[En] Quote of the day : Dopplereffekt

dopplereffekt

There is a division between the rich and the poor. And these technologies are usually controlled by the people that have the ressources to fund them. The technologies which become obsolete are no longer useful for this powerful group, and eventually trickle down to what we see today. A lot of outdated military technology is now in use with the common people, the general public. Take a radar, for example, which was invented in the Second World War. Now you can use the same technology in your vehicule to ward off police.

You can find new uses for any kind of technology.

People are still using nets to catch fish, people are still using knives in the kitchen. And those technologies have been around for thousands of years. They don’t become obsolete, they become refined over time.

Gerald Donald,
part of Dopplereffekt with Michaela To Nhan Le Thi,
interviewed in The Wire – October 2009

Boing Poum Tchak! is not an audioblog.

There is no illegal music to download here. Only mp3s from free netlabels are available and mixes. Audio samples are marked and / or in low-fi quality (80kbps / 45 sec max) or streamed from online record-shops.

Since February 2009, we organize small parties in bars named Party Poum Tchak!. Roger 23, Jacques from the Parisian Smallville shop, Break SL, and Leo Le Loup have already played with us.
