Music inspired by a journey to the Sahara in southern Algeria in May 2025. I heard a couple of the songs over the stereo of the battered Landcruiser with which we travelled this extraterrestrial landscape. Other songs are from this region or simply seemed to fit the mood. Weiterlesen
This year’s collection of Other Christmas Carols. As usual a highly arbitrary sample of inspiring and reflective tunes. I find the lyrics of the Bach Motette „Jesu, meine Freude“, BWV 227, as performed by the Collegium Vocale Gent particularly befitting: „Trotz dem alten Drachen / trotz des Todes Rachen / trotz der Furcht dazu! / Tobe, Welt, und springe / ich steh hier und singe / in gar sichrer Ruh!“
This year’s collection of Other Christmas Carols. As usual a highly arbitrary sample of inspiring and reflective tunes. Kudos to apo.stoi for certain inspirations. I do not own the rights to any of these songs. Go and buy them. Last years‘ lists are archived here. The initial tracks (I edited many of them) are on Spotify. The complete playlist with the edited versions can be found below and on Soundcloud. Enjoy.

Some summer songs. As usual a random selection of inspiring and reflective tunes. This year may be even more eclectic than usual, but hey. I do not own the rights to any of these songs. Go and buy the music. Lists from the past can be found here. See tracks (slightly modified and not remastered) also on Spotify and YouTube

Haim Harari is among many things one of the founding fathers of the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (IST Austria). Together with Olaf Kübler and Hubert Markl, Haim authored the Report of the International Committee published in 2006 which to this day serves as blue-print for the development of IST Austria. Before he assumed this function at IST Austria he had a spectacular career as particle physicist only matched by his spectacular career as president of the Weizmann Institute, omitting his eminent role as science educator and skipping his outstanding qualities as author. Since 2007 I had the honor to work with him at IST Austria. On November 18, 2020, Haim turned 80. To celebrate him a team at IST Austria collected texts of his fellow-travellers. Here is my take.
