It's a series of picture covering the topic of visions you have in dreams, which are always quite unclear and fuzzy. So are the pictures - very detailed, but still strange. Go to the Visions exhibition.
URB Magazine 16. December 1999
Quoted from mp3.com: "The editors of URB Magazine, America's number one source for electronic music, recently went diggin' through MP3.com's proverbial crates in search of standouts.

One time, my dear friend Matthias Betz asked me why I didn't keep all old versions of my homepage, I had no answer. So I started to look for everything that was left and put it all on one page - the "site history", a new section of my Gallery (which is looking nicer than ever now).
Press and Radio coverage 07. May 1999
DJ Lightwood just got an email from Australia yesterday, and please read what Breakspeare from Perth had to say:
"Wondering if I could get a release date on 'Screwdriver'. After playing 'Pulse Code' out for the last three months I'm dying to hear something new from Simon V. 'Pulse Code' is THE MOST underrated track in '99. ..."
Me, as the ultimate authority in .mp3 issues, got featured in the German Newspaper Reutlinger Generalanzeiger.
I also got told by Doormat that:
"... BBC Radio 1: Mary Ann Hobbes (as I think it was) had the One night album as her album of the week and played a few tracks from it...(which I missed)...I only caught the last one she played that night....Pulse Code...anyway, though you might be interested to know that the UK is taking notice!"
Death of Kemistry 27. April 1999
I just heard of the death of DJ Kemistry (one part of Kemistry & Storm) after a car accident. This is a very sad news for me and probably everybody who heard them play or even talked with them. The Drum'n'Bass scene is loosing a unique person and driving force.
Mekka & Symposium 99 07. April 1999
Last weekend I've been to Mekka & Symposium '99. The time there was stressful but I enjoyed meeting up with friends and that little Evosonic live broadcast via mobile phone :-)
Kemi & Storm at the Depot 07. March 1999
Kemistry & Storm blew my head off at the Depot on Saturday ... the venue was completely packed and overcrowded and they were playing only the ruffest and dirtiest tunes ... as for my new productions, some of the tracks are working good on the dancefloor, but I also have some more home-listening oriented tracks coming up, so look out for some little audio bits soon.
Santorin releases as MP3 15. December 1998
.MP3 files are back on my site, listen to the 2 releases on Santorin in full quality! Oh, before I forget it, there's another poem on the philosophy pages, "on my way home" - for all those who are involved in the nightlife business.
I also redesigned some parts of the site, it should load faster now and be more comfortable to navigate. more good news: my CD will be ready before Christmas!
One Night album announced 18. November 1998
I have created a track called "Helden der Stille" for the Beta Tape, which will be out in December on Megahertz. You can listen to an excerpt by clicking on the Beta link, or look at the picture for this track by clicking on the title. The music itself is very experimental and rough, just right to clean your soul.
My CD project is arriving at it's final stage. The music and artwork is done and will go into production phase soon. I hope that it will be available at the end of December or early January. The CD will be titled one night, released under the name Simon V.
New homepage location 21. September 1998
I have a new homepage location. The Internet Agency 21torr thought that my pages and those of my friends are causing too much traffic, and they were not willing to host them anymore for free. So I had to move...
... back at the Kosmic Free Music Foundation... New address: http://vivid.kosmic.org
The Santorin pages have also been detached from my homepage, the new location is www.santorin.de, before we move to our own domain. I'm sorry for all inconveniences.
Liveact in Heidelberg 29. August 1998
I did a liveact last Saturday at the Karlstorbahnhof in Heidelberg, together with Prymer from Black Beat Productions along with a Drummer, Bass Player, DJ and MC! This was a very shortly arranged event so I had no time to announce it properly, hope everyone who was there enjoyed it. Pictures will be available on my pages as soon as they're ready.
Black Beat guest release 27. July 1998
I had been working on a couple of new tracks, including a guest release on Black Beat Productions as well as a new EP for Santorin Records.

All the old tracks will be reworked over the next months and you can expect high quality versions.
Nearly finished school 13. June 1998
I've nearly finished school now and I'll be staying in Tübingen for another year, as my civilian service is starting July 1st. Some people had problems listening to the .mp3 sound files of my first record. I have encoded these files again with the newest version of the Frauenhofer Encoder, I hope that all problems are gone now.
My own PC & Philosophy page added 17. May 1998
Got my very own PC these days. As long as I've been using computers, I never had a PC of my own, I was used to have one together with my brothers. Times change, money comes and little vivid gets his PC. Let's hope it will liven up my current mood ...
These Philosophy pages are still in experimental mode, and I don't know if they will be extended or closed in the near future.
First record out 28. March 1998
My first Vinyl record is going to hit the shops at the end of April, you can listen to extracts of all 3 tracks on the front page. I do not plan to put the full .mp3 files of all tunes on my webpages before the end of 1998. I hope that you are willing to pay a little bit for the music you love. 2 of these tunes are not tracked and therefore won't be available on my pages either, but the as you can see, "Bleeding" is on the first release as well, which is a reworked version of the track you can download from my homepage.
Interview 17. January 1998
On Wednesday this week I was interviewed by Joachim Henschel. The portrait was published in the German newspaper Schwäbische Tagblatt today. I scanned the article for you, so it's possible to read on my webpages if you are able to understand German. To all foreigners, feel free to use Altavista Translator for a quick'n'dirty translation.
There's a new and kicking Drum'n'Bass piece available, fasten your selbeats and start downloading State of Mind (97 Breaks Edit).
Spice Girls remixes 04. June 1997
The Spice girls remixes which gave me the idea for my aprilfool joke are online. In the archive you'll find a great track by another Mono memeber and my contribution.
I've also done a new track, showing how my taste has changed, and therefore my music developed. Can you hear the "Sounds from the Street"?
