Introduction To The World Of Sarband
Endeavours to show connections between european, Islamic and Jewish musicculture Includes group information, discography, calendar.
http://www.sarband.de/english_introduction.html

Extractions: The group's name SARBAND stems from Persian and Arabic, and denotes to an improvised coupling of two parts within a musical suite. Vladimir Ivanoff founded Ensemble SARBAND in 1986 and has been pursuing an archaeology of complex connections ever since: Above all, SARBAND endeavours to show all possible connections between European music, Islamic and Jewish music-culture. Both sensitively and intensely SARBAND celebrates the symbiotic relationship between the Orient and the Occident. The continuous musical collaboration within the Ensemble ensures that a dialogue on equal terms is maintained. It is the exchange of practical musical experience between musicians from different cultures that make the performances of SARBAND gripping, lively and utmost authentic. SARBAND'S unique repertoire has won them wide acclaim internationally. Over the past few years SARBAND has recorded numerous CDs and performed at many international festivals; mentioning only a few: SARBAND'S musicians do not see their work as something sporadic but as a part of being and living. Just as religious, economic, cultural and political differences between the Orient and the Occident play a predominant role in today's society, SARBAND'S music endeavours to show that music has always served as communication in which people found reciprocal respect for each other and could easily contribute in the process of relating in the same way today. Uniting people around the world, offering mutual recognition towards each other, in other words: music as an example for peace.

Kurgan Culture
Detailed description of the archaeological findings associated with the Kurgan culture , a 5th3th millennium BC civilization north of the Black Sea, whose inhabitants are widely thought to have been the speakers of Proto-Indo-european (PIE). Includes a partial reconstructed PIE word list.
http://www.iras.ucalgary.ca/~volk/sylvia/Kurgans.htm

Extractions: The Kurgan people were an Indo-European culture existing during the fifth, fourth, and third millennia BC; they lived in northern Europe, from Russia across Germany, and various authorities have mounted a case for them being THE proto-Indo-European culture, from which all Indo-European cultures descend. Other researchers think it likely that later-day Kurgans were the "Sea People" who laid waste to the Holy Land around 1200 BC - traveling south along the Mediterranean in ships, with their women following them in wagons along the shore. The word kurgan means barrow or grave in Slavic and Turkic; Kurgan culture is characterized by pit-graves or barrows, a particular method of burial. They are also called the Pit-grave people, or Barrow people. The earliest Kurgan sites are in the Ukraine and southern Russia, from which they spread by about 2000 BC to Europe, crossing the Dnieper River. Wherever Kurgan culture spread, it was marked by common elements unlike those of the surrounding Bronze-Age cultures. These are the characteristics of the Kurgan people: They practiced animal husbandry; in rubbish dumps at Kurgan hill-forts and villages are found the bones of lots and lots of horses, many cattle, and a few pigs, sheep and goats. Few bones of wild game (such as deer) were found, so Kurgans were not a hunting culture. Horse-heads carved in diorite were found, with harness-marks cut into them to indicate bridles.

EUROPEAN CULTURAL BACKBONE
european CULTURAL BACKBONE DOCUMENTS european Cultural Backbone (ECB) calls for BottomUp ICT Policy Press Release, Vienna/Brussels, 17.07.2000
http://www.e-c-b.net/ecb/about/articles/992928015

Extractions: The European Cultural Backbone (ECB) recently met in Brussels to consolidate its input into the cultural and social dimensions of the Information Society. In doing so the ECB challenges the European Union to include these issues in its priorities for programmes such as the eEurope initiative launched at the European Union Lisbon Summit in March 2000. European Union rhetoric, which stresses the socially positive potential of media, is increasingly used as a veil for campaigns geared towards passive media consumption. The EU has so far not found structures to accommodate the existing creative community of small-scale, dynamic and inventive initiatives. The prevalent short-term economic logic is unlikely to guarantee long-term sustainability of diverse cultural practice. A balanced information environment needs to strengthen the emancipatory use of Information Technologies by European citizens. The European Cultural Backbone insists that the significance and the social value of the work being done by cultural organisations working with new media must be recognised by cultural, media and technology policy, both at national and international levels. The work of the European Cultural Backbone is explicitly geared not towards private and commercial interests, but aims to foster creative uses of new technologies in the public interest. The European Cultural Backbone held its annual meeting in Brussels on 10 -11 July 2000, against the backdrop of the World-Information.Org Exhibition, which is organised as part of the European Cultural Capital festival Brussels 2000. The European Cultural Backbone was set up in 1999 as a coalition of institutions and individuals who work in the field of new technologies and who creatively use and develop participatory media for social change. Its membership reflects the geographical, social and cultural diversity of Europe, including non-EU-Member States and partners in other continents.
