Hallihallo and welcome to a new edition of the digression,
|
|
|
0:00:38 – 0:00:44
Every now and then I almost never get off topic.
|
|
|
0:00:44 – 0:00:50
Yes, I'm Sascha Markmann and say hello.
|
|
|
0:00:50 – 0:00:57
I thought, let's talk about me.
|
|
|
0:00:57 – 0:01:06
I know, I usually discuss topics here that interest me in some way or other.
|
|
|
0:01:06 – 0:01:16
Events that happened somehow and things that keep me busy. Sometimes it's social,
|
|
|
0:01:16 – 0:01:24
Sometimes it's private and personal, but this time we really dive deep into the private.
|
|
|
0:01:24 – 0:01:30
Who is Sascha Markmann and why am I doing what I am doing here?
|
|
|
0:01:30 – 0:01:41
So to me. I was born in 1977, so I'm heading very steeply towards the 50.
|
|
|
0:01:43 – 0:01:55
And in contrast to the age where all the bums are planning, before the 30's, it's like that with me, yes
|
|
|
0:01:55 – 0:02:01
I'm just thinking, where am I, what am I, what am I doing, what is out of me
|
|
|
0:02:01 – 0:02:06
What could I do with my desires and ideas for my future?
|
|
|
0:02:06 – 0:02:08
Introduce, realize.
|
|
|
0:02:08 – 0:02:22
Yes, after I've gone through the typical career, kindergarten, school, I'll be there someday
|
|
|
0:02:22 – 0:02:33
I started and did a stink-normal training as an electrical installer, which I did to God.
|
|
|
0:02:33 – 0:02:46
Newspaper could shorten and so after two and a half years finished journeyman was. I then had myself
|
|
|
0:02:46 – 0:02:56
already registered for mathematics and computer science studies here in Dortmund, I have also been accepted
|
|
|
0:02:56 – 0:02:59
I immediately started studying.
|
|
|
0:02:59 – 0:03:07
I worked with my old trainers during my semester break.
|
|
|
0:03:07 – 0:03:17
This was a huge electrical company that built for control cabinets, for power plants, for large companies.
|
|
|
0:03:17 – 0:03:24
And otherwise, I worked at a small electrical retailer.
|
|
|
0:03:24 – 0:03:29
Here's how to fix washing machines, TVs, and stuff like that.
|
|
|
0:03:29 – 0:03:41
Since I was or am a radio amateur and have always been interested in electronics and have the electrician in my pocket,
|
|
|
0:03:41 – 0:03:47
It was not a problem to repair electrical equipment.
|
|
|
0:03:47 – 0:03:51
That's how I financed my studies.
|
|
|
0:03:51 – 0:03:59
The only stupid thing that happened to me, the Bundeswehr contacted me and I had once
|
|
|
0:03:59 – 0:04:06
Leave it alone and the second time it didn't look good. I've been patterned. me
|
|
|
0:04:06 – 0:04:14
I am patterned T7, i.e. liberation from basic training, but someone of the radio amateur
|
|
|
0:04:14 – 0:04:24
An electrician and a typewriter can write. They needed one and wanted one.
|
|
|
0:04:24 – 0:04:32
her. Yes, I had to refuse. I decided to do it because it was from my colleagues.
|
|
|
0:04:32 – 0:04:48
recognized that they offer so-called exemption places at the DRC or in civil protection. And this
|
|
|
0:04:48 – 0:04:56
I did. I introduced myself and was taken very quickly. And so I have
|
|
|
0:04:56 – 0:05:05
stop besides studying, besides work, many weekend services and also in the week still in the evening
|
|
|
0:05:05 – 0:05:13
at any events, patches glued, blood pressure measured, at any amount
|
|
|
0:05:13 – 0:05:20
Exercises participated and a few other things. And then I realized that this
|
|
|
0:05:20 – 0:05:28
Working with people is a lot of fun. At some point I was done with it.
|
|
|
0:05:28 – 0:05:36
Studied and then had a few more years at the DRK, because you have to stay for seven years
|
|
|
0:05:36 – 0:05:45
at that time, so that the stop is credited with the Siebeldienstzeit, and
|
|
|
0:05:45 – 0:05:59
started to work in Dortmund at the city, in the computer department, I waited there servers.
