# moving to Frankfurt
# moving into cyberspace with the WELL
# STR beta-testing Frankfurt as the new "Heimat", (hot schedule: move 11.1., performance 13.1., gulf war 16.1.:// moving just a few days before the gulf war meant the last chance to bring computers across borders).
# STR moving into Cyberspace, finding the other new heimat online at The WELL.
# STR is a small studio/home in the centre of Frankfurt, continually upgrading.
# STR is music/clubbing/dancing/club-hit production.
# STR experiencing the next STR-step/ techno-, live-, realtime-, online ecstasy.
# STR in dino-fever (2 years before Spielberg).
# STR the vision was already there in Vienna, the realisation happened in Frankfurt, basically in the techno scene.
# STR keeps contact with Austria through a research contract.
# STR is a multimedia band, communicating in realtime from music computer to grafix computer, this way testing flexible forms of the STR-matrix in gunafa clubbing.
# STR going to California once more, staying at Timothy Leary´s house in Beverly Hills.
# STR producing CD ROM Nr. 1.
# STR experiencing euphoria/explosion in the techno- and cyberscene, feeling respected after those hard years of theory.
# STR publishing/producing/researching/going online/playing live-> all this on 2 "cheap" machines: the Commodore amiga and the Atari.
# STR from outside (the shop in Vienna) --> to the new home/inside the studio --> to outside (clubbing and exhibitions) --> to dislocated (Cyberspace).
