Götz-Christian Morgenstern

Profile:

Christian Morgenstern was born on the 10th of November 1975 in Düsseldorf, Germany.
Being interested in technical issues since he was a child, he bought his first Commodore Amiga when he was 15 and started interesting in graphics. Together with a classmate he founded a graphic-duo and pixelled the artwork for early computer-animated movies.
By 1994 Christian also started making music with the Amiga and produced Synthie-Pop and C-64 like tunes, only using Amiga internal samples and music capabilities (a track from that period can be heard on “Night Of The Living Death”).
In 1995 he had his first contact with synthesizers, when Elef Tsiroudis (now owner of Shokoy Records) called him and told him about a Yamaha SY85 he bought and about his plans to produce electronic music. So Christian also bought some equipment (after he worked at the local steel-melting factory) and travalled to Stuttgart. About six months later they released their first (and last) single on their own label “? Records” as Human Target. 1996 the team split, Christian bought a sample and started producing on his own. He released his first single on Important Extracts entitled “… Minus 38 And Counting…”, met Heiko Laux and gave him a demo tape containing the tracks of the “Miscellaneous EP”, that was released a month later on Kanzleramt Records.
In October 96 Christian started working at a computer-animation studio for several months, and created two experimental music clips for his tracks. 1997 he moves to Cologne and starts studying at the Academy of Media Arts. Further releases on Kanzleramt. Besides producing records for labels like Kurbel, Konsquent and Creation Rebel, Christian gave birth to his own outlet Forte Records in 1999.
Where as Christian used to produce his first releases only using an Amiga, a sampler, a mixing desk and an effects unit, he turned into a true gearhead, mainly using vintage equipment and tube amplifiers from the 70’s and early 80’s. He developed his own, unique style and with the release of “Death Before Disko” in 1999, he proved once againt, that he was one of the most versatile Techno musicians. Along with “Death Before Disko” Christian produced his first experimental short movie entitled “M.I.L.K.” as part of his pre-exams. Followed by this is the super-moody album “The Lydia EP”, released end of 1999, which is played by Djs throughout the world. After a little production break, Christian released his highly acclaimed Electro-Pop album “Hawaii Blue” in early 2001. This production is highly influenced by his undeniable affection for 80’s Pop and Rock music and can be seen as a further step in his development from a Techno artist to a musician. As already suggested in previous works, with “Hawaii Blue”, he nearly totally refused to accept the club-compatibility dogma, and mixes Pop tunes with listening tracks and retro-ballads.
End of 2001 Christian cancels his studies to concentrate on Forte Records and making music.
Christian Morgenstern died on June 19th 2003 in his apartment in Cologne at the age of just 27. After skating with friends he went home because he felt pain in his chest. No one could reach him for a few days and finally a friend found him dead in his apartment. Christian was working night and day on his new album at the time.

The Roots Bloody Roots of Erik Rutan from Hate Eternal!

August 16th, 2011 4 comments

This past weekend we had the privilege of seeing Hate Eternal perform live and loud at Santos Party House, alongside Origin, Vital Remains and Abysmal Dawn! Prior to the show we interviewed Erik Rutan about his extensive career as a Death Metal musician and as a Heavy Music producer. While we had always heard great things about Rutan, it was refreshing to find out that he is one of the most humble and professional Death Metal musicians out there. During the interview we discussed Hate Eternal’s newest album “Phoenix Amongst the Ashes”, as well as his work with other bands like Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, Nile, Agnostic Front and Madball, just to name a few.

