Manuel Göttsching Dead At 70
December 12, 2022
Manuel Göttsching, the German guitarist and electronic music pioneer who released influential works with Ash Ra Tempel and as a solo artist, has died at age 70. A note on Göttsching’s website indicates he “passed away peacefully” on Sunday, Dec. 4. Göttsching was born in 1952 in Berlin. He founded Ash Ra Tempel in 1970 as he and his collaborators moved from a focus on song-based rock ‘n’ roll into free improv. The group also featured Klaus Schulze, previously of Tangerine Dream. Ash Ra Tempel released five albums from 1971-1973, helping to define the sound of the emergent krautrock scene. He released his solo debut Inventions For Electric Guitar in 1975. From then Göttsching recorded solo or as Ashra, an abbreviation of his prior band name, including 1976’s New Age Of Earth. He became one of the most influential musicians in the post-Eno ambient movement. Göttsching’s 1984 solo album E2-E4, named for the most popular opening chess move, proved to be especially influential. The album, which consisted of one lengthy electronic track, played a key role in the evolution of house and techno music. In particular, it became a hit at Paradise Garage.

Fatal accident in Waldthurn: car crashes into garage
December 5, 2022
In an accident in the town center, a 55-year-old man from Waldthurn died unexpectedly in his vehicle around 4:05 p.m. on Monday afternoon. Initial information indicates that health reasons were the cause of the accident. The man is said to have gotten into his car seconds before. As he was driving away, the passenger side was already over the exterior entrance step of the residential building. He then touched the wall of the house and steered his vehicle across the central island of Neuenhammerstrasse in the direction of Schulstrasse. The car crashed head-on into the garage of a house. As police chief Tobias Wirth said when asked on Tuesday, the police still suspect a medical emergency as the cause of the accident. The car only covered a distance of around 70 meters. According to Wirth, accelerating over such a short distance is not enough to trigger a fatal collision. Despite immediate resuscitation by the rescue workers, any help came too late for the man. The emergency doctor could only determine death. The firefighters also secured the building with supports, as it was massively damaged by the impact. The police estimate the total damage to be in the higher five-digit range.

A teacher “died suddenly”:
Our good colleague and friend Anne Jorunn Bjorheim has died
December 5, 2022
We were incredibly sad when we received the news on 18 November this year that Anne Jorunn Bjorheim, 42, had passed away after a short illness. She started at Skeiane secondary school in Sandnes in 2006, where she was a subject teacher in mathematics, KRLE and social studies, grade leader, contact teacher and a valued and important member of the school's development group. It was in mathematics teaching that Anne Jorunn's commitment was most visible, where the pupils' activity, motivation and curiosity were at the centre. She was usually one of the first in the staff room every morning, and always had time for a coffee; ideas for new, exciting teaching plans, a bit of careful gruff about the fact that not everything at school worked as we wanted, or a story about her beautiful girls, whom we know she was endlessly fond of, proud of and always there for. Even recently, she was calm and optimistic.

Man in his 50s dies after single vehicle accident in Aalborg
December 7, 2022
The police's hypothesis is that the man in his 50s became unwell while driving the car that crashed. The motorist drove into a lamppost at high speed on Tuesday evening. It has not yet been definitively established what led to the accident, but the police have a hypothesis. “What we immediately assess is that he probably felt unwell. He unfortunately died shortly after he arrived at the hospital in Aalborg,” says [police spokesman] Ole Buus. “We have a car inspector with us on the investigations, and when something comes from him, we have better clarity about it. A car inspector's task is to investigate serious traffic accidents. The car inspector can, among other things, assess how fast the car was driven, or whether braking or the like has been done.”

A passerby found dead after suffering a heart attack in Cudillero
December 5, 2022
A passerby of about 55 or 60 years old was found dead shortly before two in the afternoon this Sunday on the Vallina road, located in the town of El Pito, in the council of Cudillero. Everything indicates that the man, whose identity is being investigated by the Civil Guard, since he did not carry any documentation, could have died of a heart attack while walking along this path that belongs to the Northern Camino de Santiago. The man also had a blow to the forehead and nose from which he was bleeding, presumably due to the fall to the ground that he suffered after fainting. Everything indicates that he collapsed after suffering a cardiac arrest. As indicated by a neighbor in the area who tried to revive him in the first moments, "the body was found by two neighbors lying on the Vallina road." "I arrived in the car shortly after and I think he was already dead, his face already had the grayish color of deceased people," he explained. "We practiced, both us and the health personnel, cardiac massages for half an hour, but it was impossible to revive him," said this same neighbor, still affected by the experience he had lived just fifty meters from his house.