|
|
|
0:05:59 – 0:06:08
And at that time, digitalization was just kind of happening, but the infrastructure
|
|
|
0:06:08 – 0:06:16
built and such things. And I really realized that doesn't make you a buck. You don't have a buck,
|
|
|
0:06:16 – 0:06:24
Do stupid things all the time. And at that time, somehow
|
|
|
0:06:24 – 0:06:31
the new market just fluttered and this was the first time that the whole tech bubble burst
|
|
|
0:06:31 – 0:06:37
is here in Germany. Then I reorientated myself and especially towards it,
|
|
|
0:06:37 – 0:06:44
Tell me about the DRC, it's really fun. So I went to the DRC and looked around.
|
|
|
0:06:44 – 0:06:50
I mean, I was already there anyway and drove the emergency doctor through the area and was
|
|
|
0:06:50 – 0:06:55
Also on the ambulance, had meanwhile made my paramedic.
|
|
|
0:06:55 – 0:07:05
Yes, and then came the fact that they were looking for something in the alpine care. I have 14 days of vacation.
|
|
|
0:07:05 – 0:07:10
had taken and then made a trial internship, where they then immediately
|
|
|
0:07:10 – 0:07:19
I really threw it in. Open the door, Sasha in, close the door. Of course there was a
|
|
|
0:07:19 – 0:07:25
Some things I had to overcome, but I really enjoyed it because these
|
|
|
0:07:25 – 0:07:33
Gratitude. Of course, there are also people who are very difficult in old age. But it has in
|
|
|
0:07:33 – 0:07:37
Overall, it really made me feel good. I thought, you know what,
|
|
|
0:07:37 – 0:07:45
You're going to make your old-age nurse. Then I stopped at just under 30, just before 30,
|
|
|
0:07:45 – 0:07:54
I made my old man's nurse. I also passed the exam. Then I stopped in various
|
|
|
0:07:54 – 0:08:00
Houses worked, also in my place of residence. I mean, I live at Dortmund or I used to live at
|
|
|
0:08:00 – 0:08:07
Dortmund is used to. I also worked in the same old home where my grandmother was.
|
|
|
0:08:07 – 0:08:17
I went there so I could visit them more often and I stopped. Well, then to my
|
|
|
0:08:17 – 0:08:26
Nearly 40. On my 39th birthday, my body gave me psoriasis. I found
|
|
|
0:08:26 – 0:08:34
Now really semi-optimal, because until then, except that I was a big, strong guy,
|
|
|
0:08:34 – 0:08:45
slightly overweight. It's easy. I mean at 1.85 meters, depending on when you're in the morning or in the evening
|
|
|
0:08:45 – 0:08:51
And 120 kilos you are overweight, but now not in an area where you would say,
|
|
|
0:08:51 – 0:09:00
This is dangerous. I have been training, especially back, musculature, legs,
|
|
|
0:09:00 – 0:09:09
that I have enough strength for the nursing activities. Definitely
|
|
|
0:09:09 – 0:09:17
Come back here. I got psoriasis and then my family doctor sent me to
|
|
|
0:09:17 – 0:09:26
Dermatologist and the said, "Your blood pressure medication you're getting is counterproductive, which
|
|
|
0:09:26 – 0:09:33
increases psoriasis. You should talk to your doctor about changing that.
