Variations in Air Pressure
release date: february 2010 / Aufstieg AV / aav1001

Music - to all intents and purposes - is a rather ephemeral affair; mere changes in air pressure lacking meteorological significance.
Etymology of the German words 'Rausch' (inebriation; 'the soul’s drunkenness, the delight of the inner faculties that lead to self-forgetfulness') and 'Rauschen' (noise, as in: white noise or grainy noise, or 'signal to noise ratio') reveals an intricate linkage between concepts of acoustic noise, intoxication, and intense pleasure.
And it is not without reason that the meanings of these words connect.
