I wanted to do another talk, but Hacker Hotel decided to sell branded bomber jacks, which forced my hand as this conference then also needs the talk that goes along with those jackets. During the talk we'll listen to the evolution of a genre using samples and watch some video clips. The talk will provide background about the scene: from art to cheese. There will also be some tech about "how it's made", but mostly pointers. This talk is TOTALLY NOT INTENDED AS a gateway into a permanent desire to listen to distorted and grainy audio.

This talk mostly focusing on fun and interesting stuff, but due to the inherent nature of hardcore music there might (=guarantee) be references to sex, drugs, violence, profanity, recklessness and spooky scary skeletons in the first ten seconds. This talk is not for all ages and minds.

So there you have it: licensing AND content AND audience problems galore in just one submission! This is finally giving the hacker hotel producers the missing challenge that they have been searching for all these years.

PS1: If you like this talk in advance, please get in touch if you'd like to add or validate things: it's pretty hard it compress 33.333 years into an hour. PS2: Maybe we'll also do the accompanying dance afterwards, who knows, i'm not really good at it but i know some of you are.