|
|
|
0:09:33 – 0:09:42
will. Well, said done. I go to my family doctor and he's like, "Yes, we can't leave this out,
|
|
|
0:09:42 – 0:09:49
You know, family-related propensity to heart attack, stroke, and so on,
|
|
|
0:09:49 – 0:10:02
Family-related high blood pressure, we have to do something about it. You know what, you've got the last one today
|
|
|
0:10:02 – 0:10:09
on Friday she leaves, on Monday also, on Saturday also and on Sunday she starts with the
|
|
|
0:10:09 – 0:10:18
Re-introduction. I did this and on Saturday morning at 7 o'clock I get up, go to the toilet and notice
|
|
|
0:10:18 – 0:10:26
It's kind of funny, emotionally. And yes, then I went to the toilet,
|
|
|
0:10:26 – 0:10:35
Then I do my little business and cats sometimes have the habit of
|
|
|
0:10:35 – 0:10:43
That they just crawl next to your pants when you're sitting there. Yes, I said stop
|
|
|
0:10:43 – 0:10:50
To the fuchsia "You piss off, I want to get up now" and that sounded right
|
|
|
0:10:50 – 0:10:57
Strange. Then I got up and realized that everything felt even more funny. Then I am
|
|
|
0:10:57 – 0:11:05
I came back, almost stepped on Fuxi, then cursed loudly again, that sounded
|
|
|
0:11:05 – 0:11:11
Really washed up. Then I sat down on the edge of the pelvis, got my last cigarette
|
|
|
0:11:11 – 0:11:20
Turned on at some point, woke up my ex, said to her, "You, we can go to the hospital
|
|
|
0:11:20 – 0:11:25
I think I'm having a stroke right now," and she barely understood that. Yes, then has
|
|
|
0:11:25 – 0:11:31
She helped me quickly pack into a jogging suit and t-shirt. Then we are still with
|
|
|
0:11:31 – 0:11:38
Support from her down the stairs, off to the car, then we are the few kilometers to the hospital
|
|
|
0:11:38 – 0:11:54
I had taken aspirin before because it diluted the blood, and then introduced myself there.
|
|
|
0:11:54 – 0:12:04
Then it went very fast. So off to a tube, intensive care unit, transport to the next stroke unit.
|
|
|
0:12:04 – 0:12:13
This is such a kind of intermediate intensive care unit for people with a heart attack or even a stroke.
|
|
|
0:12:13 – 0:12:15
There you get a lure.
|
|
|
0:12:15 – 0:12:24
There you get strong blood-thinning drugs, which should dissolve the Grinsel, so that nothing dies off.
|
|
|
0:12:24 – 0:12:29
Neither on the heart muscle nor on the lungs, then it would be a pulmonary embolism.
|
|
|
0:12:29 – 0:12:33
Or stay in the brain.
|
|
|
0:12:33 – 0:12:37
Yes, I was just within the time window and then everything went quite well.
|
|
|
0:12:37 – 0:12:43
Then I spent five weeks on neurology in Recklinghausen,
|
|
|
0:12:43 – 0:12:51
Where I had to relearn everything. I had to relearn to speak, I had to sit, stand, walk,
|
|
|
0:12:51 – 0:12:58
Eating, swallowing, re-learning everything, because that was all no longer possible.
|
|
|
0:12:58 – 0:13:08
And then I was on a rehab for another three months, where I was further rehabilitated.
|
|
|
0:13:08 – 0:13:12
The advantage had been how I was these five weeks on neurology.
|
|
|
0:13:12 – 0:13:21
I had physio every day of the week, speech therapy, and that really saved my ass.
|
|
|
0:13:21 – 0:13:24
It really saved my ass.
|
|
|
0:13:24 – 0:13:27
I wouldn't be ready today if I hadn't.
|
|
|
0:13:27 – 0:13:43
Yes, get sick pay after that. At some point, the sick pay stops, then you can register Hartz IV
|
|
|
0:13:43 – 0:13:50
and in the meantime you keep running to doctors and then you have a bunch of paper
|
|
|
0:13:50 – 0:13:56
And that's when you get there and then there's an official medical examination and the
|
|
|
0:13:56 – 0:14:04
Then say to yourself, yes, you do, that with the work will be nothing more. Neither in the one
|
|
|
0:14:04 – 0:14:13
Job in the other job. Yeah, you have to take a deep breath. I mean, this financial
|
|
|
0:14:13 – 0:14:25
Descent that you go through, before permanent employment, part-time job, here and there again a bit
|
|
|
0:14:25 – 0:14:36
Well done and then sick pay, Hartz 4, that's where you swallow. You're on a level,
|
|
|
0:14:36 – 0:14:47
where you really get existential fears. Well, Shopcenter says retirement. All right, then you do
|
|
|
0:14:47 – 0:14:51
then go through the whole procedure and then you get your pension on time,
|
|
|
0:14:51 – 0:15:01
Temporary incapacity pension. It's always such a paint racket. In the meantime
|
|
|
0:15:01 – 0:15:08
If you have a severely disabled ID card, it will come back. Then you have
|
|
|
0:15:08 – 0:15:18
There's a G in it that you're severely disabled. Then you have 100% indefinitely, then know
|
|
|
0:15:18 – 0:15:29
Exactly. It's so hard to get these days. That's bad. Well, and then the
|
|
|
0:15:29 – 0:15:36
the pension is, after I was then once sent by the pension fund to the doctor,
|
|
|
0:15:36 – 0:15:45
also gone through. Then the job center says, well, we're no longer in charge,
|
|
|
0:15:45 – 0:15:52
You need to register for social assistance now. Then
|
|
|
0:15:52 – 0:15:56
And then you go there and then you go there.