During the conversation we also discussed how Rutan was transplanted from New Jersey into Florida, in order to establish himself as a big player within the Death Metal scene. Buckle up and enjoy this exclusive interview which features live footage of Hate Eternal as well as some badass pictures! ENJOY! \m/

Supreme Court Death Sentence on Alaskan Lake

August 16th, 2011 1 comment

In a 6-3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has given Lower Slate Lake in the Tongass National Forest of Alaska, a death sentence. The ruling overturns a 9th District Court decision that revoked the permit issued by the Army Corps of Engineers that allowed Coeur Alaska’s Kensington gold mine to dump its mine tailings directly into the lake, killing all aquatic life in it. The Clean Water Act clearly states that you can’t dump mine waste into a water body, but the Corp of Engineers cleverly changed the name “waste” to “fill” and permitted the action, essentially killing the lake. I find this decision appalling and in defiance of logic. Where is the justice in a decision like this. Are the 370 well paying jobs that this mining operation is creating worth the environmental destruction that it creates? I don’t think so.

Marriage records in Michigan.?

August 15th, 2011 5 comments

So I located the marriage record on-line for my great grandparents,born in the mid 1800s.The information about their parents names and where they came from,wasn`t there.So, I need to either travel to the town where the record is,or send them $15.00 by mail.Will I get a copy of the actual record?I need brakes on my car and with gas prices so high,I thought I would write for it,but then I worry,I will get the wrong record,or the information I need won`t be there.Mich has not released all the death records and a person has to be dead for 150 years before you can obtain a birth certificate.Anyone that has been dead that long,likely was not even born here.The reason I couldn`t find it before,my great grandmother`s last name was misspelled on-line,but not on the actual record.I have gotten more information from family search,than my worthless ancestry.com subscription.
You were all very helpfull.Hard to pick a best answer.

Having read your other question, I’m going to answer parts of both in one place.

I have pretty good experience with Michigan marriage records. First, you need to know that there are different types of "marriage records". This is a generic term for anything that documents a marriage, whether it be a marriage license or certificate issued to the couple, a return book, record book, marriage bond, or register book. Each of these will have different information about the couple. In Michigan each county determines what records they keep and what information will be on them. Some counties have made frequent changes. If you get information from the record about the parents is hit and miss. In Michigan they often have place of residence, but usually do not have place of birth or places associated with the parents.

Since you are looking for a copy, I suspect you have not located the record online, but rather an index or transcription of the record. This source should give you the precise information you need to find the copy they indexed or transcribed from. If it was from Family Search you might be able to take the source code information to a Family History Center and request the microfilm. If it’s from a published genealogy book you can sometimes request an inter-library loan from your local branch library, request a photocopy of the page of interest, or check Google Books.

A few tips about ordering records from public agencies: they will not do research and they will not guess, no matter how logical or obvious. They will look for exactly what you ask them to look for. If the date range you ask for is 1 day off, if a name is spelled 1 letter off, or if your information gives them more than 1 possible record you may get a note back saying the record could not be found. This is why the indexes online are helpful. They *should* be exactly as they appear in the record. In both cases this requires that someone is able to read the handwritten record (i.e. Elmira and Elvira can get confused). When you send away to the agency they will either photocopy the information from their books, or they will transfer the information to a form and this form is considered a copy (although not always certified).

GenWebs do not provide records, they provide a place where people can post information and links to helpful resources. What the GenWeb itself provides is free, but not all of the resources they list will be.

When someone dies in unknown Hospice Care Center..where do they take the Body? How can I find out ?

August 15th, 2011 1 comment

I’ll try to keep this as consise as humanely possible:

Great Aunt Dies. (mid 80s, Alzheimers. Within last 3 days).

Her "next of kin" is terminally ill & in Care Facility. Can not be reached. Has no info anyway. Not coherant.

Great Aunt had been removed from her original Hospice Care to ANOTHER Hospice Care Facility that is UNKNOWN. Both unknown.

Aunt passes away.

Someone (unknown) phoned adult relative who had a brain aneurysm (6 yrs ago) and is = to a young child, to give details. All she remembers is they said Auntiie Gwennie died. She did not write down what was said. Caller i.d. says RESTRICTED.

The only other "next of kin" is a relative who’s recovering from brain surgery. (I only WISH I was trolling, kidding, or lying). She doesn’t know anything and is in NYC.

No, there is no foul play suspected.

