this was a story from CDM if you don’t know but, after reading specific parts of the report, i thought that maybe i should post a little about this (i’ll tell you why after). daniel hansson, pictured below, was a co-founder of the wildly innovative elektron. elektron created devices such as the machinedrum and the monomachine, which are intelligent, elegant, exceptional pieces of music creation - with a cult
following to boot. sadly, daniel died abruptly in a tragic car accident very shortly after arguru (discodsp, imageline, etc.) had passed away in the same manner. in either case, there has been a tribute compilation created called “45 tribute” which has 30 tracks on the cd for $5 bucks. the proceeds are being directed at the world wildlife fund, which was daniel’s favorite charity. peter also reports on CDM that the “organizers don’t have a PR budget for this, so we’re their PR”, and that means a lot. dig up $5 somewhere and pick up this tribute to a revolutionary individual who gave his life to creativity.