|
|
|
0:15:56 – 0:15:59
Pension payment everything is running or something, are
|
|
|
0:15:59 – 0:16:02
You depend on that shit.
|
|
|
0:16:02 – 0:16:07
Thank goodness it is now that
|
|
|
0:16:07 – 0:16:10
training, working hours, which
|
|
|
0:16:10 – 0:16:15
Time at the DRC, the foreign assignments at the
|
|
|
0:16:10 – 0:16:18
DRC, I had been to Kosovo, I was in
|
|
|
0:16:18 – 0:16:21
other crisis areas in the world that
|
|
|
0:16:21 – 0:16:24
All of this is credited to me and
|
|
|
0:16:24 – 0:16:28
today an incapacity pension
|
|
|
0:16:28 – 0:16:34
It's a gift I can live well with. they
|
|
|
0:16:34 – 0:16:36
is not lush, no, but it brings
|
|
|
0:16:36 – 0:16:38
Make a living for me and I'm not up
|
|
|
0:16:36 – 0:16:44
I need some kind of transfer, which is nice. The road there is hard,
|
|
|
0:16:44 – 0:16:50
You have to admit that you are broken. And then we're at the point,
|
|
|
0:16:50 – 0:16:56
Where I thought, what are you doing now? 2016 was a stroke.
|
|
|
0:16:56 – 0:17:07
Until this was all over, we had 2017. In the meantime, my ex-girlfriend
|
|
|
0:17:07 – 0:17:14
Separated from me. I also believe simply because with all the changes and also with
|
|
|
0:17:14 – 0:17:21
I have not been able to cope with my extremely severe depressive phase. I have in the period
|
|
|
0:17:21 – 0:17:35
They eat me fat. I finally weighed 250 kilos and am now on a
|
|
|
0:17:35 – 0:17:45
Weight of 170 kilos. I still have a lot ahead of me, but that's just … I was so dissatisfied,
|
|
|
0:17:45 – 0:17:49
I was such a workaholic, I only lived for work.
|
|
|
0:17:49 – 0:17:59
I had an apartment that cost 200 euros cold, which I have never seen except for sleeping.
|
|
|
0:17:59 – 0:18:08
And if there were any activities, festivities in Castro Brauxe, then I slept with the DRC.
|
|
|
0:18:08 – 0:18:16
I lived in a super neighborhood. I had only judges ade, chief prosecutors ade,
|
|
|
0:18:16 – 0:18:28
Doctor Professor and what else was it? Policemen, so here high commissioner and so ade.
|
|
|
0:18:28 – 0:18:35
So there was …, which was a good residential area. But wait, an attic apartment,
|
|
|
0:18:35 – 0:18:43
directly under the roof. Super old building and super cheap, but beautifully cut and
|
|
|
0:18:43 – 0:18:51
super great layout with great facade, then these old doors, these high ones. The blankets were
|
|
|
0:18:51 – 0:18:57
the rooms were simply more comfortable from the heating costs, but I
|
|
|
0:18:57 – 0:19:02
I have hardly ever seen my apartment and have actually only in the kitchen and in the
|
|
|
0:19:02 – 0:19:08
Bedroom lived and had the living room as a representative space. He was always clean,
|
|
|
0:19:08 – 0:19:13
Always clean. The only thing I've ever done is dry laundry. Yes,
|
|
|
0:19:13 – 0:19:22
How did it go on then? 2018 is quite surprising, my father died, the stop
|
|
|
0:19:22 – 0:19:31
I had a great time at the time, because he did a lot for me. And I
|
|
|
0:19:31 – 0:19:37
I remember the last conversation with him who said he wasn't well and then
|
|
|
0:19:37 – 0:19:43
Call it, if there's anything, call me or call an ambulance, RTW.
