three remixes of Two Minute Silence. Track 2 is Nightcore Remix. It's just 1 minute and 28 seconds long.
The third one is Two Minute Silence Elements Mix. Two minutes to remix. The fourth one we just heard is Home Demo. Do you get it? I do.
It's funny. It's very funny.
It's very funny. Written by John Lennon Yoko Ono. Produced by John Yoko and Phil Spector. So we're out there. I just saw the very good Lindsay Ellis video essay about Yoko Ono by her. Did you recommend Lindsay Ellis to me? No, I don't think so. But you recommended me to just watch things on YouTube.
And I thanked her and then continued to hang out and then ended up with Lindsay Ellis, who talked a lot about... Disney did Bösewichtinnen. And now, like our mother, Country Points, they only release something once a year, because it's produced on such a high level. But it's worth waiting for it. It's just a bit heart-breaking.
Or you could just subscribe to Patreon and then the tangents to other topics that feel like they come out every week. You got me. I started with the... Let's Plays, you don't call them that anymore, but the Twitch... Twitch streams.
Really?
You don't call them Let's Plays anymore?
Maybe I am. I haven't read the term Let's Play for a long time.
People film themselves playing computer games and you see them in a small cage. ContraPoints does that too. Last but not least, Stray. The cat game, as she calls it. You can spend a good 7 hours there. It's nice when you're already mentally exhausted or do something else and then want to have something to do. Do you have any new hot YouTube tips?
Sorry, I put you on the spot. Oh, all good. There's always something going on on YouTube. I'm actually not that active right now. What I really like is Bailey Sarian or Sarian or whatever her name is. But it's not YouTube essays, it's true crime stories. And she's putting on make-up. And the cool thing is that she's an incredibly funny and good storyteller. Super sympathetic.
The story is very respectable, but with respect for the victims. And not just, I don't know, dramatic. You just feel like you're sitting with a best friend. at the sleepover and you put on make-up and tell funny stories. It's very cool. I can highly recommend all the episodes she does.
Is that possible? Because I'm very, very against true crime. Of course.
Me too, usually. It's also a...
an interesting gendered genre that is mostly heard by women. And I... I got carried away when I thought to myself, okay, then I have to give it a chance. Because I don't want to fall into maybe internalized prejudices that I have I just didn't make it. I can't deal with true crime. Crimes are bad, especially when they hit real people. Yeah, yeah. But maybe if there's still make-up on it.
It sounds like it's at least reasonably packed. Yeah, definitely. Those are all cases. Many cases are simply historical.
Which makes it a lot easier than when you hear a true crime story about a murder that happened two weeks ago. I think that's also a bit of a bad taste style. But many of the cases are historical, many of the cases are predestined to be narrated. Then to spin your own theories, which would fit the course of the story, but for which you have no proof.
So that's just the charm that she's a good storyteller and you're really taken in, based on the few data that there really is, to hear such a cool story. But yeah, that's why I totally understand the general skepticism about true crime, which I share. Also because I don't find most cases, just because a crime happened, exciting.
So I think then, okay, it was just a blatant mass murder or something that was very cruel or very original in quotation marks, but that's not super interesting.
I started listening to a podcast that appears on the iHeartRadio Label Podcast. It's a film podcast and it's called The Bechtel Cast. on the Bechdel test. We don't have to recommend it very much. The Slapshot episode was great. A hockey film. And the iHeartRadio network has a lot of advertising and they also host a lot of true crime podcasts.
And I have to press the skip button very quickly at the beginning because there is a lot of What is cut out as advertising are the juicy pieces and then there is also the dum-dum laid underneath. Fast, fast, fast through to good content. Don't listen, don't listen, I don't want to hear it. But I definitely give, say it again, who do you have in Poland? Bailey Sarian. I give a chance. Yes, yes.
I try to tap it into YouTube somehow.
That would definitely be something reasonable. Yes, safe. She is also huge. She has a huge followership. And what I also like about True Crime Podcasts are the things from Studio Boominz. I can really recommend them.
They are cool produced, very entertaining and they are not cases where people are dying, but rather organized crime, like crazy cusses or for example What the Fuck Happened to Ken Jebsen, like a chronicle and they are cool things. Workings. Yes. I'm currently listening to the Lederhosenkartell. Also very exciting over the Oktoberfest.
Oh, oh yeah, okay. Yes, I guess where it's going.
The only thing that's really bad about it, and I think ... The dialect? No, that's completely okay, but ... I meant something like the recited dialect. No, no, that doesn't happen. But the bad thing is that, well, we're here among us, so I can say my opinion. There are such consequences. Don't say it any further.
There are such consequences, in which the speaker, in my opinion, is either choked or sick or actually has an MT, which I would not formulate as a pretext. Yes. Because he speaks so nasal compared to the other episodes that I couldn't hear it anymore sometimes. And I'm so sorry for that because it's just good. But something was going on there.
That's so really bad, my nose is clogged and so really, that's so really this.
Yes. Yes, I also became a little snobby. I'm always happy when people, I keep hanging out with people I know and then you hear something and it's just not so well spelled out and then a voice is quiet and my ears are not younger and then I can't hear anything anymore. That's what the guy who does the podcast says, in which you always hear the pops.
That's because of your microphone. Ja, ja, ja, ja. Hast du mein Fantamissen reingehört, mein Lieber? Oh, ich fühle mich ertappt. Ich hab reingehört.
