31. Januar 2025: "Ich arbeite zur Zeit eifrig an der 9. Episode meiner Video-Reihe über Isaac Asimov und sein Trantor/Foundation-Universum. In dem Roman "Prelude To Foundation" betreten wir zum ersten Mal den imperialen Hauptplaneten Trantor und verlieren uns für hunderte von Seiten in seiner dichten Architektur. Doch es wird noch einige Tage dauern, bis das Video fertig und. Und so lade ich mal eine kleine, ungewöhnliche Playlist hoch, die ein wenig wie ein hypothetischer Soundtrack zur Lektüre dienen kann"
Impressionen des nackten Affen und seiner infantilen Zivilisation auf ihrem Weg zu den Sternen (mit einem Umweg über die Apokalypse). Denn in 200 Jahren werden Menschen auf uns zurückblicken und feststellen, dass wir korrupte, heuchelnde, verlogene und geldgeile Trottel waren. Doch es gibt auch Negatives aus unserer Zeit zu berichten.

Silent Hive 05
SILENT HIVE - curating music from the genres of Ambient, 4th World Music and experimental atmospheric sounds in general. This video is a part of a playlist dedicated to ESCAPISM.
The music is meant to evoke nostalgia, exotica or a sense of wonder, mystery and adventure.
It can accompany you, while you're working or doing otherwise dull chores. Or you can experiment with it on your own. Maybe it will help you to fall asleep, or be a soundtrack to your thoughts, while you work on a manuscript, or paint, or ... Maybe you just want to shut out the world outside for a moment.
PS: This is an AI-free zone.