|
|
|
0:19:43 – 0:19:49
Yeah, then I didn't hear from him for two days and then I called the police
|
|
|
0:19:49 – 0:19:53
I asked them if they couldn't even stop by.
|
|
|
0:19:53 – 0:19:55
And then he was dead.
|
|
|
0:19:55 – 0:20:01
At least when I saw him
|
|
|
0:20:01 – 0:20:05
The policeman came upstairs,
|
|
|
0:20:05 – 0:20:08
I knew what it was. It was also such a
|
|
|
0:20:08 – 0:20:11
Slap in the face. I then stopped
|
|
|
0:20:11 – 0:20:13
My mother called, my sister,
|
|
|
0:20:13 – 0:20:16
I said the notice. They were
|
|
|
0:20:16 – 0:20:18
Of course, everyone is shocked too. And even if
|
|
|
0:20:18 – 0:20:20
Have little before for a long time
|
|
|
0:20:20 – 0:20:22
I had contact, for reasons why.
|
|
|
0:20:22 – 0:20:22
always,
|
|
|
0:20:23 – 0:20:26
They were immediately there for each other.
|
|
|
0:20:26 – 0:20:31
I was still in need of care at the time and needed support without end.
|
|
|
0:20:31 – 0:20:38
Yes, now that was the case, I was bored.
|
|
|
0:20:38 – 0:20:42
I was so bored.
|
|
|
0:20:42 – 0:20:46
Of course not now that my father was dead and all this had to be organized,
|
|
|
0:20:46 – 0:20:50
But I was bored before that, I was bored after that.
|
|
|
0:20:50 – 0:20:56
Then I started studying again.
|
|
|
0:20:56 – 0:21:15
I had an agreement with the university in Bochum and could only make the most necessary appointments on site and did most of the stop at home.
|
|
|
0:21:15 – 0:21:29
Yes, and I studied religious studies, philosophy and ethics, later also psychology, I did my degrees there.
|
|
|
0:21:29 – 0:21:31
Which totally amazes me.
|
|
|
0:21:31 – 0:21:40
But still, I had something to tell the world and then, that was even a few days before my father died,
|
|
|
0:21:40 – 0:21:50
I founded the Lautfunk publication cartel, the website where the podcast runs and my blog articles.
|
|
|
0:21:50 – 0:21:59
And then I wrote the first article that my hero died.
|
|
|
0:21:59 – 0:22:02
That meant my father.
|
|
|
0:22:02 – 0:22:09
and had then also on YouTube, at that time I still made YouTube, had shared a video,
|
|
|
0:22:09 – 0:22:15
I told him in tears what it was like for my father to die.
|
|
|
0:22:15 – 0:22:27
I have always had a lot of me, of my emotional world in the content,
|
|
|
0:22:27 – 0:22:35
which I have made, and have made in addition to my socially critical contributions
|
|
|
0:22:35 – 0:22:39
Personal things are also posted time and time again, as is the story here.
|
|
|
0:22:39 – 0:22:47
And that's how the Lautfunk thing developed. I started sometime,
|
|
|
0:22:47 – 0:22:52
Take all the videos offline.
|
|
|
0:22:52 – 0:22:55
There were really a lot of them.
|
|
|
0:22:55 – 0:22:58
I sometimes do two pieces a week.
|
|
|
0:22:58 – 0:23:01
I mean by cell phone these days,
|
|
|
0:23:01 – 0:23:05
If he's in the parking lot and you're waiting, you can take a quick shot.
