Writing electronic music may seem like an easy task at first. All who have tried have realised that there is a difference between writing a piece that sounds either amateurish or too commercial and creating something truly unique. Electronic music is supposed to be opening new horizons towards melodic and rhythmic structures that are not limited by physical properties of natural instruments and its musicians. One can argue though, that the removal of all such intermediaries brings the composer a step closer to the ultimate barrier. Of course, we’re talking about inspiration. There are a plenty of audio samples and software packages out there, in fact maybe too many. Machines are increasingly fast and humans increasingly impatient which inevitably leads to a path where machines will be able to interface with the composer on almost an organic level and reward the musician with an instant result. Unfortunately we’re not quite there yet and it will be some time until we reach that level. But let’s reflect on this exciting time where technology and science flourish and draw our inspiration from this dynamic and uplifting era.

Organiser should foot bill ~ council Annalise Walliker - January 05, 2008 12:00am, Australia Emergency services officials have asked the organisers of the troubled Kryal Castle raves to foot the bill for dealing with drug users and overdoses. The request comes as organiser Ritchie McNeill, director of Totem Industries, urged drug users to take ecstasy rather than GHB at his raves, saying it caused fewer overdoses. Mr McNeill's comments, posted on a dance music website, have outraged the Ballarat Base Hospital, which treated more than two dozen overdoses from the last two Kryal Castle raves. Reader Comment: Techno of Vukovar 11:02pm January 17, 2008 Like someone mentioned, banning drugs and alcohol does only half the job. I believe that organisers of raves found liable for drug encouragement and lack of control of illegal substances in their events should be not only made to pay the cost of the emergency treatment but also for the cost of drug rehab programmes to help the kids with the source of the problem, not just the addiction. Via: NEWS.COM.AU Classic astroturfing is the practice of disguising an orchestrated campaign as a spontaneous upwelling of public opinion. Some say the pharmaceutical industry's funding of patient support groups in the US comes perilously close to this ( New Scientist , 27 October 2006, p1. These groups offer patients information about available treatments and campaign for them to be paid for by publicly funded health insurance programmes. Pharmaceutical companies would clearly have much to gain by filtering their marketing messages through such organisations.
