Clarke Vince - Songs Of Silence CD
Vince Clarke, ikona synthpopovej éry ako prvý skladateľ Depeche Mode, Yazoo a takmer 40 rokov súčasťou dua Erasure, sa vydáva na novú cestu so svojím vôbec prvým sólovým albumom, odhaľuje pozoruhodný nový aspekt svojej hudobnej brilantnosti s albumom "Songs of Silence". V tomto projekte Clarke skúma nedotknutú cestu ambientnej elektronickej krásy, výrazne sa odchyľuje od svojho slávneho elektropopového dedičstva, aby vytvoril album, ktorý stojí v jeho vlastnej ríši. V skladbe „Songs of Silence“ ste pozvaní zažiť zvukovú scénu, ktorá je bohato sugestívna a zároveň neobsahuje texty. Album preukazuje číre majstrovstvo nad zvoleným médiom a evokuje kozmickú odľahlosť prostredníctvom príbehov vytvorených syntetizátorom, ktoré hlboko rezonujú v ich tichu. Clarke si pri tvorbe tohto albumu osvojil prísny, no inšpirovaný prístup, pričom sa držal dvoch základných pravidiel, ktoré by riadili podstatu tohto projektu. Po prvé, zvuková tapiséria tkaná celým albumom vychádza výlučne zo zvukov generovaných Eurorackom, modulárnym syntetizátorovým formátom, ktorý sa objavil v polovici 90. rokov. Po druhé, každá skladba sa odvíja okolo jedinej, rezonančnej noty, pričom zachováva súdržný kľúč, ktorý skladbu spája v harmonickej jednote. Výsledné kompozície zapuzdrujú príbehy bez slov, ktoré lákajú poslucháčov do ríše pohlcujúceho pokoja, prerušovaného výraznými zásahmi, ktoré slúžia ako dojímavá pripomienka ľudského dotyku, ktorý riadi túto hudobnú odyseu.

The New Testament 9 - Galatians (EN)
The book of Galatians is a Pauline Epistle (letter from Paul). It was written by the Apostle Paul about 49 A. D. prior to the Jerusalem Council which had taken place in 50 A. D. This quite possibly could have been Paul’s first letter. The key personalities of this book are the Apostle Paul, Peter, Barnabas, Abraham, Titus, and false teachers.

The Nation of Plants
As plants see it, humans are not the masters of the Earth but only one of its most unpleasant and irksome residents. They have been on the planet for only about 300,000 years ago (nothing compared to the three billon years of plant evolution), yet have changed the conditions of the planet so drastically as to make it a dangerous place for their own survival. It's time for the plants to offer advice. In this playful, philosophical manifesto, Stefano Mancuso, expert on plant intelligence, presents a new constitution on which to build our future as beings respectful of the Earth and its inhabitants. These eight articles - the fundamental pillars on which plant life is based - must henceforth regulate all living beings.

The Rise And Fall of Athens
Plutarch traces the fortunes of Athens through nine lives - from Theseus, its founder, to Lysander, its Spartan conqueror - in this seminal work
What makes a leader? For Plutarch the answer lay not in great victories, but in moral strengths. In these nine biographies, taken from his Parallel Lives, Plutarch illustrates the rise and fall of Athens through nine lives, from the legendary days of Theseus, the city's founder, through Solon, Themistocles, Aristides, Cimon, Pericles, Nicias and Alcibiades, to the razing of its walls by Lysander. Plutarch ultimately held the weaknesses of its leaders responsible for the city's fall.
His work is invaluable for its imaginative reconstruction of the past, and profound insights into human life and achievement. This edition of Ian Scott-Kilvert's seminal translation, fully revised with a new introduction and notes by John Marincola, now also contains Plutarch's attack on the first historian, 'On the Malice of Herodotus'.

Wasting Time on the Internet
Using clear, readable prose, conceptual artist and poet Kenneth Goldsmith's manifesto shows how our time on the internet is not really wasted but is quite productive and creative as he puts the experience in its proper theoretical and philosophical context. Kenneth Goldsmith wants you to rethink the internet. Many people feel guilty after spending hours watching cat videos or clicking link after link after link.
But Goldsmith sees that "wasted" time differently. Unlike old media, the internet demands active engagement-and it's actually making us more social, more creative, even more productive. When Goldsmith, a renowned conceptual artist and poet, introduced a class at the University of Pennsylvania called "Wasting Time on the Internet", he nearly broke the internet.
The New Yorker, the Atlantic, the Washington Post, Slate, Vice, Time, CNN, the Telegraph, and many more, ran articles expressing their shock, dismay, and, ultimately, their curiosity. Goldsmith's ideas struck a nerve, because they are brilliantly subversive-and endlessly shareable. In Wasting Time on the Internet, Goldsmith expands upon his provocative insights, contending that our digital lives are remaking human experience.
When we're "wasting time," we're actually creating a culture of collaboration. We're reading and writing more-and quite differently. And we're turning concepts of authority and authenticity upside-down.
The internet puts us in a state between deep focus and subconscious flow, a state that Goldsmith argues is ideal for creativity. Where that creativity takes us will be one of the stories of the twenty-first century. Wide-ranging, counterintuitive, engrossing, unpredictable-like the internet itself-Wasting Time on the Internet is the manifesto you didn't know you needed.

The Tell-Tale Heart
"The Tell-Tale Heart" is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe first published in 1843. It follows an unnamed narrator who insists on his sanity after murdering an old man with a "vulture eye". The murder is carefully calculated, and the murderer hides the body by cutting it into pieces and hiding it under the floorboards. Ultimately the narrator's guilt manifests itself in the hallucination that the man's heart is still beating under the floorboards.It is unclear what relationship, if any, the old man and his murderer share. It has been suggested that the old man is a father figure or, perhaps, that his vulture eye represents some sort of veiled secret. The ambiguity and lack of details about the two main characters stand in stark contrast to the specific plot details leading up to the murder.The story was first published in James Russell Lowell's The Pioneer in January 1843. "The Tell-Tale Heart" is widely considered a classic of the Gothic fiction genre and one of Poe's most famous short stories.