|
|
|
0:23:05 – 0:23:08
I keep having my thoughts
|
|
|
0:23:08 – 0:23:12
Put your opinion on the net.
|
|
|
0:23:12 – 0:23:16
It was 500 hours of videos.
|
|
|
0:23:16 – 0:23:24
Which I took offline. I've had the monetization for YouTube before,
|
|
|
0:23:24 – 0:23:32
Which I did afterwards. It was never something I valued.
|
|
|
0:23:32 – 0:23:37
I hadn't activated them properly yet, so I could have gotten them.
|
|
|
0:23:37 – 0:23:49
Yes, I've noticed that some content is just not the right one.
|
|
|
0:23:49 – 0:23:58
Before the sound radio I already had one, that was the atomic biotope and the
|
|
|
0:23:58 – 0:24:07
Fellmensch blog, where I once did socially critical things and
|
|
|
0:24:07 – 0:24:14
It's private stuff on the Fellmensch blog. Sometimes the topics were superimposed.
|
|
|
0:24:14 – 0:24:21
But these were all things that I stopped, as I was still working,
|
|
|
0:24:21 – 0:24:30
a valuable member of society and so much of what I've been told by society
|
|
|
0:24:30 – 0:24:36
He also gave back, gave back. In the care of the elderly or also in civil protection
|
|
|
0:24:36 – 0:24:48
at the DRC. I still remember the great events in the paramedic on Mayday, at the cycling race in
|
|
|
0:24:48 – 0:25:01
Dortmund or in Kastrop. VW Forum, every year hammergeile thing. All the exercises in the frame
|
|
|
0:25:01 – 0:25:07
civil protection, preparation for operations abroad. It was so great and
|
|
|
0:25:07 – 0:25:14
as much as I could give back, because I was allowed to have a good
|
|
|
0:25:14 – 0:25:18
Go to school even though I
|
|
|
0:25:18 – 0:25:22
I'm a teacher and there's my
|
|
|
0:25:22 – 0:25:25
I have problems with reading and writing,
|
|
|
0:25:25 – 0:25:27
to support me in such a way that
|
|
|
0:25:27 – 0:25:29
I was able to finish high school and stop
|
|
|
0:25:29 – 0:25:31
Studying that I have a
|
|
|
0:25:31 – 0:25:34
Vocational training that could stop
|
|
|
0:25:34 – 0:25:37
financed my studies,
|
|
|
0:25:37 – 0:25:39
later still out of sheer boredom
|
|
|
0:25:39 – 0:25:41
I was able to continue studying so that I could
|
|
|
0:25:41 – 0:25:43
There was a need, somehow.
|
|
|
0:25:41 – 0:25:47
to give something back, except to give a little bit of my opinion to the camera,
|
|
|
0:25:47 – 0:25:59
I started the project with the podcast and the blog. And that was
|
|
|
0:25:59 – 0:26:07
It's really a big trip, a big change, and I'm still a long way from it.
|
|
|
0:26:07 – 0:26:09
I can say I'm at the level I want to be.
|
|
|
0:26:09 – 0:26:12
I've written somewhere in the comments,
|
|
|
0:26:12 – 0:26:15
I have partial facial paralysis
|
|
|
0:26:15 – 0:26:16
and that I will stop
|
|
|
0:26:16 – 0:26:20
Speaking blurred or not,
|
|
|
0:26:20 – 0:26:22
It almost sounds like Lispeln.
|
|
|
0:26:22 – 0:26:26
This is sometimes the case with rectal digital recordings.
|
|
|
0:26:26 – 0:26:29
And in the production environment
|
|
|
0:26:29 – 0:26:33
Is that something else, too,
|
|
|
0:26:33 – 0:26:35
What comes out louder,
|
|
|
0:26:35 – 0:26:42
because with compressors and audio editing. Why am I so good at all this audio stuff?
|
|
|
0:26:42 – 0:26:50
Well, I was at a free Waldorf school. I can dance my name. Among other things:
|
|
|
0:26:50 – 0:26:53
We also had instruments. I can play a flute, I can play a flute,
|
|
|
0:26:53 – 0:27:00
What is the name of the great flute? Now my word-finding disorder comes to my senses. Tenor
|
|
|
0:27:00 – 0:27:07
Playing the recorder. This is a recorder that's about two and a half times the size of a recorder.
