what is research?

* being paid for keeping yourself busy all day by thinking about problems?
* assuming that the solution already exists (somewhere in the domain of possibilities, or somewhere else in the world) and therefore has to be re-searched in order to (hopefully) be re-found??
* other proposals?

(I presumably need your help on that one, as - according to this definition - I already missed the chance to ever become a serious researcher in my childhood... (how should I have known that a grandmother's clock should have any significance to my career path ;) )

new music - just printed and recorded..

In case anyone thinks I'm having lazy weekends... I'm not... :) In fact, I spent all Saturday and Sunday in the studio, recording a new soundtrack for a very old short film. The music was composed by Tiziano Popoli for last year's short film festival in Bolzano and we played the world first performance. Now, one year later, the resistant core of the orchestra found together again and on this weekend we finally recorded Tiziano's wonderful music. I think it went quite well, and I'm impatient to see the final result: the movie with our freshly packed soundtrack :)
If anyone is interested in having a 'good old time' cinema experience, I invite you warmly to our concert next Saturday: as there is another film festival this year (which is even dedicated to these 'rimusicazioni's) we will perform with two films, one with the mentioned soundtrack and one with music by Satie.

alternative music

Maybe some of you know about interesting modern music, for example for tape and orchestra or piano with integrated toolboxes...

So how does that sound: 'Music for one apartment and six drummers' ? If you are curious, click here!
