[microsound] OT - Otl Aicher

[scott allison <lipistal3@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

hello microsound.

I got to see a nice exhibit of posters by Otl Aicher last night at the Gothe 
Institutie in Washington DC, the posters where from the 1972 olympics in 
germany, very impressive work to see, yes indeed. Stunning color palatte and 
even more mind numbbing to think of building those works in a pre-digital 
era, the texture in those posters up close is so amazing, reminds me of what 
I look for when listening/making my textural form of lowerbrow-microsound 
music.

Anyhow, not everyone will care about this post, but thought some of you 
might, even though you might not be in the DC area, Aicher's work is worth 
investigating, his influence is very strong in todays world, the guy is 
credited with inventing pictograms.
