Oh, how time flies: a look back at the listening session and presentation of activeRat and Speckled-Toshe publications two weeks ago at the Option Construction at HEAD-Genève, to which Katharina Hohmann invited me. A joyful moment of vinyl-spinning, reminding us of the carefree times of the Mangiadischi, of which Katharina reminded me. (Sand on the vinyls, sun & fun etc.!) Thanks a lot to Katharina all the interested and great people who came.
