https://makertube.net/videos/watch/2ea2b016-9990-413e-9f2c-ceb960ad6d4c Late in 2007 I wanted to ask a person a question about some information on his website that I only knew from his website. I then learned, that this person had died already in 2004... This video is an answer to the impact that this - completely unexpected - reply had on me. The text below was initially meant to become a song, now it is a poem that is framed by the video; the video was filmed in january 2008 in Miami (South Beach). The soundtrack is made with three different theremin-voices (Etherwave Pro Theremin), one is the original voice with a little reverb added, the other two are different voices that have additionally been modified with the Trash-plugin. The underlying drumline imitates a heartbeat (hopefully ;o). Memory for a dead stranger I encountered death today from far away he came and inexpectedly he'd say the person you are calling left the game I hadn't known you after all so, why should I care if you'd return my call then, it hit me in a sudden strike that you and me, we were alike You had ideas, feelings and perception You followed dreams, you made things happen You cruised through life, left traces You are still here -- in many places I met you in those places first browsing through the web for inspiration You had anticipated such a thirst and spoke from your site 'sans' hesitation I sent a mail to ask a question and instantly received the answer 'Mailbox deleted' -- complete erasion and so I learned you died of cancer Tue, 30 Jun 2026 16:36:15 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://tube.fediverse.games https://tube.fediverse.games/lazy-static/avatars/e8541362-4375-47c4-a662-8276e08f4bf3.png https://makertube.net/videos/watch/2ea2b016-9990-413e-9f2c-ceb960ad6d4c All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://tube.fediverse.games/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