I don’t know how this process works. There is no one (able enough) to ASK. I have no idea about any last directives, or her wishes. She wasn’t capable of complex thought for years. I don’t know if they pronounce someone dead at Hospice, or they send them to Hospital, or the Morgue, or what. I don’t know where (her body) she is. I’ve been searching, on-line, to get a list of possible Hospice Care Centers, Morgues, Mortuaries..even Arizona newspaper obits.. but I can’t get any info. I understand medical and death records are private, but if the "next of kin" are not capable, then I have to find her and make arrangements. There’s no one else.

I do not have her Social Security Number. No one does.

>>>QUESTION:
When one passes at unknown facility..
WHERE ARE THEY TAKEN? WHAT HAPPENS TO THE BODY?
Hospital? Morgue? Coronor? Do any of the above RECORD this anywhere? She lived in Arizona. I live in California.

Getting panicky.

Is there a web-site, or Hospice Care Directory..
I could go to/phone to take care of her body?

<>
My Q&As repeat themselves lately and I don’t know why. Yahoo techs haven’t told me why it’s doing this. Sorry. I know it’s obnoxious, but I can’t make it stop.
<>

Here in Illinois a body is stored at the Morgue until the funeral home comes out to get the person if the death occurs in the hospital. At least here. In order for you to be in a hospice program that has to be already arranged. You might try consulting the first hospice location to see if they can direct you to the other. Another try is I am sure a death has to be reported to the coroner either way.

Santa Monica Auto Accident Attorney’s Top Ten Causes of Car Accidents

August 10th, 2011 No comments

1) Changing Radio Stations – Sure we agree it’s necessary when a radio station decides to play the same song you’ve heard a thousand times before and really didn’t care for it the first time you heard it. But wait until it’s safe to make the change.

 

2) Running out of gas, water, oil, washer fluid, coffee… Sure we know that it’s expensive to have these things, but cars and drivers don’t run very well without them.

 

3) Mattresses On The Road – Just who is dropping those mattresses all over the freeways anyway?

 

4) Pot Holes – It’s the people who cause these things and then don’t cover them up like their golf course divots. Still, they can be a real eye opener at times when you are sleepy, so we have to give them a little credit too. Not good for the car or the psyche, but they do cause people to slow down.

 

5) Speed Bumps – Now these are going too far. Especially the really really high ones.

 

6) Snow – We don’t see much of this in Southern California, but if it ever does snow really hard in Southern California, people are going to see thousands of accidents in a single day.

 

7) Rain – Sure we know it’s fun to slip and slide, but not in your car. Hydroplaning is not fun when your brakes have absolutely zero effect.

 

8) Cell phones – Somehow I don’t have the feeling that people are paying attention to the law that says you can only use these with hands free devices.

 

9) Personal Grooming – This hasn’t been outlawed yet so I think we will continue to see people doing almost all of the things in their car that they should do at home before getting in the car, except perhaps for taking showers.

 

10) Looking at pedestrians and other drivers. That’s why we see so much tinted glass on cars, but the pedestrians especially at the beach can be real distractions.

 

Here are ten useful tips of advice from an auto accident lawyer to follow if you have been in an accident. You can also learn more about how to handle an auto accident in Santa Monica, or any city, by calling the Law Offices of R. Sebastian Gibson at any of the numbers which can be found on our website at http://www.SebastianGibsonLaw.com  and learning how we can assist you.

 

Obviously, if you have had an accident, and you are reading all of this advice, it may have been a few hours since the accident. However, if you ever have another accident, or if it’s only been a few hours since you were hurt, here’s what you should do from the start.

 

First, take a look around and determine if you or anyone, are hurt. If so, taking steps like trying to prevent further injury or loss of blood are the most important thing you can do. Even if some other driver caused you to be injured, it’s just good manners to help the other driver if they are hurt. They may even be so thankful that they admit their fault to you. The worst thing you can do is get angry or start a fight.