|
|
|
0:27:07 – 0:27:13
normal. I can play Shallow. If you can play the flute, these are the same
|
|
|
0:27:13 – 0:27:23
Handles like saxophone, oboe or clarinet. Yes, I could play anything if
|
|
|
0:27:23 – 0:27:33
I could take that tile in my mouth. These instruments have a bamboo plate,
|
|
|
0:27:33 – 0:27:40
What you have to do wet and then has in your mouth and then this slightly vibrating tone is created. Can
|
|
|
0:27:40 – 0:27:46
I don't have it, because now I get goosebumps when I think that I'm doing this in
|
|
|
0:27:46 – 0:27:52
I have a mouth. It's the same with the oboe, but it's all a little bit smaller and that's it.
|
|
|
0:27:52 – 0:27:58
It's like a straw you have to put in there. I've definitely learned to appreciate music.
|
|
|
0:27:58 – 0:28:06
and I just started making electronic music because classical music is good and
|
|
|
0:28:06 – 0:28:14
nice, but I somehow found four-quarter beat and four to the floor arounds, arounds, arounds somehow horny
|
|
|
0:28:14 – 0:28:22
I worked on it, and since I was already a computer nerd at that time,
|
|
|
0:28:22 – 0:28:31
12 rebuilt his C64 and at 14 had his first real PC. Yes,
|
|
|
0:28:31 – 0:28:40
Then the thing has grown. I've grown up with it, sound cards, always something
|
|
|
0:28:40 – 0:28:47
made. I've been working on music and I've got my keyboard.
|
|
|
0:28:47 – 0:28:54
and the expansion device, the expander, connected to the computer and could then stop their
|
|
|
0:28:54 – 0:29:03
Make clothes. And then it just kept growing, so I stopped at Langdreher station
|
|
|
0:29:03 – 0:29:12
Later he even had live performances as a live act. I had several articles in different music newspapers.
|
|
|
0:29:12 – 0:29:22
newspapers. I have published music in the Sequencer, so in the Synthesizer Magazine,
|
|
|
0:29:22 – 0:29:29
This is called the Synthesizer, and the forum is called the Sequencer Forum. There
|
|
|
0:29:29 – 0:29:36
I was on the first few CDs from the magazine. I stopped later under
|
|
|
0:29:36 – 0:29:44
Space wave stops on Spotify and everywhere you can listen to music, releases made.
|
|
|
0:29:44 – 0:29:50
Mostly very experimental stuff, because the things of that time were very
|
|
|
0:29:50 – 0:29:59
Techno-id, I have to say. Later, my sound had shifted from such a real,
|
|
|
0:29:59 – 0:30:07
stomping techno to trance and then to progressive and trance and ambient and psytrance,
|
|
|
0:30:07 – 0:30:16
Which I still find totally cool today. Yes, and that's why I can edit audio and know
|
|
|
0:30:16 – 0:30:20
how to use microphone and compressor and equalizer and how to, what all this is,
|
|
|
0:30:20 – 0:30:30
He has and can deal with a DRW and has continued to use it. I mean,
|
|
|
0:30:30 – 0:30:34
I had a microphone there, I had everything there and I thought, well, then you make one
|
|
|
0:30:34 – 0:30:40
Podcast. And set up a server and put the necessary software on the server,
|
|
|
0:30:40 – 0:30:46
So that it's available on the Internet, yes, you've learned that. And that's what you used to have
|
|
|
0:30:46 – 0:30:50
professionally made. So much hasn't changed. Linux is Linux. The orders are
|
|
|
0:30:50 – 0:30:59
the same ones. Yeah, and that's how I did it. The only difference was that at the time I could
|
|
|
0:30:59 – 0:31:06
finance everything without problems. Today it is so, yes, I can finance it, but it is
|
|
|
0:31:06 – 0:31:15
difficult. And so there is the possibility of direct support that you can use PayPal
|
|
|
0:31:15 – 0:31:27
Sending money. This goes to a special account, where the debits are for the server costs,
|
|
|
0:31:27 – 0:31:34
for the Content Delivery Network, because the page has two pieces, once for images, once for the
|
|
|
0:31:34 – 0:31:42
Audio files and now and then you have to buy or renew software licenses. Or
|
|
|
0:31:42 – 0:31:51
You can also, the other form is just about affiliate links that you can find on the partner sites.
