[quote=“Jon”]Rytm is Swedish for Rhythm. Plus it’s a four letter word, highly compatible, so to speak, with Four and Keys.

I didn’t realize the supply of red paint was so limited, but I guess Clavia consumes most of the supply. In fact, it’s kind of wasteful for you to use so much on your avatar.
Well since it is a real Swedish word that’s OK I guess. Maybe I should start speaking Swedish, if I get the AR it’s going to be 3 Elektron machines and a Nord Modular making all the sound in my studio, which is just strange.[/quote]

Let us know if they start belting out minimal techno versions of Abba classics when your back is turned

Er…actually I must admit that sometimes happens when I’m controlling them. I quite like Abba

Dear foreigners, please get over Abba already We prefer to be recognized for Entombed, Anti Cimex, Adam Beyer and TM404.

I kind of like the Swedish spelling, it’s in line with brand being spelt with a “k” (the Swedish word for electron, the particle orbiting an atom).

Why does that small country have so much innovation and impact on the world?

Why does that small country have so much innovation and impact on the world?

I think partly because we have ruled ourselves since the sixteenth century (and most of the time before that too), and partly because our greatest riches in modern times have been ore and lumber. Both needed to be brought south a great distance from the cold northern parts of our country and then refined.
So we needed engineering to get the iron out of the ground and the trees out of the forests, and also had plenty of materials and fuel to manufacture things. Skilled craftsmen from what is present-day Belgium were also invited to come and work in Sweden, bringing their knowledge.
Later we utilized our great rivers in the north with fast rapids to get cheap electricity. Inventors came up with ingenious things like dynamite, the spanner and ball bearings. Avoiding serious social unrest in the early 20th century by way of corporatism and cleverly staying out of both world wars also helped.

How is the educational system in Sweden with respect to science and engineering? Where did the Elektron, TE, Clavia etc people study?

Entombed should be mentioned more often on this forum !

In Sweden you can study at the university for free.

MX · 2014-01-23T14:16:32.000Z

Yea this makes sense since I was asking me the same question, why no H…
A little anectode, I’m italian, so translation is “Ritmo”, but never use this word in Brasil since, there, the sense is something bloody else!

In Spanish, the ‘h’ doesn’t sound. It works for me.
