'At the end of 1981, when I came back from a long tour (with Klaus Schulze) I still felt in a "concert mood" for a few days and so one evening I have a "Manuel Göttsching solo concert" in my studio — just for myself. I luckily had the reflex to press the red "record" button on the tape machine. It was the 12th of December, 1981.'

End of quote. I know this kind of performance is not uncommon these days, but it is interesting to hear early results of performing in this manner.

Regarding LB[1]: Manuel Göttsching said on his liner notes for E2-E4:

'My collection of synthesizers, sequencers, rhythm computers and keyboards had been growing steadily since 1975. In my studio, everything was switched on night and day so that I could start whenever I wanted. I even trailed all this material with me to concerts where I would play, for example, at fashion shows which were rather fashion "happenings" or "events" as they're called nowadays.'

I'm staying home during the current snowstorm, but it's turning to the worst combo: snow + rain, making every surface icy. That may lock me up in here for a few days.

Sorry, everyone. You're trapped in here with me.

I don't get the discrepancy:

#Fusion power plants: "the problem is almost solved! We'll have them in a decade or two."

Fission power plants (a half-century-old tech): "uughh, it's complicated to build, we don't have the expertise, it's going to take a decade to build anything, and cost way too much."