 

Second, make sure everyone is safe from being injured further. If you are in the middle of traffic, and you are dizzy, sit down away from traffic. If your vehicle is a traffic hazard and you have accident warning devices like flares or triangles, put them out on the road to warn other drivers and get away from the car. Let the police an other emergency personnel investigate the scene with the vehicles in place and move them more safely at a later point.

 

Third, call the police. Accident reports are extremely helpful if the police will do such a report. Let the police know you are injured immediately. Answer the police questions honestly. But if you are dazed or confused, let them know you need medical treatment and answer only what you feel sure about. Remember, your statements can and will be used against you if you admit fault, and it will be too late and too fishy to later say you didn’t know what you were saying at the scene. Police know that your best recollection is immediately after an accident.

 

Fourth, get the other driver’s information including their names, addresses, driver’s license numbers, make and model of their vehicles, license plate numbers, and their insurance company name and policy number. If there are witnesses, get their names, addresses and telephone numbers as well. If the other driver makes any admissions of fault, write those down as well.

 

Fifth, if you have a camera on your cell phone or in the car and you aren’t too injured, take some photos of the vehicles and the scene. If you can’t do it right away, do it after you are released from the hospital.

Sixth, if you are hurt, obtain medical treatment. Don’t decline the ambulance or hospital examination to save your insurance company money or to be stoic. Take your valuables out of your car if you can and get checked out at the hospital. If you are not hurt, don’t get treatment you don’t need. However, remember, after an accident, you may feel a rush of adrenaline that causes you to only start feeling symptoms of pain a few hours later. If you have a health plan that requires you to obtain permission first, call them and find out where you are allowed to seek treatment.

 

Seventh, call a good auto accident attorney as soon as you have had your initial treatment, so the lawyer can gather other important evidence and prevent the insurance company from taking advantage of you and obtaining such things as recorded statements that you feel fine, when many of your symptoms have yet to manifest themselves. A good auto accident attorney can save you from making a great deal of mistakes and can shoulder much of the hassle of knowing what to do about car repairs, car rentals, medical treatment, witness statements and the like. If you think you will save money by not having an attorney, think again. A good auto accident lawyer can almost always obtain much higher settlements, obtain reductions of medical bills and insurance liens and prevent you from making costly mistakes. Also, most auto accident lawyers advance costs of obtaining police reports, medical records and the like and are paid and reimbursed for these costs only out of any settlement.

 

Eight, you will need to report the accident to your insurance company, but since they will want to take a recorded statement from you, just like any other driver’s insurance company, it’s good advice to retain an attorney first. And if the other driver did not have insurance, remember that it is your own insurance company that will be your adversary. You will also need to report the accident to the Department of Motor Vehicles and your lawyer can give you the form for this.

 

Ninth, do not agree to settle your claim privately with the person at fault for the accident. This almost never works out to your advantage. Don’t agree not to call the police. Police reports that determine the fault for an accident are golden. Your agreement to not involve the police only affords an opportunity for the other driver to change his story and blame you when the police will no longer investigate the accident.

 

Tenth, don’t pay a traffic ticket without a fight if you weren’t at fault or agree to accept a small payment for your vehicle repairs without knowing that the amount will in fact cover the cost of all the repairs.

 

If you’ve had an auto accident in Santa Monica, Long Beach, Carson, Torrance, Manhattan Beach, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Oxnard, Cambria or San Luis Obispo, or anywhere in Southern California, we have the knowledge and resources to be your Santa Monica Auto Accident Lawyer and your Long Beach Auto Accident Attorney. Be sure to hire a California law firm with auto, motorcycle, truck, bicycle, pedestrian, car, bus, train, boat and airplane accident experience, wrongful death experience and insurance law expertise who can ensure you are properly represented and get the compensation you deserve.

 

If you have a personal injury legal matter, a dog bite or if you’ve lost a loved one in a wrongful death accident, call the Law Offices of R. Sebastian Gibson, or visit our website at http://www.SebastianGibsonLaw.com  and learn how we can assist you.
