No wonder, I had my radio show today for DFM RTV Int. (http://dfm.nu) with my homegrown soundscapes and music. It would be fun if you come listen the show live on thursday 22:00 (GMT +1). You only have to visit http://dfm.nu to find a link to the livestream and chat. And ofcourse I would like to say hello to all the people who are listening on a later moment by listening to a Podcast of this live show. Thank you for downloading this show again. Hope you all like it. And if you have comments just send it to zebra404@xs4all.nl
This week I had a 'normal' radioshow for DFM RTV Int. (http://dfm.nu) with my homegrown soundscapes and music. And like I promised with embedded Paris sounds. If you like be live on the radioshow; I'm doing the show every thursday from 22:00 till 24:00 (GMT +1). You only have to visit http://dfm.nu to find a link to the livestream and chat. Maybe'll see you next time on the chatchannel. And no surprise of course, but my nickname on that is 'Zebra404'.
Malcolm Gladwell is back on IT Conversations to discuss his new book, Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking. Dr. Moira Gunn asks him, "Do you really think there's a science of decision?" We have two kinds of thought, Malcolm says. The first is the rational, deliberate and conscious thought that we analyze and cherish. The other is the kind of thinking that occurs below the level of awareness, and it doesn't happen slowly and deliberately, but really quickly. We tend to dismiss the latter in our society, but in the past few years psychologists have referred to this as the product of the adaptive unconscious. It's a kind of a big computer that does all the background tasks. It's powerful and fast, but because it's not part of our consciousness, it's rather mysterious.
Join Moira for another great (audio) interview with an IT Conversations favorite.
And again this week there's plenty of freemusic to listen to. I think februari will be the month of free music. Meanwhile I'm making some music myself but you'll listen to that stuff next month. Hope you can wait for that and that you'll enjoy this show

Still did not any time to make new music this week. So this week I did ANOTHER show with music from all over the world wich I found from the freemusic circuit. Lots of great music form different artists and bands. There's still enough to enjoy this week. So I hope you will. See you next week
"Beautiful sounds. Gorgeous musical compositions derived from other recordings but rearranged and transformed so skillfully that you'd have some measure of difficulty extracting the source recordings from the final pieces..."
I had my performance for DFM RTV Int. (http://dfm.nu) on this thursday from 22:00 till 24:00 (GMT +1). This week I decided to have a different show as normally. For this week I didn;t play soundstuff of myself but just cool free music wich I found on garageband.com. This is a great place to find lots of music for free in all kind of styles. For me this show was a nice variation. Hope you'll like it too.
