Peire Vidal (born mid-12th century) was an Old Occitan (ockee tawn) troubadour. Forty-five of his songs are extant. The twelve that still have melodies bear testament to the deserved nature of his musical reputation.
Peire Vidal is referenced in Ezra Pound's poem, Pierre Vidal Old, and Ford Madox Ford's novel, The Good Soldier, as well as in Leopold von Sacher-Masoch's novella Venus in Furs. George W. Cronyn wrote a fictionalized biography of Vidal entitled The Fool of Venus: The Story of Peire Vidal (1934), which contains many lines from his poetry, some in Provencal, some in English translation.
I discovered a label called Heimat Der Katastrophe (HDK)
We'll be exploring their catalog over this and upcoming episode of Dragonsynth Adventures.
The label focused on ambient punk, minimal-synth, dungeon-drone, wartime music and post-nuclear wave.

Skip the history lesson: 5:24
A relatively short video about early loop-based music techniques and the differences between music production and DJing/remixing.
Ethics in the arts is important to me and one of my pet peeves is people that slap together cookie cutter tracks using premade loops and then try to play it off as if the entire creation was made "from scratch". People that do this are charlatans. Even worse are people that lift entire tracks from others and throw a few samples on it, calling it their own music. Not only is that sad, it's very dishonest and dishonorable.
Legitimate electronic music production can make use of premade loops, as I will show in subsequent videos, but in this video we see the obviously fraudulent way.