|
|
|
0:31:51 – 0:32:01
buy something with the link that I provide there and that costs a nothing, because the things are
|
|
|
0:32:01 – 0:32:07
then just as expensive as before, only I get a small commission, which then also everything
|
|
|
0:32:07 – 0:32:16
Go to that account to pay for the service. This is the domain,
|
|
|
0:32:16 – 0:32:22
this is the server, these are the content delivery networks and just missing software license.
|
|
|
0:32:22 – 0:32:33
Yes, as I said, it's a time job because if I didn't do anything, I would
|
|
|
0:32:33 – 0:32:40
Going crazy. I'm a total head person. I used to either work with my head,
|
|
|
0:32:40 – 0:32:46
I said yes, I have studied mathematics and computer science, I have only with my head
|
|
|
0:32:46 – 0:32:56
worked. I then later worked physically in nursing, but also had to
|
|
|
0:32:56 – 0:33:04
to be empathetic. Before that, as an electrical installer, I moved huge copper plates for the control cabinets.
|
|
|
0:33:04 – 0:33:10
That was physical and head work, because you always have to be careful what you do. In front of all
|
|
|
0:33:10 – 0:33:18
Things, if you obscure the things, twist the components together, the wiring
|
|
|
0:33:18 – 0:33:26
You always have to be wide awake and on point. Yes, I've always done something,
|
|
|
0:33:26 – 0:33:32
what demands me and then you sit there and have a lot of free time and then you started
|
|
|
0:33:32 – 0:33:45
Stop doing what you do best. And that's thinking, talking, and all the creative stuff about it.
|
|
|
0:33:45 – 0:33:59
Yeah, now you know who I am. I am a middle-aged man, I am severely disabled,
|
|
|
0:33:59 – 0:34:11
Get a pension and try to talk people into thinking with what I'm doing here.
|
|
|
0:34:11 – 0:34:21
I hope I succeed and I can help people with my blog posts, with my podcast.
|
|
|
0:34:21 – 0:34:28
Give something back to society because I've been given so much.
|
|
|
0:34:28 – 0:34:34
Yes, maybe I'll record another episode of the days,
|
|
|
0:34:34 – 0:34:44
an eye, no, no eye update, a leg update, so you know how my leg is doing,
|
|
|
0:34:44 – 0:34:53
They are an eternal fountain of water. Well, it's not water, it's lymphatic fluid,
|
|
|
0:34:53 – 0:35:01
Most people say water in their legs. Jo, I'll say thank you,
|
|
|
0:35:01 – 0:35:07
I'm glad you've been there so far and I'm looking forward to seeing you next time.
|
|
|
0:35:07 – 0:35:12
Maybe you have buck to comment, to like and so on and maybe also
|
|
|
0:35:12 – 0:35:17
Try one of the affiliate links here and there.
|
|
|
0:35:17 – 0:35:21
Yes, that would really help this project.
|
|
|
0:35:21 – 0:35:25
Well, my God, it always feels like Battle.
|
|
|
0:35:25 – 0:35:27
I just can't do that, it's terrible.
|
|
|
0:35:27 – 0:35:32
All right, bye, Sasha.

Sascha Markmann is a creative mind with a moving biography – and a person who has rediscovered life after a stroke. After working as a paramedic and elderly caregiver, Sascha found his way into creative expression. As a blogger, podcaster, musician and visual storyteller, he brings together things that just don't fit at first glance: He combines his keen enthusiasm for technology – from self-hosted servers to electronic music production – with emotional depth and an oblique sense of humor. His contributions are somewhere between borderline, acid basslines and assistance – honestly, directly and with a wink. Guiding principle: “Audio-visual dullness with no usefulness – but perhaps that's why it's so valuable.” View all posts by Sascha Markmann
