Florian also gives us some excellent links to Austrian sites, as well as beautiful Real Audio sounds of the area. (Lesen sie Florians Kolumne ab sofort auch in Deutsch: Einblicke aus Österreich.)

MIDI master turns talents to RA
One of my favorite sites in Vienna is Maurice Biron's. This link demonstrates one of the reasons why. A master of MIDI composing, he has now directed his abilities to Real Audio. The selections you can play from the above link were built in his mini-studio using a MIDI piano, computer, Proteus sound modules, DP/2 effects machine, microphone, Mackie mixer, sound system and headphones (for late-night work). He has promised to write more about his methods for next month's edition. In the meantime, pay him a visit and listen to some really striking music.