Notgedrungen. Es tut mir leid. Nein, nein. Hunderte an Poplauten. Hunderte. Tausende. Wir hören. Passend. Mhm, I've already noticed. From one of my absolute favorite bands, and I'm always happy when my buddy finds them. And I have to mention again and again how nice it is that they publish under a free license. They are Big Blood from Maine.
Album, also one of the, if not the best album of them, Do You Wanna Have a Skeleton Dream? We listen to Insecure Kids.
One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four.
I was out playing shows and everything was great I was in my element, I was on cloud nine Nothing could get me down Something was very great My friends were sitting alone in a room Playing Fortnite, that's what you do They said, who needs to talk face to face? We've got Snapchat now, it's in its place They said, who needs real friends? We've got internet
And if you ask us what century we're from We'll say the century of neck injuries We're insecure kids La la la la la We just need the wings to fly We're insecure kids Never go outside I was sitting by my door When I heard a knock I'd never heard before I looked through the peephole to see Oh no, it was reality
I've got an overdue Passing to me Oh can't you see It's true to be I'll take you around the world And show you the things You couldn't stop Like the deaths and the wars Everywhere We're insecure kids La la la Just need the wings to fly We're insecure kids Wanna lay down and cry We're insecure kids
You gotta wake, wake, wake, wake up from this dream You gotta wake, wake, wake, wake up from this dream You gotta wake, wake, wake, wake up from this dream You gotta wake, wake, wake, wake up from this dream
Wake up from this dream You gotta wake, wake, wake, wake up from this dream You gotta wake, wake, wake, wake up from this dream You gotta wake, wake, wake, wake up from this dream We're insecure kids La la la la la We'll just need the wings to fly We're insecure kids That's the one right? Why didn't you say that?
That's the one right? And back with the Insecure Kids of fantastic science. That's right this time, because Martha is not there. Hey, back here with Reagan and Kuba.
Did you just call me Insecure Kid? Oh, that's right. I measured that. How dare you.
For entertainment purposes. We heard Big Blood. From the album. Do you have... Do you wanna have a skeleton dream? Do you, Rick? I do. I'm not quite sure. I already had a lot of them. Voice, by the way. Colleen Kinsella. So it's actually Caleb and... No, crap. Here. Colleen and Caleb. A couple. Queenisa Kinsella Mulcairn is her daughter and she's singing now.
And I think she was 13 or something like that. And damn, I'd love to have a voice like that.
I thought so too. Was that a filter now? Because the filter sounded extremely realistic if it was a children's voice filter. And I thought, no, that's really a kid and that's really good. And at the same time you still hear what is not so good, but it fits because it is a 13 year old kid and I find it scary when children are already professional.
That's why I was very happy that it was not 100% correct, but just good and beautiful. And good and beautiful, that's enough. Good and beautiful. No, really nice.
In the background again from you Laika. That sounds right. Hey, that's it for this month at Phantastische Wissenschaftlichkeit. I have to step on the brake so hard every time I say Phantastische Wissenschaftlichkeit. That was better. Rick, vielen Dank, dass du co-hosted hast in dieser Sendung. Gute Besserung an Martha. Yes, gute Besserung. Ich hoffe, wir waren eine würdige Vertretung.
Hard to top, but maybe a pleasant alternative.
Yes, yes, yes, yes. I think I was much less smart when Martha was there. I also measure that to say. Wow. Because I pull you down so far that we don't... You know?
But it could also be that we just listened to music before.
Yes, yes, you can't really point that out intellectually. Yes. Do you want to be found on the internet if people wanted to do that?
No.
Okay, then that's good.
I don't have anything to offer right now and I feel very comfortable in my not-findability. Unless you already know me.
Exactly, that's what I often do.
And you can listen to the old episodes of Transphilosophisch at any time. They're online.
You could probably also listen to them at any podcasting. Transphilosophisch, great recommendation. Do you have something like an entry-level episode? I try to do my best every time that you can give people a hand. You have one of the 99 where you would say it has a low threshold, but I actually think all of them are relatively low. Accessible, right?
Yes, accessible I would say that all are. I think everything in the last two seasons we found particularly good, because we really got better with the podcast. And an episode that I have very good memories of is the one about luck. I thought that was pretty cool.
All right, so just type in transphilosophic happiness, download it. That's it. Thank you for tuning in. We'll see you again in four weeks. You can find us on www.fantastische-wissenschaftlichkeit.de, just the way you say it. To conclude, let's listen to a longer... I think it fits quite well. It's by Mia Aioi. It's called Side C. It's an album of four tracks.
Side A, B, C and D. I think it's more digital and it's not a real double LP, where there are four tracks. It's more of a virtual tetrahedron.
That's actually pretty cool. It seems to be such a thing that you structure your albums on Bandcamp. Yes, yes, yes, that's already the first time today. I think that's very good. Me too. I love concept albums.
Come on with it. Mia Ioioi comes from San Francisco. Has this here under the Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike license published. So also for commercial purposes. I would be careful, because the byline here says, I sampled a lot of shit. That means, probably, when it comes hard to hard, hmm, maybe the samples aren't all cleared. But hey, if you don't say anything, we won't do it either.
Have fun with the following shows. They'll make it much cleaner. So, thanks for tuning in. Ciao. Ciao, ciao. Have fun.
