New Ideas

By

Restlessness - is what occurs - when one has accumulated a lot of creative ideas with no proper platform of expression, and if we are going there - why not do it under a new company and brand. Thus inevitably starts the search for a name. 

These days to claim a unique name, means looking for a unique internet domain. First was brainstorming candidates on 'paper', as below, and then matching a domain not already taken.

My own discovery of electronic music started in late-1980s to early-1990s, while in India. Forget about internet or mobile phones and most music was still played on cassette tapes. Having grown up on overly sentimental (or highly poetic) Hindi film music with a sad touch, I was looking for a positive sound from the future that was more instrumental.  I went backwards from the current bands to eventually find Kraftwerk, and it ticked all the boxes perfectly for me. The band was orignally formed before my time on Earth, in the 1970s. It fused futuristic industrial-computer-man-machine themes so well, that it still resonates in the age of approaching AI singularity. Kraftwerk is widely regarded as one of the most influential bands in the history of electronic music, and their impact extends to various genres, including techno, hip hop, synth-pop, and more.
